Stella, today a lot of us are meeting at Tomasitas to celebrate your life and have a swirl in remembrance of you. You are missed and thought about each and every day. You are still the most amazing person I had the privilege to know and have in my life since my first memories. Please give grandma grandma, my grandma Tessie, your mom, Glo, Uncle Johnny and Steve hugs for us. I love you so much! Your cousin, Angel (Oshae thinks about and misses you so much) We have our two lil Zay´s, Tatiana´s and Deserae´s that I know you are watching over.

Gloria,
I am so sorry for your loss. I am in shock and so sad to hear about Stella. I was out of town and just found out....I always considered you both my "primas" and talked to Stella often at work and recently on fb. She was so funny and genuine. Stella was a beautiful woman with a big heart. I will miss her...my heart is so sad today...you are all in my prayers...she always spoke so proudly of her daughter especially and kept me updated on her modeling...I used to always tell her I knew where she got her good looks from because Stella was beautiful. My heart is broken.

Cousin, I don't know why god called you so early,for those of us left here missing you any answer he could offer us wouldn't be good enough. I will cherish the memories of our childhood, I wil miss our late night talks. Traci will miss the laughter you brought to her. Stella was one of a kind and will be missed by all who were lucky enough to be a part of her life. Love you cousin.....

Today we lay you to rest Prima. And even though I call you prima you are more of a sister to me. I'm glad you are resting and are no longer in pain, but my heart aches because I can't reach out and text you anymore, my heart aches because we didn't get together often enough while you were here with us and my heart aches because you left us so soon and I miss you dearly. I love you Prima, and I will never ever forget you. Rest in Peace.

Sweet Deserae,
We realize there are no words that will ease your sorrow but we are praying that in time yours and your family's pain will lessen and that the memories of your mom will give you strength when you are feeling defeated and smiles when you are feeling blue.
"There is a sacredness in tears.
They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power.
They speak more eloquently
than 10,000 tongues.
They are the messengers
of overwhelming grief,
of deep contrition,
and of unspeakable love." - Washington Irving

To the family of Stella,
A great lady who had lots of respect for other people. She would always put other people first & would put herself in your shoes as if she knew what the employee was going through. It will be hard to replace her at Department of Health. She will be missed by all employees.
