Santarpio Family....We were so saddened to hear of your loss, and send our sincere sympathies. Stella leaves behind so many wonderful memories for everyone who knew her.

I always knew when my mother and Stella had gone shopping to Filene’s Basement and then shared Chinese food for lunch. My mother spoke with more English woven into her conversation for a few days after their outings. Time to say goodbye to Missa Misella (the name my children gave her when they were toddlers).

You are in our thoughts and prayers.
