My whole heart and condolences go out to the Galanis family, they raised an angel. I've written a poem for her, it is the least I could do:
Stella
Unlike all the other stars in the sky
You never burned out
Even if I might cry
We're blessed to have had you around
I promise I won't let your memory die
Your beauty was like the moon during nighttime
I'll paint you to keep your spirit alive
Your smile won't ever fade from our minds

Ann, Peter, Mary, and George, we are heartbroken. We don't expect that words can ease your pain but want you to know that we are so sad and thinking of you every day. We also know that you have many happy memories of Stella which is comforting. I remember Peter telling me when Stella was in middle school that she was an "old soul." That's a nice memory.

I am so very sorry for the loss of this vibrant, beautiful child. Is it possible that God takes some of his angels early so that they need not suffer any longer? This may be the only feasible reason that Stella has left us.

Perhaps they are not stars,
but rather openings in heaven
where the love of our lost ones
pours through and shines down upon us
to let us know theyre happy.
