Hank was an incredible woman. She was truly inspiring in her indomitable strength, her deep intellect, her love and devotion to her children- a rare woman of her era.

She touched me in many ways. She always made the time to come and see me when I came to Boston, to sit in the kitchen and talk and catch up.

I know how much Susan and Stephen deeply loved and respected her.

May her inspiration in being strong in life but also kind and caring live with all of us.

She made a difference. God bless the Stickells family and know I shed my tears with you.

With love,

Cory

I send my heartfelt condolences to all the family at this sad time. Hank had a profound influence on me as a young woman starting out in Boston and I will always be grateful for her friendship, honesty, and advice.

I knew Hank for most of my life, regrettably not that well. I consider it a missed opportunity as she was very intelligent and the most gracious person. We spoke for hours about investments and she provided thoughtful observations with humor and great insight. I'll always be grateful for knowing her.
