Jeanne, Melissa and Becky- Rick, Michael and my thoughts and love are with you at this time. I will always think of Auntie Stella as someone with a gentle nature with a great sense of humor. My favorite story she told me was that when she was dating Uncle Dick he would walk her home and try to kiss her and she said no because her mother would see her lipstick was off. the next time they came back from a date, she again said no to a kiss (for the same reason) and Uncle Dick pulled out a lipstick tube of her exact shade...problem solved! May she and Dick now reunite and kiss as much as they desire (lipstick replacement no longer required!) Sending you all hugs and much love- Judy Cormier
