I did not know Great Aunt Stella well but over the latter years, via social media, I feel like I got to know her better. I admire and respect her love for gardening and her love of family and her principled life. I love that she passed away over Easter weekend. I doubt that she would have wanted otherwise. With love, Tom Kelly, Jr.
