Dear Stella and family-

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Stella, the thing I remember most of you and Bobby was when I'd come to your house selling things when I was in grade school. There was always something to laugh about and I always thought the two of you were so wonderful. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
