Dear Frank, Don and Sogga Family: We are praying for everyone as we know everyone's hearts are heavy. Stella (Gran-Gran) will be loved and missed dearly, but what a joy to know that she is reunited with our Heavenly Father and her beloved. There was a whole lot of love, laughs and fun wrapped up in that little lady -- and we are blessed to have known her - even from the sidelines. Love you all... Eddie, Lisa, Natalie and Joseph Medeles
