Terry, Kathy and extended Family:
Words can not express what Mama has meant to me over the years. She has been a quiet encourager, an example of being a Godly wife, loving Mother, caring Grandmother, dear friend and faithful Christian. Her actions spoke her heart and I will be forever grateful to have known and loved her. She will be missed by all! May God comfort you all during this time. I love you!

The sorrow we all feel for losing Ms. Stella can only be lessend by the fact that we know that she is with God and all those who were waiting for her. What a wonderful example of a Christian, woman, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother(all those family titles)and friend. She welcomed me fondly as a teen and when I would search for her at church, she gave me the same feeling of kindness. I can honestly say she was a blessing to me and many others. Thank you Roy and Terry for sharing her with us. I will always remember her as an example for us all to emulate.

Stella was our neighbor and she will be missed. We didn't know her well, but knowing she loved the Lord and is in heaven is a comfort. On a weekly basis she brought our trash can up from the road and in return our 4 year old daughter brought her newspaper to her door, often with a rose. Our prayers are with her family.

Dear Amy and Family,
She lived a long life...be thankful and know how much she appreciated having a loving granddaughter like you. Above all, she loved the Lord and she brought your Dad into the world.
Love from your friends,

Your loss is great, yet the good Lord will put his arms of comfort around you and yours. Your mother was a grand lady. May the Lord continue to bless you all in your time of sorrow.

ROY JR, TERRY AND FAMILIES,
I KNOW THAT YOUR HEARTS ARE HEAVY WITH SORROW AT THIS TIME. I HAVE FELT THE SAME WAY WITH THE PASSING OF MY PARENTS. MY ONLY CONSOLATION ALL THESE YEARS HAS BEEN KNOWING THAT MY MOMMA IS EXACTLY WHERE SHE PLANNED TO BE, HER WHOLE LIFE. AUNT STELLA HAS NOW JOINED UNCLE ROY AND IS WHERE SHE WANTED TO BE.
OUR LORD AND GOD WILL LOOK AFTER THEM AS HE HAS PROMISED.
I LOVE YOU BOTH, AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.

Roy and Terry,
I wanted to write a few lines to express my condolences on the lost of your mother. She was a very special lady and I have warm memories of her kindness towards me when we were growing up. Sadly passing comes to all of us in time but its eventuality does not ease the pain when it occures. Best wish to you and your families in this difficult time.

Your mom was a terrific lady and will be truly missed. I am sure she is up in Heaven with your dad and Steve looking down on us. God bless you all.
