Wow. What a loss indeed for Stockton but what a beautiful legacy she leaves behind. I was born raised in Stockton in 1962. We were on Weber street just a few blocks from the b street Church. I know it well. There were many stallworth's that my family was acquainted with throughout 60's and 70's. I've lived away from Stockton since '88. My dad passed in May of this year. RIP sweet lady. God bless all the Stallworth's.
