Gees, I was thinking of Aunt Stella this past week. Mom and I were talking about our family, their love for each other . Aunt Stella and Uncle Wendell were part of my fond memories growing up and so close to Sylvia and Stan, my grandparents. What a great legacy they left in us to remember family, love and kindness.

I wish I had gotten to know Stella but am glad to make the family connection. My deepest sympathy to Joe & the Osche family.

My fondest memories of Aunt Stella were sitting around the table at Gram's (Sylvia's) or walking down to See both Aunt Stella and Uncle Wendell at their house, which was always a treat for me! The conversations were fun & loving with a real connection to family. These are the gifts I take away with me as part of our family's legacy. I truly hope that Uncle Wendell, Gram, Grandpap, my Dad and uncles have greeted Aunt Stella with a hug and a job well-done! I miss them all so very much! My deepest sympathies. Jan Klodowski

We were saddened to hear of Aunt Stella's passing, she was a special person to us. Tony was reminiscing about her stuffed alligator, huge sea shell that she always told him he could hear the ocean in and plenty of ginger ale. I remember her smile and the sparkle in her eyes. She and her sisters always made me feel so welcome.

We hope that the warm memories that you hold of your Mom will ease your sorrow and eventually be replaced with smiles and laughter. Please know that we are keeping each of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Tony, Lori & Brad Klodowski
