My dear friend was "Dreaming of a Right Christmas" this year and she celebrated it with her husband, her sons and others that have gone before!
How we loved her! She was a mentor, a counselor, friend and such an inspiration!
What a legacy she leaves behind...

To Keith, Susan, and all of your family we extend our deepest sympathy. I never had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Stella, but from the memories that Zach has shared with us, it sounds like she was truly a special and inspiring woman. Continue to treasure your memories of her in the days to come. I hope they will bring you much comfort.
Sincerely,
Mike and Barbara Cole

We will miss our Aunt Stella more than words can begin to say. She has been a major part of mine and my famiily lives. Her love for the Lord, her family and all who come in contact with her has always shined brightly to those around her. She always had a sweet smile and quick wit, a sharp mind and a joy to all. We thank God for giving us the full 102 yrs and rejoice with her on her homecoming in the Lords house.
