I’ll never forget the day your parents came to Mom & Dad’s after the apartment I was living in burned down. She came in with her walker, left it outside the kitchen and WALKED AROUND fixing stuff for us. She even kicked Mom out of the kitchen. We all just stood there with our mouths open. She will be greatly missed. I am praying for all of you.
Karen and family So so sorry about your mom You were one devoted daughter Thinking of you at this time
I remember Aunt Stellla imitating the dance that Charro dof. It was always good for a laugh. She will be missed. I wish I could be there for her funeral but Indiana is just to far away.
My deep condolences to Faye and her family….
One favorite memory that shows how loving Aunt Stella was to all the family happened when my mom, Millie, died 49 years ago today (September 21st, 1971). Aunt Stella stayed with us for a week after Mom died to help take care of the four of us. When I told her I did not know how I would ever thank her, she told me not to worry, just pass on the good deed to someone else. That is what I have done whenever I can. Though I haven’t seen Aunt Stella in many, many years, my heart aches knowing she is gone. Our prayers are with you all.
