Flowers shouldn't only be given in death but in life. Aunt Stella, you were so much more than what you allowed most to see. And to those who were blessed to know you and feel your love, will forever be grateful. A strong, fierce and humble woman who's doors were always open to her loved ones. I will forever cherish my summers with you and uncle roc. Tell him the "cowboys" are still my favorite team. Rest well Auntie Stella. I love you, Mia.

So sorry to hear about Stella's passing. She and I worked together for many years and formed a friendly bond. Stella was a very private person. . she would only allow a few people to get close to her and I admired her for that. Over the years we lost touch but she will always have a SPECIAL PLACE in my heart! My condolences go out to the entire family and close friends. With love . . . . Margaret (formerly Manier) Davis

To Honor a love you is to fulfill their wishes. I'm truly sorry your final wishes were not taken into consideration after all.

Aunt Stella fought through it all. You will be missed by those who cherish and loved you unconditionally. I prayed and ask God if he would grant your final wishes and he saw fit. Your integrity and private lifestyle was unmatched. Aunt Stella through prayer I believe you are smiling being laid to rest as your wishes are being granted. Loving you always your firstborn niece Sherlvon "Lyniece".
