Condolences to the family of Mrs. Stella M. Pete. I met her shortly after the family moved to Albany. I had a conversation with her last year and it was a pleasure seeing her after such a long time. She remembered me and my family. Prayers for peace and comfort to her family.
Dr. Pete was a true educator and strong presence in the lives of many young people. She helped to shape me and other members of our family and inspired me to go into education. Thank you for your strength in education and inspiration in service to God. May you receive the just reward of a true servant.
