    Debbie & Jim, I was so sorry to hear the news about your moms passing. Babs & Bob had just visited my mom and told her your mom was in Sienna Woods. Your mom was such a pretty lady and always very nice. I remember playing in your basement as young kids and she would fix us lunch or give us drinks, she was so friendly. I was a little under the weather Sunday so I could not make it to see you both. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

    Stella was the greatest neighbor you could ask for and she was a friend to all who knew her. I will never forget her or her love for flowers. Debbie and Jim you both are in my heart and prayers but always keep your Mom's memory close and know that she is with your Dad and she loves you both and those precious grandchildren.
