I just learned of Stella's passing today. She was a really sweet person. I don't think I ever heard anyone make a bad comment about her. I am so saddened to have missed her funeral. We had been friends since the 4th grade. She was a very proud class of '56 "Old Dawg." My deepest sympathy to her daughter, Robin, and the rest of her family.
