"My thoughts and prayers are with you family. Aunt Stella was a wonderful person. I have many memories of "intruding" into her house as a kid. She and Uncle Melvin always made us feel welcome! I hated it when the moved away from Granny's. Them being right next door always gave us somewhere else to go when we were visiting.
