Please accept our apologies that we didn't even know Ms. Stella had passed until I found her obituary online today. The Tollefsons didn't know either, and are saddened as well as we are. I'm not sure any of the neighbors knew... Ms. Stella was a joy to be around. The few times I took to sit down and chat with her, she was always cheerful and thankful and kind. Often she & Mr. Delbert would stop and chat as they were coming home from a doctor's visit while I was out working in the flower garden, and if they didn't have time to stop, they always waved. I am sad she is gone.

Danny ~ I never had the privilege of meeting your mother (or your dad), but God had plans for me and for them that bonded us together in the most special of circumstances ~ the three of us were blessed to have you in our lives. I will always, always, be thankful beyond words for the wonderful people they were and that God made sure you were so very fortunate to have them for your mother and dad. Cherish always the wonderful memories you have.
