Lori, Your mom was so full of life and so 'proper'. I remember how she dressed and wore make-up. I know this is funny to you. She was so kind and delightful. Take care of yourself and your family. Love you always, Barbara Cunningham##imported-begin##Barbara Cunningham##imported-end##

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I got to know Stella very well when working with her in the Clerk's office and she was always such a wonderful lady and quick to lend an ear, a hug or a laugh and some well needed advice a time or two.
