When Stella walked into a room it got lighter and happier. She was always laughing, always cheerful, always full of fun. She was such a lady, so well-spoken and polite and then come out with something that would make the vicar faint. Incredibly she didn't change over the decades. She was truly ageless. She was always kind, generous and thoughtful. A bright, beautiful light has blinked out and our world is darker for it.
