  4. Tracy Kyle Jones, Waxahachie, Texas says

    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.

  5. Irma Kyle, Denison, TX says

    I have loving memories of Aunt Stella. I always enjoyed visiting with Aunt Stella each time I went to AR. She sure had a lifetime of memories.While we are mourning the loss of Aunt Stella, others are rejoicing to meet her behind the veil. Love,Irma (Hollis) Kyle
