Aunt Stella was such an amazing and loving Aunt. She loved her sister, my grandmother so much and was her best friend. I always loved hearing her play the piano and her cooking. I still remember days of being at the diner and making chocolate oatmeal cookies still my favorite. She will be very much missed, but i know she is happy to be home. Her love will always be with us!!##imported-begin##Jennifer Wilson##imported-end##

I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing.. She was a cousin of my mother's Grace Cooper Maxwell. My mother had many happy memories gowing up in Brookeland. Stella & Joe Bill were in most of them. My prayers are with you all.##imported-begin##Deana Maxwell##imported-end##
To the Harper Family,
My grandmother Grace Cooper Maxwell was a cousin of your mother's. My grandmother spoke so fondly of your mother. I can remember attending family gatherings and listening to your mother play the piano. Your mother was always so nice and sweet. I was so saddened to hear of her passing. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.##imported-begin##Melanie Kluch##imported-end##
Sylvia,
I am saddened to hear of the passing of your Mother. I will always remember the picture in your classroom at Ashley that she painted--the one with the kittens. I remember what a pleasant person she was--her kind, sweet smile. I know you feel blessed to have had such a wonderful Mother. My prayers and thoughts are with you, your sisters, and all the family. Sending my love and sympathy to you, Charlotte##imported-begin##Charlotte Smith ##imported-end##
Dear Harper Family...I don't have the words to express how much your dear mother meant to me. She impacted my life in so many ways for which I am very grateful. I have fond memories of playing with June at your home at "the pump station" and your mother always showing kindness to me. And,of course, wonderful memories at Smyrna Baptist hearing Mrs. Harper play the piano and teaching VBS. I am blessed to have known her and the three of you. May you feel the love and comfort that only Jesus can give.
Love to all,

I am saddened to hear of Stella's passing, but am thrilled to think about the reunions and rejoicing that are taking place in Heaven. Stella and my mother, Lois Hybarger Forster, grew up together in Pineland. They were thrilled to reconnect in their later years. I have kept in touch with Stella since mother's passing in 2004. I so enjoyed my talks with her. My love and prayers go out to all of her family and friends. She was a wonderful lady who will be missed by many. May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you comfort and peace in the coming days.
Love,
Mark and Ann Forster Jennings##imported-begin##Ann Forster Jennings##imported-end##
We are so sorry to hear of your loss Sylvia, but we are also so glad that we got to know your beautiful mom. She will surely be missed, but hopefully she will continue to make beautiful music in heaven.##imported-begin##The Whitesides##imported-end##
Stella was a wonderful and kind neighbor and friend to my mother Lois Long at Buckner Westminster Place in the last years of my mother's life. They both loved playing the piano and the Friday night sing-a-longs. Stella was a caring, generous lady who will be missed very much. My sincere condolences to her family.##imported-begin##David Long##imported-end##
