Family of Stella, I am sorry to hear of the passing of Stella. She was my baby sitter for myself and was always a joy when I went to VIP club. It was the nicest club in Weirton. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you Sincerely, Jerry Hamill (Coach Hamills youngest)
John and girls, I’m sorry to hear of Stella’s passing. We go back to the days of the D&M. She was a beautiful lady and a very good business lady. Always a lady. My deepest sympathy.

Dear John and Girls: My very deepest sympathies in the loss of Stella. I had the pleasure of meeting Stella when I worked for Mr. Koumarous and she was a wonderful person who I always enjoyed seeing and talking to. After selling the VIP, I only saw the two of you twice a year at tax time and that we always picked up exactly where we had left off the previous year. I truly missed seeing Stella this year and catching up with her. Keep the memory of Stella alive in your heart always and she will live forever. I will truly miss her. May God offer you peace at this difficult time. Love, Michelle
