Our dear granddaughter is now 17 years old!!!

 It seems like only yesterday when I held sweet Stella in my arms—when she was only an hour old.

It has been a joy for us to spend endless hours and days with her through the last seventeen years as she has grown into a lovely young lady.  Thank you for all the precious memories, Stella.

Stella in my wedding gown a few months before her birthday….she has promised to wear it when she find a man as perfect as Grandpa to marry.

Happy Birthday dear Stella, we love you very much!
