I was listening to Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Lynn Anderson and Patsy Cline on Amazon Prime and thought of the lady who taught me to appreciate country music--Stella Biondo. We've lost touch over the years, so I thought I'd look for her on the computer--and I am sitting hear, crying, because she was such a special lady in my life. Ramona, I am so sorry for your loss. I'll always remember her, just like that photo, a microphone in her hand. We would take turns singing all her favorite music-- karioke style. I am blessed to have known her. Sincerely, Mary Anne Bocas(Hunter)

I was about 11 or 12 when I met Stella. She was instantly the favorite adult in the neighborhood... all of us kids called her Aunt Sam. Aunt Sam always welcomed us into her home and into her life. I will never forget her beautiful singing voice, her charismatic personality, or her oneness with God. Please rest in peace Aunt Sam.... Love always, Michelle

I was Sis Stella's pastor for a short time and fell in love with her almost immediately. She reminded me more of my late mother than any woman I have ever met. She had a very loving spirit and was never afraid to speak what was on her heart and mind. Will miss her wit but thankful I will spend eternity with her one day.
