Almost 60 years of friendship with lots of memories and all the fun we had in high school. She will always be remembered by her nickname (Hippo)  she always seemed to remember when Sandy called her by that name even in the darkest times. We miss her dearly and will always remember her in our prayers. May her soul rest in peace.

Love, Sandy & Lou Stellato
