Stella
I know today will be a difficult day for you and your family. I never had the opportunity to meet Mom Staten, but to know you, is to know her, to love you and your family is to also love her! God is your comforter and your healer. Take each day as it comes, cry if you want, smile when you think of her! I know you miss her!
Our sincere prayers and deepest sympathy are with you in the loss of your mother. There is no deeper pain. Though you will never get over it, in time, like me, you will heal. Lean on God for the strength and peace that only He can provide.

her younger days....
My First Impression
I had the priviledge of being one (1) of a bus load of people to meet Mrs. Staten. One week-end, several years ago the youth of Linconia Tabernacle Christian Center attended a Youth Convention that was held in Virgina, I was one of the chaperones. It was after the evening service, while we were all seated on the bus that was to return us to our hotel, that Stella brought her mom on board the bus to introduce her. The pride in Stella's voice and the warm smile on her mom's face as she made the introduction is still fresh in my mind. I could feel the "Southern Hospitality" as she greeted us all! This was my first and lasting impression of Gladys Staten, a very sweet and warm lady!
Sleeping on the Couch
After Stella had Khrista, the family and friends planned a baby shower for her. We really wanted to surprise Stella by bringing Mom Staten to Pennsylvania for the baby shower. Frank, Stella's husband, contacted Mom Staten and made all of the arrangements. Mom Staten stayed at my home until it was time for the shower.
While Mom Staten was sitting on the couch, she must have fallen asleep and my daughter, LaTisha must have been watching her! When Mom Staten closed her eyes, LaTisha grabbed her feet and slowly placed them on the couch so she could be comfortable!
Now, if you knew Mom Staten, those feet didn't stay up on the couch long!
