I express my condolences with a heavy heart to the Sansom Family. I had the pleasure of meeting your mom and grandmother when I volunteered at the Shannex. She attended our Tuesday morning socials always arrived looking like she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine. It didn't take long for me to realize Stella, Called a spade a spade, I loved her attitude and her sense of humour she always gave me a smile for the day. Your Family was truly blessed. Before Covid, I always baked something to bring for the group. She would usually come down to check out what I had baked each Tuesday. Stella was a fan of what I called my "Christmas Fruitcake". Knowing this, I always Discreetly wrapped extra for her. I have many memories, one I'll always remember is during one of our "summer" gatherings she suggested I could bake a fruitcake. I responded by saying that was a Christmas baking, I stand corrected very quickly by Stella "it isn't just Christmas baking, it can be baked any time of the year you can find the ingredients" she had such quick wit. Thanks to her I now understand and will never forget there's no such thing as "Christmas Fruitcake". Needless to say, I always looked forward and tried to sit beside Stella. I was looking forward to socializing once again this summer with my cherished friends at the Shannex when we could safely get together outdoors. My Shannex visits won't be the same without your mom and grandmother. I will miss our conversations, her quick wit, and most definitely her opinions. Stella was one good person who touched my heart. Please know i will be thinking of you, the Sansom family. Peace be with you all at this difficult time, Debbie Lynch
