Please accept our deepest condolences and sympathy for the loss of your beloved Stella Souza, a kind loving, caring woman.  Although I worked in the Essex Group Corporate Office in Dartmouth for five years, I remember Stella working at Brandon Woods because our paths crossed daily by my going to Brandon Woods and/or Stella coming to the Corporate Office.  We always talked about love for our Portuguese families and our Portuguese heritage.  My nephew/godson George Philip Abreu, Chef/Supervisor at Brandon Woods recalls working with Stella as a caring hard worker, always willing to go the extra mile doing whatever had to be done with a smile and never complaining.   My brother-in-law, Ernest Taber, worked in St. Luke's Material Handling Department and recalls her care for everyone.   My sister, brothers and I last saw Stella at St Luke's Hospital while visiting George Philip's mother, a patient in the hospital room.  When Stella noticed us, she stopped to talk and  inquire about her. 
Stella is with Jesus, our Lord and God in Heaven with her beloved parents and brother, Christopher Souza.  God bless and be with all of you.
