Our thoughts are with the Stelmach Family. We have known the Stelmach kids since childhood, especially Andy, who is like a brother to us. I know he is deeply saddened and we wish him & his family much love and lots of hugs.



With love, Martin, Teresa, Lourdes, Martin,Jr, Nilda & Yvette Crespo

It's amazing to me that just like that, you're no longer here with us. But, in other ways you will live inside all of those you touched and those of us who knew you, forever. You are and always will be a very special friend to me, and though my time in knowing you was short, it will always be a time I look back at with a smile on my face.



You will be missed Stelms . . and now you're free to fly.



Always,



Jerry

It has been such a long time since I last seen you Sophia. We were good friends when we were very young. (I am Linda and Georges neice) I remember when you used to play your brothers Benny and The Jets Album when he wasn't home. We used to hang out together, and I have very fond memories. I am so sorry to hear the sad news. God Bless you and your family.



Sincerely,

Gail
