Dedication

   This website is dedicated to the memory of our loving cousin, Della Wynell Stone-Eby, daughter of Olive C. Phillips-Stone. Della started this journey years before I became interested, collecting pictures and information from as many Aunts and Uncles that would assist her. Without her dedication and tenacity, which she passed on to me, this website would not have become a reality.
   Della battled cancer at the turn of the century. She always maintained a positive attitude and never sought pity or special treatment as a result of her illness. Her faith in God and the love of family and friends sustained her to the end, at the age of 54, October 18, 2004. A life cut short, but one that was lived full of love with a glowing sprit that provided warmth and compassion for all and was a beacon of her faith.
   She was an avid collector of M&M memorabilia and the day she received a four foot tall, forty inch round, plastic “Blue M&M” display figure, was one of her happiest days. She was able to enjoy, “Big Blue,” as she named it, for six months.
