IN MEMORY OF STELLA
This site is dedicated to the memory of Stella Fae Miller, Mike’s mother. Stella had carried a small Whiting & Davis mesh purse as a young woman and in 1968 she gave the purse to Sherry. It was this act that sparked an interest in mesh purses in both of us that lives on today, just as Stella lives on in our memories.
