Posting again. I sat down at lunch and nearly cried. The entries into the guestbook were so touching and not only by member of the community. There were posts from all over the United States and many were from Deltas.
I would like to quote from an article in today's Plain Dealer by columnist, Phillip Morris.
"I shared a stage with Tubbs Jones a few weeks ago, when she told a charming story about meeting Muhammad Ali. She was a law student at Case Western Reserve University in the early '70s, when Ali was invited to campus to speak. On her way to the speech, Tubbs Jones, a boxing fan, saw a "tall, handsome guy" walking near the school. She stopped and offered him a ride. The man accepted and, as he climbed into the car, she realized her new passenger was Ali.
Far from awed, she began lecturing the champ about walking in a strange city when plenty of transportation was available to a man of his stature.
The "champ" laughed at her precociousness.
She never changed.
Whether she was lecturing a fighter or fighting on behalf of a cause, you always knew exactly where she stood. She was Greater Cleveland's champion. "
She touched many lives and always was quick to brighten a room with her smile. Stephanie will be missed.
