Stephanie was a joy to know both as a friend and as a former neighbor. I don’t recall ever seeing her without a smile on her face. Hers was surely a life well lived in faith and love.

I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss this morning. Your mom looked so much like you. Someone that knew her from church said her voice was like an angel. I know she was very proud of you and everything you have done for the family. I will keep you and your family in my prayers to help you through these difficult times. My sincere sympathy.
