I miss you so much Steph I will always love you and never forget what we had together not that I ever could.

March 31, 2014

Steph, There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. No matter how much time had passed we always kept in touch and started right back where we left off each time. You had & always will have a special place in my heart. I keep wishing we would have set up the plans to get together that we always talked about but I guess I just kept thinking we will have more time. I remember the day a few months back when I saw you at Oakbrook and we talked about making plans again. I wish I could go back in time & take every chance I had to spend time with you.
I hope you know how truly loved & missed you are!!

Xo ~ Nikki

My deepest sympathy on the loss of Stephanie. She was on one of our freshman cheer squads at Hinsdale Central, and was such a lovely girl.
She had the most terrific smile, it just lit up her face! I am certain that she will be terribly missed by her family and friends.

Stephanie I miss you...Love Marm

July 18, 2013

When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.

A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything's gonna be just fine'
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.

An Angel's love is always true
On that you can depend.
They will always stand beside you
And will always be your friend.
Through darkest hours and brightest days
Our Angel's see us through
They smile when we are happy, and will cry when we are blue..

Thanks for being our Angel my friend
We will be there with you in the end.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all who have lost such a beautiful girl. Steph will be greatly missed but will remain in our hearts and will continually watch over us all. WE LOVE YA STEPH

Stephanie will always be remembered by Osadolo and me as a great skater. Her sweetness and kindness is what I remember most. I was so happy to teach a class at College of DuPage and find her in the room. Her intellect was clear to me on that day. Bob, Tracey, Brian, and the rest of the family: You are in my thoughts and in my heart. Your sadness is my sadness. We are forever connected through our skating children. I hope you know that you have our support at this time and beyond.
