Stephanie was a joy to work with. I only had the pleasure if knowing her for for a few years however, she bought a smile to my face every time we talked. She cared about all the children she helped and would go the extra mile in everything that she did. The service was wonderful and my thoughts and prayers are with your family. Stephanie will be greatly missed.

I once heard a pastor say that you don't have to like God's decisions, but you still have to trust him. That just about sums it up for me now. So hard to grasp that Stephanie is gone. My heart hurts for her family and my sister Kim. They were life long best friends. Steph may you rest in peace. Hug my Mom for me as well as everyone that has gone on.

May you find comfort in God's word and in the God of all comfort during your time of loss.

I cant believe the Lord took another Angel. Stephanie I had not seen you in many years but you were never forgotten. I remember all of the sleepovers we had as children and I can only imagine the amount of lives you touched and changed as a Social Worker in Chicago and Cincinnati. Your light shines bright and I will miss you as we all will!!
