So sorry for your loss of Stephanie. Although we didn't know her well, my wife Arlene and I enjoyed the times we shared with her and Ernesto. We really like her, and she will be missed.

Stephanie, I had limited contact with you, but I know you so well from comments made by your loving husband, Ernesto, throughout many years. Ernesto often spoke of how blessed he is to have such a wonderful and caring wife. Repeatedly I heard of the pride that he had in your achievements and the exceptional marriage that you shared. You will always be a topic of conversation, and your memories will last forever. Condolences Ernesto, your friends, share in your grief.
