I remember that when I would visit her she would be totally engaged with me. She gave love with every word she said. Aunt Stephanie showed me her whole house. She was so proud of it. Her Dining Room table and chairs were a treasure. On one occasion when Uncle Matt was still there, she showed me his bedroom and he was in his bedroom. I should have gone in and hug him and tell him how much I loved him. What a wasted opportunity. Love you both.

She was my Aunt. The was the best cook and baker. She could do anything. I loved her so much. Uncle Marty was my hero. He carried me around when I was a toddler and sang to me. I did not realize how much I was would miss them. I hope we will share some time Again .

Dear Mark, Paul and family,

So sorry for your loss. I will always remember Aunt Stephanie fondly. I am so very grateful that I asked for some of her favorite recipes over the past couple years and will always think of her when I prepare them. Love, Linda Adelman
