Dear Rick and Family,

I hope it is comforting to know that so many people share your sense of loss. Stephanie and I worked together for many years and she was always there to help me during her busy day. We both always got a kick out of the Far Side calander and would share with each other what we thought to be the funniest days. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Rick and Family,

I'm deeply sorry for your loss of Stephanie. I've worked with Stephanie for a number of years at Prudential and Wachovia Securities. I'm thankful to have known her. I was very impressed by her dedication to her work even during her struggle with the disease early on. I'm also grateful for her generous donations to support my breast cancer walk during the last few years. I know her spirit and her big smile will always be with you and those whose life she had touched. I'll miss her.

Best Regards,
Catherine

My condolence to Rick and the Heffron family. I am very sorry for your loss. I have known Stephanie and Rick for many years,along with her sister Mary, when we all worked at Prudential Securities many years ago. I remember when she and Rick started dating and got married. Stephanie was an avid reader and was loved by everyone she met and worked with. I will always remember Stephanie as a bright and beautiful young lady, with a beautiful smile.

It breaks our heart to have to say good-bye to Stephanie.We were with she and Rick when they exchanged vows in Saratoga 24 years ago and have spent many good times with them since. Our daughters remember her as the nice beautiful lady with very long hair. Stephanie was one of the most wonderful people we have ever known--kind, loving, respectful, tender; in short just a beautiful human being. Our heart goes out to Rick, Stephanie's family and her friends.

Rick and family,

My deepest condolences on the loss of Stephanie. You should know that Stephanie was a significant and much loved part of our professional family. She stood out given both her loyalty and excellence in her role, and more recently, for the courage she showed during her personal battle with cancer. She will be missed.

Dear Rick and Heffron Family,
I am so so sorry for your loss. I worked with Stephanie for many years at Prudential Securities,Wachovia,and Wells Fargo. She was a steady force in a very unpredictable business – always dependable, knowledgeable and professional – not to mention kind and beautiful. I could go to her and know that she would always get back to me quickly with all the right answers. She was someone you could count on to help in any way and in any situation.
She also brought a love of reading to our office. She was instrumental in starting a lending library among co-workers. And every time I see those books in our office’s kitchen area I think of her generosity, enthusiasm and beautiful smile.
My deepest sympathies to you and your family,
Jeanne Lavin

Our condolence to Rick and the Heffron family. We are so sorry to hear the loss of Stephanie. She was the most amazing person I had ever met. I got a job at Prudential Securities and Stephanie and I grew close to each other. Then the company moved to another location and Stephanie would get off Bart on one end of the platform and I would get off on the other. We both would look in each others direction and Stephanie would waive both her hands with a huge smile. We would start our day by talking and just catching up on our way to work. I will never forget her beautiful smile and will miss her forever.
