I am sorry to hear of Stephanie's passing. She was one of my students when she was in middle school and early high school. I remember her as being energetic and full of fun.

Please know of my thoughts and prayers. May the special peace and comfort that come from God be with you.

Words can not express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Stephanie and I went to school together at Roanoke Valley Christian. Unfortunately it is during the most darkened times of our lives that we tend to cling to and lean on our Lord Jesus Christ the most. It's my prayer that your family will do so now during this dark time. I also pray that God delivers to you and your family a sense of peace and understanding in regards to this madness. God's plan most often never fits "our" schedules and plans but please understand that his plan is "perfect" and he has devine influence on all events.

Joyce, I am so sorry to hear about Stephanie. I want you to know if there is anything I can do, please let me know. It's been many years since I have seen you, and lived across the street from you. We live in Texas now and I have Chris and Pamela living with me. Tom passed away in 1995. I don't work now, and wish I could be there to help you
