Stephanie Huffaker

Lindy,
I was out of town when Guy called me...having read about Stephanie in the paper. I was shocked, and very saddened that I wasn't in town to attend her service. I hadn't seen Stephanie for a few years...not since the last time we just happened to meet at a restaurant. So I wasn't even aware of her illness. I am so, so very sorry for you and all of your family...especially her son, Chase. Each time I saw Stephanie, she would talk about him. I know she was a wonderful mother. I...

Dear Chase: I only learned through an old Camarillo acquaintance of your mother's passing last night and remain so stunned and saddened today. Your mother and I were great friends in our early twenties and spent several years joined at the 'hip'. We have kept in touch now and then through the years and I feel so sorry that I wasn't aware of her recent struggles and been able to be her friend again through these years as well. I just loved Stephanie so very much over the years. I am so...

Dear Chase,
It broke my heart to hear that your mom had passed away last week. We first met the both of you in 2004 when you were on our AYSO U10 team called the Falcons. You must have been only 9 years old but already was showing us how much you loved to play soccer. Then, every Saturday for the past five years, we would see you and your mom out on the soccer field all day long. She would set her chair out right in the middle of the action and support your love of being out on that...

Dear Chase,

I met your mother when you were only ten months old. You were the apple of her eye. Though we later lost contact, when we ran into each other years later you were the main topic of discussion. Just know that she loved you with all of her heart and is forever watching over you. My prayers go with you and your family during this very difficult time. May God provide you with the peace that passes all understanding.

Dear Chase,
I am very sadden to read about your mom's passing. She was an amazing person. And loved you dearly. I know she will always be proud the amazing kid that you are. Just know she will be always watching over you, with a smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Chase- I am so sorry you have lost your mom to such a terrible illness. My mom (RaNae's sister) died when I was about your age and it's a terrible thing to have to go through at such a young age, let alone any age. Please know how much your mom loves you. I can remember before you were born how much your mom longed to have a child of her own. I know you will miss her but she will always be with you and by your side. God bless you and your family in this difficult and tragic time. Love...

Dear Chase, Tanya, and Jack,

My heart goes out to each of you in the loss of Stephanie. Chase...you are the true reflection of what a wonderful mom you had. From the moment I met you I was impressed. She will be forever watching over you and be proud of who you are and the man you are growing into! "Friends" are the key to our success in life. Tanya and Jack...she had both of you! Thank you for being there for her. Amazing people you are for giving her such support and comfort...

Dear Chase,
We cannot seem to find the right words to tell you how deeply sorry we are that your mom lost her battle. She will always be remembered as a dedicated mom, friend and one terrific soccer mom! Her dedication to you and all she came in contact with in soccer is truly amazing. Her kind words and guidance will be deeply missed, however treasured by me personally Chase. She is and will always be an inspiration to me as well as to many she touched in her life. I wish for you only...

Dear Lindy and Greg:
I was shocked to read of Stephanie's passing in the paper today. I am so sorry for your loss. It has been so many, many years since I have had contact with your family but I have never forgotten all of you. You guys were a big part of my life growing up. I hope that your memories of Stephanie keep a smile on your face during this difficult time.
