Stephanie and I shared dorm rooms and a post college apartment together. She was filled with grace, compassion, curiosity, and all things good and honorable. She truly blessed my life, bringing a sparkle and joy to daily life. Wishing each of you precious to her a special peace, as we shared a life with someone truly beautiful.

We were close friends in college--she was literally the first person I met, first day on campus. My condolences to the family.

My cousin is remembered mainly during her younger years, when we played together. Her optimism and enthusiasm for life and laughter even then made any room or surroundings brighter.

I met Gene and Stephanie some 30+ years ago when they moved next door to us on Duvall Street. They were a lovely couple and I could not have wished for better neighbors. Stephanie was friendly, kind, helpful, generous, full of joy and interests.

One of the reasons that made me sad when we moved from our house...

My parents, Walter and Erika Rybeck, were close friends of Stephanie's parents, Paul and Shirley Green. Walter and Erika greatly appreciated Stephanie's friendship and attention during their retirement years. I was only with Stephanie and Gene on a few occasions. But each time, I was struck by Stephanie's warmth, intellect, kindness and generosity. If we had our way, people like Stephanie would live forever. Our memories of her certainly will and they will inspire us to be more like her.
