Stephanie Rooney

There really are no words, but I will try. Steph was my college roommate and one of my very best friends. I have never had as much fun as the fun she and I had together in college. We were a perfect match in so many ways. Whenever anything amusing happens, my first instict is to share it with Steph. I can't wrap my head around the fact that I can no longer do that. Everything is more fun when shared with Steph. She was a dear, dear friend who I will miss every day for the rest of my life.

I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie at MS 45. She always had a warm smile and welcoming heart. During your time of grief, know that there is an angel smiling down.

Stephanie was simply a delight to know. Her wry smile when we shared a joke, her attention to detail, her insight and perception made her a memorable student. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Stephanie always made me feel at ease and welcome. I spent many holidays with her and her family at their home in Maryland. As a close friend of her brother and sister-in-law, I witnessed the love she and her family have for one another. The same held true for me and for multiple other friends and neighbors- always welcome, day or night. Each of us invited to share their home, their joy, their hearts; everyone made special simply by being together. I thank Stephanie for her genuine ministry...

I had the pleasure of knowing Stephanie when she was in High School. I was one of her Young Life Leaders for 3 years. Stephanie's smile, sense of humor, kindness and inner joy are the things that I remember most. She was one of those rare human beings that once you meet them, you never forget. My heart and prayers go out to her family and friends. She will be truly missed.

Stephanie was one of my earliest childhood friends. I have lots of memories of trick or treating, carnivals and back yard games. Her loss is a shock. I will grieve with her family and numerous friends. But, I also take comfort that "Neenie" is in the arms of her maker.

I am Steve Wilson former roomate of Stephanie in Chicago, for what was only a year. It feels like much more. As someone who has seen Steph only once or twice in the last 4 years, and knowing how much this breaks me up my heart breaks for those even closer to her.
She was such a nice person, it is a grievous wrong that she is gone to us. Such a nice person that I can't believe it.
To her family and parents, who are left with this loss, I can only say that if the quality of her...

I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Stephanie with the testing team at M.S. 45 in the Bronx. I know there are no words that can ease your grief , but I wanted you to know how much Stephanie is loved here and how much she will be missed. There are so many more, both student and staff, but they may not have known how to reach you. I am so sorry for you loss and for the world's loss of her grace.
