I´m still in shock. I can´t believe your not here. You were such an amazing teacher even though you weren´t my teacher when I was a student at Twinbrook, I was still very close to you. I miss you so much you don´t even understand how much I miss you. I´m sad I didn´t get the chance to see you before you passed. Just know you were the best 5th grade teacher I ever had.
xoxoxo,
Ashara

She always valued family and she made everyone in her life feel as if they were a part of her family. Her memory will always live on through Nora and Austin.

When I think of Stephanie, I see her huge smile. She showed amazing determination and resilience as she battled her illness a few years ago. She didn't focus on her troubles. Stephanie always asked "how are you? how's your son?" and showed genuine interest in her students' well-being. I always loved chatting with her and appreciated how much she loved her students. She gave herself to teaching and to being a loving mom. We will remember her with great fondness and gratitude for her positive energy. May her memory be a blessing to all.
