My parents, sisters and I are so sorry to hear of Star's passing. I have alot of fun memories of growing up on Wakeling Street with Star, Debbie and Robin. I can still remember playing in your basement and "camping out" in your backyard. Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Star's passing. i am also a member of 250 and though I last spoke with Star at graduation 15 years ago, there is always that Central bond. Please know that you will be in my prayers continuously. May God grant you the strength to handle this extremely painful time. If I can assist you in anyway, please don't hesitate to ask.

I first knew Star from nursery school at Saint James and again met up with her at Central High School. She was always funny, thoughtful, and generous. Regrettabley we had not kept in contact over the years, but I will miss her dearly.
Having just lost my mother this past summer, I know there is no solace in losing someone, especially a daughter. But I also know Star will always be around those she loved. My sincere condolences and prayers to her family and friends.

Dear Star,
I read what you posted about your daughter and your way of dealing with this horrible situation. I know that there aren't any words, actions or anything that can console you and your family. I just want you to know that me, my family and my parents are thinking of you all and if there is ever anything that you need, you can always call us. I really hope that time and your many memories can help this get easier for you all. My sympathies and thoughts are with you.
Love, Denise DeNardo Raskay and Family

Star will always be a part of our lives. Her memories will make us smile. She was the most unique individual I have ever met and she made me a better person for just knowing her. I will always be here for your family and hope to never lose touch. Star wouldn't want us to cry but to celebrate her life so here's to Star may she brighten the heavens.

I only knew Star via the internet - we both worked for the Shiny Media company and had a little contact through that work. She always seemed vivacious, kind, intelligent, witty and a wonderful writer. Her sudden death was a huge shock and I want to send my condolences to all her close friends, family and boyfriend. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'd adored and respected and admired Star practically from our first meeting back at Central. She was always a touchstone for me in those days, and continued to be so for several years beyond our graduation.
We'd stayed in touch intermittently over the years, most recently last month, when reunion plans were bringing me back to the area. We didn't get together as I had hoped, but I choose to believe that she knew I would have if I could.
Now, my heart, though it aches with missing my friend, goes out entirely to her family...my thoughts are with you, and I hope that the knowledge of the joy that Star brought to so many people in her life will afford you a small measure of peace.

I'm so sorry to hear that Star is gone. I was a friend of hers in high school, and we had fallen out of touch, regrettably. The last time I saw her was in Pittsburgh in the December of 1993, I think. She was in college there, junior year, and had come to a choir concert when my college choir was on tour. She was generous and sweet, and seemed happy to be in touch.
Since I learned of her passing, I have read through pages and pages of her blog, and my heart aches all the more, reading about her verve, wit, creativity, sarcasm (oh her sarcasm!), passions, and most of all, her love of life. I'm sorry to have missed it, and I'm sorry that you have lost her. She was well-loved.

I am so stunned to hear of Star's passing. It is just too shocking for words. Star and I worked together for 3.5 years at Penn Care, until last February. We always lunched together and discussed a great many things. She always spoke of her parents, grandmother, sisters, brother-in-law and nephew with so much love. She was the best kind of friend that you could have. She was a great listener. She was also the eternal optimist, and that brought out the best in people. Even after a really hard day at work, she could see the positive in a person or situation, and it always made you stop and rethink the situation. Some of my most cherished memories though of Star will be her great laugh, and witty sense of humor. I once asked her what the C in her middle name stood for. When she told me Christine I laughed because she had such a unique first name, and ordinary middle name. I would tease her especially in email and call her Chrissy. True to form, and always witty, she retored back in email by calling me Janet (you see her reference to Three's Company). It became a standing joke between us, and we would email this way to each other especially when seeing if the other one of us was ready to go to lunch. I often drove Star home from work. She was the type of person that you could feel comfortable with sitting in silence and your own thoughts, or in active conversation, or just bopping around to the tunes on the radio. When she loved a song she would just light up and become even more animated and start to sing in the car. Star was always very thoughtful, and I will always cherish her gift to me from her trip to Japan. I keep it on my desk and always get many compliments on my Japanese sandal trinket box, which has a mirror on the inside. I will think of Star each time I use the mirror, which is almost every day I am at work. She was not only a great person and friend, but an intelligent woman in so many ways. She was always willing to help me by writing an introduction for my daughter's pageant or by just showing me something on the computer. I used to ask her for computer help by activating the bat phone. I used to joke with her and say can I still call the bat phone from my new position at Penn? I am so happy that I had a chance to visit with her in October. She looked wonderful and truly happy. We had a great conversation about Rhys and all of her blogging, although I really had limited knowledge of what she meant, but had hoped that she could teach me. Now I no longer have the chance to learn from this great woman. I will miss her dearly, and wish all the best to her family and closest friends. I hope that Rhys grows up knowing just how wonderful his aunt was and how much she loved him.

I was a great friend and fan of Star's at Central HS (250). I was happy to check in with her again earlier this year and catch up a bit. She was a bright light.

I met Star when she was my niece's bridesmaid (Amy McClenahan) this past April. It was a short meeting but left a lasting impression on me. You could tell that she lived life to the fullest and loved her family and friends. I was so happy to know that Amy had such a wonderful friend. I feel that she touched many lives in a special way. it was a pleasure to have met her.
