I was one of Stephanie's friends from Sacred Heart, and later Boston College. Most notably, Stephanie was a kind person, always compassionate. She was bright, gentle, and giving.

I was a Boston College friend of Stephanie's. I remember her as a dynamic artist who majored in History at university. I visited your beautiful home on Center Street many times and Steph visited my in Brooklyn at my Grandmother's after we graduated. RIP, Old Friend ! Bob Wolff

Stephanie was a dear friend from my years at Boston College. I was invited on many occasions to her lovely home in Newton Centre and always enjoyed her Mother. After graduating visited me in Brooklyn and met my grandmother and aunt. I am so sorry to hear of her passing and send my condolences to all her loved ones !

I'm so sorry to learn of Stephanie's death. She was a vibrant presence at my meeting about 20 years ago and we've missed her. I was in charge of the crafts table for our peace fair in 1997 and was lucky enough to buy one of the lovely water colors she donatedpurple iris on a bright, light green background, reflective of her own bright spirit. My sincere condolences to her other friends and family.

I was saddened to hear of your sudden loss. The obituary was telling of what a smart and kind person she was.
