Tiffany, I only saw you when you were a tiny tot so I know you won't remember me, I saw Josh in 2010 when I came for SC to visit you dad, who is my uncle. I also met your mom at that time. I am so sorry for your loss. I know she was a very nice respected lady. My prayers are with you, Josh and the rest of the family. There are no words to comfort you. You just continue to be the young lady as your mom taught you, and be strong for Josh and become the lady she raised you to be. God bless you all.

Stephanie made you feel like a better person because you knew her. She was a strong, caring, loyal and true friend, and will be sorely missed. We were neighbor's on Madison Road (early 90's) and got back in constant touch again in 2010 after we both were diagnosed with Cancer. I drove out to see her in 2014 and got to spend two nice afternoons with her walking down Memory Lane. May her family, friends and co-workers find peace during this terrible time. She really was the BEST!
