Brian Deloatch & Family,
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why "Stephine" left this earth so soon, or why she left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that she died, but that she lived. And that her life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

May the peace of God be with your family!

Dear Deloatch Family,
I am truly saddened by Stephanie passing. Stephanie was more than just a friend; she was an amazing person. She was always so kind and considerate to us that we always welcomed seeing her at every opportunity.
Her passing will not only leave a void in children & her family lives, but in the hearts of everyone who knew her. Stephanie's memory will always remain deep within my heart.
Deepest Sympathy, Sherima"Ree" Miles
