Dear Steph,
It is so very hard to find the words to say how much I love and miss you. You have always been so much more than a niece to me. You are my friend and have always been there for me when things weren't going so well in my life. While I am angry with God for taking you from us so early, I also believe this is his way of rewarding you for being the special person you are. (Yes I said "Are" because I know your still here) Your generosity and love that you share with everyone has earned you a place in heaven. That doesn't mean you are far away and I am sure you will be there every day to watch your babies grow into women you can be very proud of. We will see you everytime we look at them. I am sure there will always be those subtle little hints to mom that you are there with her watching them grow. Your smile will be thought of everyday, that little giggle you have will be heard often and I will miss you deeply until I see you again.

Love always,
Uncle Jim

I am Jacobs Cousin. I have met Stephanie a several times throughout the years. She was always talking about her girls. Steph was a feisty woman. I think that's why I liked her. She seemed wiser than her young age. She experienced a lot during her time here on earth. God must have allowed her those experiences knowing he would be calling on her early. My condolences to her family and her girls.

All her pain and suffering is over, her every restless night has passed; she has gone home to be with God in Heaven, and to be at peace forever, at last.

My thoughts are with you at this time of need. Words can not express the sympathy our little "family" at daycare feels for your entire family. Ashley and Paige are very fortunate to have a family that is as loving and caring as your is. May God Bless You All!!!

Sincerely,
