Here we are, all these years later, and I still think of you often. You were the coolest, funniest, most amazing, caring, and most beautiful person I knew in high school. We had lost touch after that, but, we found each other a few years later on MySpace, of all the places! You offered to do my hair, and wanted nothing in return. Unfortunately that never happened. You were taken way too soon from this world! But, this current world is not so great, unfortunately. So much has changed since you left here and went home. Where you are is full of love, joy and care. I can't wait to meet you up there some day, then you can finally give me that make over we talked about. Love & miss you lots!

It's been 14 years since you made the journey home. My grandpa passed away a year ago in December. Our pastor talked to him during my Grandpa's last few hours on earth. He told him that "he'll have the best seat in the house, witnessing first hand the angels sweet voices, proclaiming the birth of Jesus!" What a sight that must be! Stephanie save a seat for me. Until we meet again my old friend! Love you

Now that you have passed on to a much brighter and happier side and are now an angel watching down on all of us down here you can now enjoy the good life you were truely meant to enjoy. A pain-free life as well as a life free of worrying about the crazy world around us. Now you truely can sit down and enjoy a good ole drink and listen to your fave cd play. Now your living the good life girl! I want to thank you stef for ansewering my prayer I asked of you the other night when I said please give me a sign that you are up there in heaven above and that you are okay and you did. Yesterday I for some reason grabbed an old diary from 2 years ago and the first page I happened to open to was an entry about how I finally met up with you on the internet after all those years and how we were chatting about our lives and how much time has gone by since we hung out in middle school being the goofs we were. That was the sign that your okay. Thank you Stef! Your such an angel sweetie. I will miss you dearly but I know I can always talk to you anytime and you will always listen. Love ya Stef! God bless!

Dearest Stef, I apoligize for not writing sooner, but I was so angry at GOD, for calling you, so soon from your family...I Know Aunt Florence probably wanted to thank your mom for taking such good care of her,that she wanted to return the favor and now take care of you for your mom...but it still hurts...and knowing u2 ladies your keeping each other in giggles...please don't play too many tricks on all of us, until our feelings of loss have lessened. Your laugh was always so contagious and that sparkle in your eyes always let me know something fun was soon coming. I'm still angry....but I know your no longer in anymore pain and that I guess is a blessing. Help your family find their inner strength and remember those silly stories of when you kids where little....and the fun you had together..Each glance a the stars will remind them your taking good care of them all.Help me to find the courage to see your mom and only use one box of kleenex! love and Blessings to all you've left behind...Keep Dancing!!! Debi

During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.
