Many years ago, Stephanie did quite a bit of sewing for my daughter and me. She did a beautiful job on a flower girl dress for my daughter. She was sure a talented lady, and was always so nice to chat with. I am so sorry to read about your loss. May God and your memories be a comfort to you during this time of grief. You will be in my prayers.
