Stefanie you were my very first friend at Arvada. I didn't know anyone and you were there to make me smile and help me. I will never forget your kindness and friendship,or your beautiful face.Words fail me at the moment to describe what you truly meant to me but I know you struggled and I am sorry that I wasn't a good enough friend to you to recognize that. I know your family is hurting and I am praying for them.

Stef, I cant believe you're gone. It breaks my heart to know the last time I seen you it was at my dads funeral and that was a day I was glad you were there. You were sick and went out of your way to support me and my sister. You always thought of others and were sarcastically compassionate. I will miss you more than you know, Rest easy beautiful lady. I love you.

Stefanie always had the brightest smile and though I only saw her at the holidays, she always gave me a big warm hug. It was such a loving thing to do. My heart hurts for her family. What a loss for them, but the angels have a new friend. May she finds peace with them.

I am so very very sorry to the entire family. I am praying that God will hold you in the palm of his hand and give you peace and comfort and you work through the grief and loss you feel. She is no longer feeling the pain and is watching over you now. I am here for you if you need a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen or two helping hand. Love you.
