I just read about Stephanie (Internet) while doing research for a book about growing up in Pittsburgh.
As a long retired writer, former computer systems engineer, and a former Pittsburgher, I would like to offer my condolences to Stephanie's family and my admiration for a life well lived.

It's been a rough year Steph, and I have been thinking of you a lot. Today I will celebrate your life, and all of your amazing accomplishments. I will not be sad, as you wouldn't want that. You were such an inspiration to so many people and the precious time that everyone had with you will be cherished for eternity.

Hey Mom I want to let you know I love you and miss you I'm getting a tattoo for you today I think you will love it I think about you every day miss and love you
September 11, 2014
4/19/14 and 9/11/01, days I will live to regret forever for not being there!!!
I think of you every single day! But this day always stirs up regret I will carry with me forever. 13 years ago today I woke up bright and early to continue packing my suitcases and I was so nervous to catch a flight the next day (you know I HATED to fly), but yet so excited to come visit you and Skyler. Within an hour or so I was unpacking my suitcases because of the events that had happened and there was no way I was getting on that plane the next day, I was too petrified to get on a plane anytime in the near future. Today I think of you because the memory of this day will haunt me for the rest of my life. Regret is something you can NEVER get back. To live with regret is awful. But yet September 11th comes every year and it is a reminder of a decision I selfishly made as you, Jason and Becher tried to talk me into changing the flight arrangements for a later date that month instead of cancelling all together. I refused. So many days, so may memories remind me of you. And I thank God for the abundantly full days on earth I had with you. And the memories and times I spent with you. But I will always be irate at myself for the decision to not visit you at that time, due to my insecurities and fears. There could have been even more memories that I created with you that could live in my heart forever. But instead there is regret, to myself, but also to Becher who I feel my actions impaired on her time and memories with you by refusing to go later that month, one trip we did not do, and time spent with you. Had I known then how very precious my time with you would have meant to me one day, I would have taken 50 flights with layovers to get to Florida, just to have the memories we definitely would have created on that trip, the time I would have spent with you and Skyler.
But this year is a little different on this day. I have always realized my selfish decision to not make this trip and how it effected me and Becher, and I live with that but this year I realized not only myself and Becher were effected but Jason also. I had no idea how much he loved you. When we found out last year we were expecting a boy we began discussing names, within an hour he had said to me Stephan, I like it a lot, he could be named Stephan after Stephanie, or how about Skylar, or one of those for a middle name, one of those as a tribute to her. I cried instantly, as he proceeded to tell me how much he missed your contagious laughs, your long telephone conversations with us, your stays at our house, how the next morning you would wake up still with a red tongue from the cranberry vodkas and shots of Firewater, and just the craziness that surrounded you and how when we were with you we literally lived for that moment because in seconds you never knew what was gong to happen. He misses the carelessness you brought out of me. He continued talking about the fun times we had and my tears turned into laughter. I wish you to know the impact on people you had, the love that many of us still have for you and the laughs we still share with you!!! The birth of my son this year has changed my life for the best but its complete chaos and Jason says that chaotic-ness reminds him of the way I acted when I was with you, no cares in the world! I want you to know that many people think of you every single day. I know you are enjoying yourself in a much better place, and you are forever young ----I wish you had an Iphone in heaven, until we meet again and we make up for all the lost times, I love you!!

A scent, a place, a song, are among many things that can break me down in a minute. Ironically those same things can make me smile and even laugh reminding me of times we spent together. Today I refuse to cry, and it is near the end of the day and I am going to make it, because you are by my side. Thank you!!! The first time in 8 years. I MISS YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! I hear that Skler and Chris are doing a great job and I am sure they will agree that you have some part in that.
8 years ago when I called my Gram and told her of your passing, she asked me to recite 2 prayers whenever I think of you, and 1 of those was the Irish Blessing, like many other nights, you will hear me saying it. Till we meet again!

Skyler,
It is so nice to see how wonderfully you've grown up. Your mom is watching over you and so proud of you. I just was out visiting with your grammy in burgettstown and I got to see photos of you and hear all about your guys trip to Washington DC. Know that you are very special and thought about a lot by everyone who has known your mom. You are very loved.
Steph,
I love you and miss you as always. Thanks for always giving me strength when I need it most. You are my guardian angel!

You are my inspiration because you lived life to the fullest! I try to embrace life with a positive attitude & be more like you "a fly by the seat of my pants" kind of girl!! I miss you today as I do everyday, just one day closer to seeing you. I have a B52 with your name on it - LOL!! Happy Birthday my friend!! I love you!!!

February 13, 2008
so, i am finally getting married Steph! You would love him, i know it! Saturday night, Audra had a surprise shower for me, it was so nice! Everyone was there, well, almost everyone.... it's always so great to get together with old friends that you haven't seen in so long, at the same time, it's so hard because you always know that someone is missing at the table. You made sure that i was there when you got married.... i can promise you that you will be there for mine.....

The remember whens.... ALWAYS get me! I couldnt dare tell any on here - you know exactly what im talking about. You called me that day before and I didnt call you back figuring I could just call you later that next day, I never had the chance and IM SORRY I didnt take your call. Steph may you rest in peace and all your worries be forgotten. You are my angel until we meet again. Can you please tell Joe I love him and miss him and could use some guidance - thanks

February 19, 2007
steph i miss you. At times I feel like this pain will never go away, but then I remeber things, like reading this someone wrote about the pumkins-----it took us all night to collect them, we put them everywhere, at people's houses, at the high school, we threw them in the back of his red truck for hours----and we laughed----AND I STILL LAUGH!!!!!! I love you........you keep looking after all of us. Ooh and by the way the pink pants-----I forgive you!

Hey Girlie! I miss you so much!!!!! I cried the other day when I realized what day it was. I haven't been the same since you left me. Your the only one that could ever understand me. With our b-days being a day apart.We were so much alike in alot of ways. I just wish I had the strenght and courage that you had. I still think about you everyday! Why did you have to leave me so soon? I have a huge hole in my heart, and I'm really scared it's never going to go away! Skyler is growing up wonderfully! We are all so proud of him. I just wish I could see him more often! But, I will allways keep in touch with him and do whatever I can to help him, whenever he needs it. Don't worry about him he is in good hands. I went and checked it out myself a while back. He (just like you) has so many people that love him. How could they not? Im sure you know all this allready. I love and miss you ( my little sis)! And tell my dad I miss him too and to stop flirting with you! LOL! I will talk to you more in my prayers.XOXO

I know you are watching us all and seeing your son grow to a fine,funny smart, little guy.Hes my heart Steph, so please watch over me and help me get thru this,so I can live to see him grow up. If you have any pull up there put in a word for me and tell the Big Guy,I'm not ready to go yet.I'll fight from down here and you can help me up there. I love you and miss you....Barb

Hi Steph,
Just thinking of you. I just want to say thanks for helping me with all my prayers.
January 26, 2006
Hey Steph, I think about you often and it is still so hard to realize why. I don't think I will ever understand or accept it. Nate and I went to dinner here in Orlando. It was so nice to see him after all these years. He talked about you all night. We laughed alot and felt choked up at times. We all miss you so much. Amy misses you dearly. I tell myself that you are still here with us all.

Hey Steph
I talked to Nate yesterday. My birthday is coming up next week, the big 32, and i wanted to make sure that he would be able to get together with me to celebrate just the way we used to. Ironically, he was in Tampa visiting some of your friends. He really misses you as all of us do. The Holidays are so hard, not that i don't think of you every day of my life, but Christmas was when you always came to visit and it's hard knowing that i won't be seeing you again this year. It's amazing sometimes, i will be going about my day and all of a sudden something will make me think of you, something that someone is wearing, a certain scent or a song on the radio. Most of the time it makes me smile but sometimes i just need a good cry. I know you wouldn't want me to be upset but lastnight wasn't a good night and i just broke down. I miss you terribly Steph, would give anything to just hear you yell at me in your cute little impatient way that used to drive me crazy! I just wanted you to know that i'm better today and I promise to try and not get so upset the next time a thought of you crosses my mind........

Steph, it has been a long time since I looked at this, since I talked to your mom, since I visited you, I can't it hurts too bad. One time me, Jason and Lea stopped out to see you. They let me alone with you, to talk to you, when I went back to the truck Lea was crying hysterically, I said, "What is wrong", she said, "I heard you talking and crying, it hurts me to see you like that. You are sooo hurt and there is nothing I can do for you, I wish I could." But I guess I am getting stronger, I am writing today, thats a step, right, right. I went to your "Little Man's" football game with Nate a few weeks ago. He looks just like you, I never realized that, I only saw Chris but now that you are not here all I see is you. I miss you so much, words can't express. I say to Jason, when will it stop, when will I not cry. There was so much in life you were supposed to go through with me. I had to write today because I am having Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year--for me, Jason, Mom, Dad, Sue, Tony and Mark--the first time ever. I am kind of nervous---you know I am doing it kind of how you did in FL for your family---someone else is cooking the turkey, Jason is picking it up at 3. Kind of cheating, but I remember you told me how to do it---it better work out! Watch over me. I still hear your voice when you would call me,......"Aud" I miss that - I LOVE YOU
October 25, 2005
Steph, it still seems so surreal that you are not physically here, but I know your spirit is. I think of you often and sometimes cry and laugh when I think of our times together in Pittsburgh, Tampa and Orlando. I am so fortunate to have met you. You have always inspired me with your determination. Even back in the day when we were in high school shopping for credit. YOU GOT A DINNING ROOM SET. I'll never forget that. I remember the time, when Colleen and I got lost in Tampa - I backed your car into a pole and had to mail you the paint. I have a picture of Skyler and Dominique on my refrigerator. They were both wearing long t-shirts and only three and four then. Skyler had a bag of Doritoes in his hand. I really miss you and my heart will always be touched by how caring you were. You were always so down to earth and like you've told me before, "I'll never forget where I came from." Continue to watch of Skyler, and Chris. Love you.

Happy Halloween Steph!!!!! I will never forget the 30 some pumkins you & a friend put inside my fence. It`s not like I didn`t get him one but, she got him soooon many. The thing is, it took her & my son about 2 days to curve all those pumpins. (she promised to do it & she did) she always stuck to her word. I love & miss you lots. Thats why I know she was a great mother to Skyler. God bless your family & everyone else who cared for you.
September 23, 2005
If anyone has any pictures of her. Could you please put them up. I haven`t seen Stephine in about 3 years. If you guys are going to talk about her so well, please put some updated pictures of her.I only have pictures of her in high school. I don`t have none of her being in Tampa,We just lost touch over the years. I know she would want me to see, how proud she was of her self & the worderful life she gave Skyler.You know, she is with all of us. Mostly Chris & Skyler. God bless everyone & my thoughts and prayers are with eveyone.
September 23, 2005
I think it is very nice, that I see so many people care. As for everyone she loved & knew, she is with them. I am glad to hear how Chris is taking care of their son. It`s a good thing you won`t let him forget his mom. Keep up the good fatherhood.I just wrote this to let you all know how good of a person she was, how caring & I am glad I got a chance to know her. Mostly of all was friends with her.I was a friend that went to school with her & Nate. I hope Nate is doing well & thier father to. Well, as everyone knows Stephanie is very well love & will never be forgotten.

Skyler started the 2nd grade and he is growing up faster than I'd like to believe. He started playing football, and he loves it. He wrote number #26 on his wristbands in memory of his mother.(that was her age when she passed away)He calls them his special wristbands and he believes that when he is wearing them , she is with him. We tried to get #26 jersey but there wasn't any available. The only jersey left was #13 which ironicly is half of 26 and if you think about it, Skyler is half of Stephanie. She is with us everywhere we go, today, tomorrow and forever. .

It's funny that I find a new entry in this guestbook today, Steph...I just happened to pass through Burgettstown on Saturday, and couldn't help to have flashbacks of when you and I ran away to Burgettstown (with my broken ankle and all...). We took food from Celina's house (like we always did), and you FORCED one of our friends to drive us. We thought Burgettstown was 500 miles away from Pittsburgh, like no one could ever find us. On Saturday, I passed the football field that we visited on a different trip there---the homecoming game was going on, we had to check out your old neighborhood and all the girls on court. We all packed into Season's car...with our big hair and even brighter lipstick---we thought we were so hot!!! Just wanted to share a smile with you---it's wonderful that so many people still think of you on a daily basis. I hope whomever is maintaining this guest book keeps it up...it's good to always be able to go to, to remember...

Happy biirthday Steph! Mine is today. And all I can think about is how we use to celebrate them together. And even when we were to far apart to be together, we talked to each other two days in a row (ALLWAYS). I miss you girlie! You were like a little sister to me. Even though you grew up much faster then me. My(OUR)friends keep telling me to stop talking about you. Cuz it is not going to bring you back. But. You know what? It's my birthday. I can cry if I want to.... Love you forever!

May 23, 2005
I know your here, I feel you. your love for him is just as strong now , as it was when you were here. Your love for him knows no boundaries, your always here, I feel you. He loses a tooth, I feel you. His first report card, I felt you. When I was pushing him on his bicycle and I let go, I thought he rode it another 20 ft. by himself, I was wrong, you pushed him that 20 ft. When he fell and I picked him up, you helped me. All the cards he puts on your grave, you read them. I walk him to his school bus, you ride with him to school.Your love for him continues to grow, not even the distance between heaven and earth is able to slow you down.He asked me if I thought you were in heaven? I said, "Sometimes" Why? he said. "Because most of the time she is right here with us." he didn't say another word, it's as if he knew. Nobody will ever understand why? and I know I'm not crazy but I know your still here, I can feel you.......THANK YOU!!!!

I ran into to a friend of yours today at Southside Park and she asked me if I've read your guestbook recently, but I have to be honest I havent.Its too hard.But the funny thing is, that when I ran into your friend, I was already thinking about you. Stephanie and I used to meet in that park all the time to talk about things and go for walks. After I ran into your friend I decided I wanted to share something with everyone who continues to read your guestbook. Its a poem, a poem writen for you by our son Skyler on Mothers Day. I'm writing it just as he wrote it for you, so some of the words are mis spelled. MY MOM by Skyler....My mom was nise, She liked to tock,She always tocked,sometimes she slept,The best thing about my mom was she tok me evrywar. (He also made a picture for his mom with bright crayon- yellow hair ,and a big smile on her face ,which is just the way he remembers her)He misses you so much and he knows your up there watching over him. He is all anyone could ever want in a son..and more. He is an extension of your life, so even though you are no longer with us, if you look into Skyler's eyes, YOUR STILL HERE. Thank you so very much for him, he is my world, as he was yours. We miss you

Happy Mothers Day Steph! Skyler is an amazing boy. He will always do you proud. I miss you and think about you everyday.I'm going to cosmetology school now. Steph! YOU would love it. We get to dye our hair all different colors,cut are hair every week (which I really need to chill on before I dont have any left,facials,ect. And we actually learn something too. If it wasn't for you getting me to come help you open up your shop. I probably wouldn't even thought of it. You have touched and helped so many people in your cut way to short life. Thank you for watching over me. And take of my daddy up there too. I'm sure he loves you!!!
Love you and miss you always!

Hi Steph,
Your Guest Book seems to have turned into a forum for your legacy from the many who knew and cared about you. I am sure if there is Internet Access (High Speed) up there in heaven, you managed to hook it up. I wanted to share with you many of the wonderful things that your family and friends have done in your absence. Skyler is doing great- of course he misses you, but everything I hear is positive about him dealing with the situation and prospering just the way you always wanted. Steps have been taken to assure him the resources he deserves for pursuing his education and his many talents. Your wishes to support scholarships for deserving women have been continued. You should be specially proud of the work you Mother has done to satisfy all of the matters that were open. She has pretty much taken care of everything and has maintained your good name with everyone you worked with. Chris has really done a great job with Skyler and he is enjoying time with family and friends.
We all miss you, but continue to sense your presence. I will keep you informed.

Steph, It's been over year since you left us but it still feels like yesterday. I went to the Conference with your Mom, Audra, and Kim in Harrisburg. It was great. Spending time with your mom and your friends really help. I miss you so much and being around them makes me feel like you are near. I just wish that I could have seen you more after you moved but one day I will get to see you again and we are going to party just like we used too! I miss you and love you. I will always keep you in my heart.

I don't know Stephanie, but was reading the beautiful things that everyone has written about her. What a wonderful person she was. I offer my sympathies to her family and especially to her little boy. I will pray that God sees you all through this difficult time.

Hi Steph
Me and Audra went with your mom last week to Harrisburg to the award ceremony conference. I just wanted to reassure you that some very deserving women received your scholorship! It was a very, very emotional day, but your mom held up like a real trooper, like the strong woman that she is, (I got to see first hand where you got your strength from), while me and Audra cried like big babies, then we laughed about old times because we know you wouldn't want us to be sad! I miss you terribly and I think of you everyday of my life. I keep telling myself that this is going to get easier, but it isn't. I came to see you at the cemetary last week, skyler left you a beautiful card, i often wonder if you know that I am there to visit and if you can hear me, then somehow, i just get a feeling and i know that you are there with me! I just wanted to let you know that we miss you more than you will ever understand.... until we meet again....I love you Steph!

Skyler, I will love you allways. And I always want to be there for you. Stephanie was a wonderful,beautiful,and intelligent women.And if I know Steph, she is watching over all of us allways.

The last two months have been rough. Mother's Day was hard, your birthday was harder. I still can't believe your gone. If it wasn't for our "Little Man", I would not be as stong as I've been. He catches me sometimes crying, he does not understand yet why. I try my best to explain and I know one day he will understand. "He", is what gets me through each day. He is too tough to cry, so I cry for him. He misses his mommy so much... I wish someway, somehow, he could just see you one last time, I know he would give you the biggest hug...and probably never let go. I know your still here with us in spirit Steph, I just find it hard to accept .
Steph having fun.

Where do I start? Stephanie gave me the most precious gift on earth, our son Skyler.I will always love her for that.Skyler will forever know how much his mother loved him.Every evening when I kiss him goodnight, I kiss him twice, and I let him know that second kiss was from me, that first one was from Mommy.I now see Stephanie when I look at Skyler....I draw strength from this and I know she is still with me in spirit, helping to raise our son. I miss you Steph, Skyler misses you too. In fact, he called your cell phone the other day to leave you a message in heaven.The funny thing is...I know you got the message. Love, Christian & Skyler

I send my deepest condolences for your loss. Stephanie had become a wonderful woman, as I was reading the articles about her @women work! I could not help but remember how we used to try and get out of gym class it is devastating that she is gone. It is amazing that crazy Stephanie had became such a strong & successful woman. The amazing odds that she has over come is remarkable. It is a honor to say that I knew her.
