Our hearts broke into pieces a few weeks ago with the loss of our beautiful daughter inlaw, we wish there were words to comfort our son through this time of grieving. We know there are no words that will take away the sorrow and emptiness he must be feeling now. Our hearts ache for him and the children. Although words may seem futile now in their time of grieving this seems like all we have to give. Please accept our condolences as warm hugs to wrap yourselves in and know we are holding you and the children very close in our hearts through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ryan, our grandchildren, Stephanie's Parent's and family. We pray for peace and healing.
Love forever Dad and Lori Rittwage

Stephanie was such a beautiful person, so fun, bubbly, and kind. We used to play basketball together and I remember that she wasn't afraid of anyone or anything. She really was such a strong person, I admired that.
