My dearest sister, the grief in my heart is totally overwhelming. I know that when Jesus the Christ comes back our souls will meet at at the Pearly Gates and God the Father will say well done my good and faithful servants. Even though I am hundreds of miles my doctors say I can not travel but Chauncey and the children you know I am with you. Stephen and I have been together as friends and sisters for over 30 years. I will remember all the great times we shared, like when I was moving and the deep freezer fell on us and all the holiday dinners I cooked and we share. Sister go a head and slumber u deserve the rest. When Jesus comes comes back to the dead in Christ shall rise and those who are alive shall be changed and called up to meet him. I promise I will see you in the rapture one sweet day. This song comes to my heart when I think of you..."There's a sweet sweet spirit in this place and I know that it's the spirit of the Lord. There are sweet expressions on each face and I know that it's the presence of the Lord. Sweet Holy Spirit Sweet Heavenly dove stay right here with us feeling us with your joy....and joy is what I feel when I think of you you Are Steph.....without a doubt we know to that that we will be revived and meet in this sweet place. I love you and truly truly miss you. I know how much I loved you Steph, but I know God loves you more. I just know Godis ggoing to say to you well done well done my good and faithful servant. Signing off for now Steph, but we will see each other one day soon. Love you as I effectionately called you "Louise"

Mrs. Stephanie,
How can this be possible? I am so heart broken. Not only were you my supervisor, you were my friend. The time we had was way too short, the love for your family and friends... The way you taught and showed us all life is way too short to waste on things that don't matter. I will forever hold you in my heart, until we meet again I promise Heaven will have the best potluck they have ever had. I won't say goodbye, but see you later Love,
Karen

Mrs. Stephanie,
I can't believe I am writing this, I wish it were a dream and I wake up. I started working at the ymca and we were just Co workers. What soon turned into a friendship that I will forever cherish. I will never forget the times we shared, all of the fun times we had planning fun things for our kids, the love you had for all of us is something I will miss so much. Through the drama, the struggle, and good times and bad you had a way of showing us all what is truly important in life. That it is way too short to waste. I love you Mrs. Stephanie, your family, and your wonderful boys. I will forever have you in my heart, and I will miss you dearly. My heart is broken, I can't believe this. You have left us way too soon. We will meet again Lucy, and heaven will have the biggest potluck dinner they have ever had. God has no idea until he has tasted your banana pudding. May you be at peace and I love you so much. Until we meet again,
Love , Karen
