Hi Steph, i've been thinking about you a lot. My girls are growing up so fast!! I wish they could have met you! I'm sorry I havent written you in a while. Last time I wrote you was 2008, since then, i've gotten divorced. I have custody of both my girls though. Enough about me, I still cant believe your not here to brighten our days. Sorry to cut it short tonight steph but im at work. I will write again soon. MISS U!!

Hey Steph, this is Sherry. It has been a long time since you've been gone and I just wanted to let you know that I miss you. Days pass and it almost seems that you never exsisted. They say that time heals everything but apparently that isn't true. I remember when you first left I would pick up the phone and start to dial your number only to realize that you were not going to answer anymore. It is still so hard to believe that you are not here. I have never met another friend like you. You were one in a million. You were one of those people that touches someones life. You definately touched mine. Remember all those good times we had together? I remember the first time we met. My dumb was sitting in study hall doing something that was "not required" in school. There you were walking over to my table not knowing what you were getting yourself into. From that day on we were inseperable. I miss driving down the road with you in the passenger seat singing with me and just having the best time together. Nothing else mattered to us. I miss hearing you laugh and seeing you smile. You could light up the room! If there is a place people go when they leave here, I bet you are the light of the room there too. I just hope that whoever is there with you can excuse those belching outbursts! To this day I will dedicate any loud belch to you. I will tell myself to ignore those opinionated people with no sense of humor. There is always some tart in the bunch right? I'm sorry I don't go to your resting place. You know me, I feel like I'm talking to myself because I am unsure that you can hear me there. I guess I won't know that for sure right now. I don't go to my Moms either. By the way, is she there with you by any chance? If she is don't give her to hard a time ok? I remember you used to speak whatever was on your mind and my mom would look at you like you were crazy. That is another thing I miss about you. Remember how we would just say what we wanted and just not give a hoot what anybody thought? People must of thought we just came out of the looney bin! Like I said, I have never met another person like you and I know that I never will. I am so grateful for the time we did have here together and I wish that things didn't have to turn out like this. It's just not fair. I guess it's something that we will never have the answer to. So, for now I will end this and I'm sure I will write again. Until then, you take care, wherever you might be. Please try to contain yourself up there! I miss you and will never forget you.

Hey steph, I can't believe it has been 6 years already. I miss you so much. This year has not been good for me either, I have had 8 friends die since June of this year. I lost two in on night in a helicopter crash at work. I'm sorry things never worked out for us and that I never got up there to visit. I miss talking to your mom and hope your family is doing well. Gotta go for now sweetheart I will write again soon. Love you!

I'm sorry i haven't written yet
I think of you everyday
I still look for you everywhere I go hoping it was just a dream
But its not, and you are now shining down on all of us from heaven
As i close my eyes, a tear rolls down, and i see your smiling face
I hear your laugh, my frown turns to a smile
And i remember all of your clumsy and quirky ways
Your love for Tyson Beckford, dolphins, and an overabundance of mayonnaise
You will never be forgotten
The memories always racing through my mind
I hold them so close to my heart
You are my best friend, my angel standing by my side
I Love You and Miss You Stephanie
Light a candle, it'll help remind you of your time together on earth and as the flame flickers remember her kindness, her goodness, and her one in a million smile. With this candle know that her memory cannot die and as you see her sweet face know that she is an angel standing by.
To Tina, Mike, Kimmy, and Michael, I miss you guys and think of you often.

Hey Steph...
Cant believe its been 5 years. It still seems like it was just yesterday. I just want you to know that you are thought of everyday and missed by sooo many people. You were such an awesome person and i guess its true what they say...God takes the best people young...You Brian Joey Hayley Krystal and my baby (i miscarried but im sure you know that)..the list just keeps going. Well I dont know really what else to say..Just take care of all of them and keep an eye on all of us like i know you are doing... You are so much missed and loved Steph...

Hey Stef,
I know that I haven't written in a while but life has been a whirl wind. With Joe Passing it makes me think of everyone who has passed who I have been close to. I know that when you passed we weren't much on talking terms and over something so petty. Now that I am older and see things a little differently. It makes me regret how I went about things. I am sorry for the things that have happened between us in the past but I still think of you and miss you.
Love You Stef,

Hi Steph, Sorry I have not kept in touch. There have been so many changes in my life that the time has slipped away. I have two daughters (Lauren 3 and Alexis 5). Lisa and I are having a house built is St. Mary's County. It should be done in July. The other day, we were packing and I came across the picture of you and I the night before you left for Maine. I think you were 8?? Anyway, I still fly for the State Police in St. Mary's County (Trooper 7). I wish we could have seen more of each other before you were taken away from us. You will ALWAYS be in my heart and thoughts. I love you and miss you.

Steph,
I can't believe it has been 3 years since you passed away. It seems as though it was yesterday when we would hang out and go to the lake. I really miss you I have days that I just want to pick up the phone and call you to see how you are doing. Then I remember that you were taking away from us way to young. A lot of things have happened since you passed. Clark and I got married and now have a 1 year old girl named Brookelyn Monique Bubar. Kinda funny since I was the one who didn't really like kids. LOL I often wonder how Kane is and if they are making sure that he knows what a wonderful mother he had. I miss those late night talks when we could talk for hours and the sad part is that we really never had anything to say. I just wanted to let you know even thought I haven't written in a long time that I love you and miss you dearly.

Hi Stephanie,
This is just a quick note to let you and your family know that you're never far from the Merritt family's minds. By now you probably know that Dad (Pack) is up there too...look him up sometime. Know that we all love you and miss you.
Love,

Hey Stephanie, it is Justine. It has been a long time since I've talked to you. I know that you and my mother are taking care of each other. After your part of the family's move to Maine, I did not get to see you much. Except for the summer when were 14?, don't think I forgot about how you tricked me into eating a raw scallop! I am still going to get you back for that one :) I know that it has been a long time, but you are very special to me. Whenever I think of my mom, I think of you. When we were very little girls, we were together a lot. Since I did not see my mom a lot, you are an integral part of my early memories of her that are very special and I will never forget.
My life has changed so much and I am sure you are very aware of it and you and my mom have had a helping hand in it every step of the way. I am now a mother to a precious little girl named Kelsi. It is funny, she looks a lot like me and in one of the pictures I have of Kane you can definitely tell they are related even if they are 2nd cousins. I hope someday they will be able to meet and I can tell Kane what a wonderful and special person his mother was.
Ok, well, I have to go. You know that this is about emotional I can get for the next year or so :) I just want you to know that I love you and cherish the impact your presence in my life has been, however short it was.
Love, Justine

Hey sunshine! Its been too long since Ive written to you. We got alot to catch up on. Well as you know Hayley Alley is now up there with you. Krystal Lee Higgins and Randy Perry Jr are also. Ive had my license for over a year now and have ANOTHER car because my first one was junk from the beginning. I know you're not liking the sounds of this but hey you knew I was gonna grow up sometime.. whether you wanted to let me or not. hehe- I dont wear make up really if that helps.. I know you used to hate it when I wore make up and "skimpy clothes"... dont worry I dont do either. Thanx to you. hehe- Im a Junior in high school, dont wanna believe that one either, do ya? Im graduating next year... dont embarrass me that day either. haha- Im turning 18 this July, Stephanie! Wow.. where has the time gone? It flies. Michael lives with mom so it's just dad and I here.. weird huh? Kane is BREATH-TAKING. Takes right after his mommy thats for sure. Everyone says he's getting to look more and more like Michael and I. We can all tell he came straight from you... his mouth never stops. He LOVES talking, like we all know you did. I have been in a serious relationship for over a year now. I know your frowning because Im not supposed to have a boyfriend but he's definately a keeper. Dad, Mom and even Mike approve of him. He knows his role. haha- Well babe I just wanted to update you on some things and make sure you kick me in my butt when I do wrong. We all love you Steph. Let me know your with me sometimes, okay? I love you with all my heart. XOXO -your baby sister-

HEY STEPH,
Well today was really hard for me today. I couldnt stop thinkin about you and Krystal. I dont know why but i couldnt. Just kept thinking why somehting like this would happen to 2 such WONDERFUL sweet and caring people. Still after all these years I still cant believe that you are gone. They say that it is supposed to get easier but I dont think that it is ever going to. I dont think that is something that is supposed to get easier. I just dont know Stephanie. Dont understand much of anything now a days. I started physical therapy the other day for my back :) it went really good im so excited that it might be better someday. So anyways I hope that you Brian Krystal and Jeffery are all hangin out up there having fun;) AND behaving yourselves. LOL well I dont know what else to say. I'll write again soon probably monday to let you know how pt went that day and how much it hurt...lol...talk to ya later babygirl...I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL SOO MUCH :) we will meet again someday.

Well steph we weren't real real close but we were friends. I really do miss you and the day you left us left my heart empty i know how much you loved your son as did you know how much i love my daughter. I wish we could have gotten them together to play skyy would have loved that. Well i avoided this day like the plague i guess i just hurt so much for your family that by writing to you it would hurt me more. But today i thought about you more than usual and had to write to you. I am pregnant again. I know your smiling at the sound of that. You know how much i love kids. I see mike every once in a while and mel hangs out with kimmy sometimes. i will always look out for mike and kimmy as though they were my own brother and sister because i know you would do the same for me. Just know that i love you and miss you and you will always be in my thoughts. To tina, I love you to and i could never imagine the pain you feel all i know is how i would feel if lost my own child, but i guess knowing how you would feel and how you actually feel are to very different things. Well for now good bye and steph until we meet agian i love you. Love Priscilla

My dearest Steph~
You were taken from us so very young..you were there for me through so much...as I was there for you and your family when you needed someone to lean on and a place to go! I cherrish all the memories I have of you...I still have the scar from the fancy little artwork we did on our tummies so many year's ago (I thought for sure your mother and mine would have killed us for that one) ... to me it seems like yesterday when you, and your mom were staying with my family for a week while my mom went to virginia to see phil while he was away...that was one incredible week, we were so close snuff...heck we even talked to each other in our sleep! Your mom said we were carrying on quite the conversation...hehehe, we were just good like that I guess...Not a day goes by that I dont think of you, I read the letter you wrote to me when I moved to new hampshire with mom to be closer to phil while he was stationed in boston...that was a hard day to leave you guys!! I want to say that I am sorry for the bad times, but most of all I want to say THANK YOU for all of the good times, and the happiness you brought into my life with your friendship! You were one of a kind hun, there will never be another like you! I know we will meet one another again...and until then I will miss you! Kiss Randy Jr. for me, and tell him he is loved and missed by many! You to behave yourselves...I will love you forever Snuffy, I will never forget you or the blessings you set upon me with your presence...I love you for eternity and longer-Sabrina
Tina~ I love you and I wish we could speak,, I am always hear for you, I dont know how to reach you..wehn we spoke on the phone that night adn the power went out I havent been able to reach you since...I love you and remember the good times, and the birthda you had with my family...take care of you hun...Love always and forever-Sabrina

My dearest Snuff...
I know it has been so lond since we lost you, I read the letter you wrote to me the day my mom and I left to move to New Hampshire so many year's ago! I can't escept the fact that you are no longer here...you alway's stood out in a crowd! Be it with your beautiful smile, your big bright eyes, or just your awesome personality...I have so many wonderful memorie's of you Snuff...I cherrish each and every one of them! I was in Maine last week, nothing feels the same when I go there anymore...I can't handle the thought of not running into you or Randy Jr. (Im sure you two are up there causing trouble together.. keep each other safe..you are both missed by so many people) Steph, we had so many fun time's together, such as when you and your mother (my second mom) spent that week at my house...she got that three foot sub from subway lol...we had so much fun..you and I slept in moms room cause she was in virginia with Phil....we were so close you and I...we even talked to each other in our sleep...your mom said we talked for hours!! God, I miss you so much...When I heard what had happened to you and Brian, I broke down, I couldn't talk I just went to the store and bought a bottle and drank the whole thing!! You know me, I dont deal well with losing people I love! My boyfriend just sat there with me until I finally told him what was going on! I am so sorry I couldnt make it to say good bye to you honey...you know I love you and I always will, you blessed my life with your friendship...and for that I thank you! Steph~we will see one another again, until then I love you always and forever!
To the family~~ I love you all, I hope you know that, even though we have not seen one another in a while I still think of you often...Tina, I love you!! You are beautiful and I am here if you need me...Please dont ever forget that..I still have a copy of stephs letter to me if you want it!! I love all of you...take care...love always and forever-Sabrina Curtis

Hey Steph,
I know it has been a really long time since I wrote but believe me, you have never left my thoughts, everyday I think of you, you are mentioned alot in our household and alot of people ask who that beautiful girl is when they see your picture on our frig. Just a little while ago we all knew something was up with you watching over at least one of us because everytime I, Chris or one of the girls went to open the frig your picture would fall down, I, Chris, or the girls would always say "yes Steph, I know you are there and reach down and pick the picture up and put you back where you belonged. We never open the frig without looking at you, we have the picture in just the right spot. We all miss you so much. The girls ask about you all the time. The girls love to see Kane. He is so adorable. He is growing so fast. I see so much of you in him. I love you Steph and know you are with us every second of the day. I see your mom, dad, Mike and Kimmy every now and then. They all love and miss you so much. I can't drive by your family home without thinking of all the times I pulled into that driveway to pick you up or drop you off. The times we spent together was always so much fun. We laughed at each other, picked on Chris and laughed at you dancing around our livingroom with one of the girls in your arms. Desiree and Brooke were looking through some pictures a little while ago and came screaming "Mommy, Mommy look at what we found" and passed me a picture and it was you standing sideways in my kitchen posing showing your stomach with a big smile, I think you were about 7 months pregnant with Kane. When I looked at the picture that day came back to me like it was yesterday. Chris took the picture and was laughing and teasing you the whole time about your big tummy. We all always enjoyed being with each other. Desiree and Brooke really enjoyed being with you, they loved and still love you so much. They always say you were their favorite and always with be. I know you love us and are watching over us. We are glad you were a part of our family even if it was for a short time, we would never trade the short time we had with you for nothing, you were a blessing, a true friend, beautiful woman, wonderful mother, and loving daughter and sister. You wore your heart on your sleeve and touched many lives with that beautiful smile and upbeat attitude of yours. We all miss and Love you more than words can express. I will try to get on here more often to write to you but just in case it is awhile before I do I want you to know I think of you everyday and we speak of you often and we are keeping your memory alive. You will never be forgotten. Keep smiling down on us Steph, love you girl!!!!!!!!!

I knew Steph when she was 8yo. She moved away in 1990. From what Tina has told me she had/has the biggest crush on me. I maintained contact with Tina and family throughout the years, I will say there were times that we lost contact, however, we would always track each other down. Tina, Steph, and myself talked about a visit up or down to see each other. But time and schedules would never allow it to happen. Time came and went, and the days slipped into years. There was not a day that went by that I didn't think about Steph or the family. I can remember what I was doing when I received a phone call from my work. I guess I should back up. I am a Maryland State Trooper and pretty easy to find. Well it seems Tina lost my numbers and called several Barracks in the Prince Georges County area to find me. As it turned out I received a phone call from my fried who was a SGT. at the time. He called me in Dec. told me that a friend from Maine was killed in a car accident and that Tina was trying to contact me. It was Christmas shopping at the time and was extremely upset about the news. I called Tina and she told me it was Steph. My heart fell! I could only reflect back to a little girl with glasses sitting on my lap the night before she moved to Maine. I never knew Steph as a yong woman or mother,but from what I hear she was truly great. It wasn't until a couple of days ago that I saw Steph's picture on the web site. The first thing I could think was WOW!! what a beautiful young women she grew up to be. I love Steph with all my heart and I will truly miss her. Kane a day will come when you will wounder about your mom. I can tell you this, she was the best and you were loved by her. I am really sad that I never made it up to Maine to see you guy's. Tina, big Mike, you raised on hell of a woman. Not to discount littlke Mike and Kimmy, because they are great kids also.

Hi baby girl, well it's Superbowl Sunday and not at all the same without you. Especially with this family, but nothing has been the same without you. The special days our family had together are nothing like they used to be without you. Your dad is trying to enjoy today but is having a real hard time as we all our without you. Your dad wants me to say hey what's up or as you know by this time of day on superbowl sunday xygsxzyhi xygsxzyhi and so on and so on. You know what I mean baby girl if no one else does. Kimberly is doing really well with her new license, she has had the car taken once already but since then has done real well. You would be really proud of her, she knows that you are always watching over her and needs to be good. Kane is doing really well and growning very quickly, he has your smile and attitude. Which can be good at times and as we all know bad at times, but we love it anyway. Michael is still working in Ellsworth at Jaspers and getting pretty tired of it, as we know it's a long ride especially in the winter. I just got a call this-morning from Ambers mom Nancy, and as you know Amber is usually with me every weekend and she didn't show last night so I started to worrie about her and sure enough her mom called and let me know she's in the hospital, they removed her appendix late last night. She's doing ok, I'm sure your watching over her so I want you to continue to do so and make sure she's ok and can come home soon feeling better than ever. I love for doing so!!!!!!!! Well baby girl I guess I should go for now we all love and miss you very much and you know that. We will all be together again someday, and I liik forward to that day. Sweet dreams babygirl.

Stephanie Ann Beal was born July 8, 1981 at 6:25 p.m. to Mike and Tina Beal. She weighted 5lbs 13oz. When Stephanie arrived in this world she took her own sweet time[even back then]causing us to endure 38 hours of hard labor. Although the pain was extreme it didn't compare to the overwhelming pain of losing Stephanie last May. We are still trying to cope with the fack that she is not coming back to us. Anyone who knew steph knows what a gift she was. Her beautiful smile would melt your heart.If you needed someone to talk to or listen, she would be there. Steph loved her family and friends, especially her son Kane Michael Lee Beal more than anything in life. When Kane arrived on June 10,2000 her whole life changed.She found the love of her life wrapped up in one little package called her son. Stephanie had high hopes and dreams for the future. At one point she wanted to be the frist woman president, without a doubt, she would have put this country on its heels. Although Stephanies time may have been cut short, she would want all students who read this now and in the future to strive and be all you can be and aim for the stars. So with this we say to Stephanie,we love and miss you more and more with each passing moment. Sweet dreams my daughter.

Hi babygirl, well I will try this for the third day in a row, I don't know what I am doing wrong but the other 2 letters to you have not appeared in your book. I just read a really nice letter that Lacey left you. Babydoll all of us miss you so much. The pain that I feel in my heart today is as bad as it was on that horrible day. So many things will never be the same again, not May 17th, or the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and especially not your favorite day, which is right around the corner. Christmas used to be such a special day for our family, and then when you brought your beautiful son into our lives it became so much fun again. I'm sure you are keeping your eyes on him and know how big and beautiful he has gotten. He's full of you know what just like his mother. Michael and Kimberly are doing good, Kimmie has gotten her first car, which I can hear you giving your dad and I your opinion on that idea right now. Your closest friends still stay in touch with me and your very best friend Amber Colbeth usually stays every weekend with me. We spend so much of our time together talking about you and Kane, also alot of the crazy things we said or did together. I would give my life up right now if I knew it would bring you back babydoll, I wish everyday, every minute that I could here your voice, see your smile, give each other a hug and kiss like we always did. I'm so glad that we never left each other without a hug and a kiss and an I love you, even if we were talking on the phone the last 3 words the 5 of us always say to each other are I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I talk to you everyday as I am sure you know, the pain is the worse there is nothing else in this world that can hurt me more than loosing one of my babies. The only way I get by is holding on to the fact that we will be together again someday. I hope you are keeping my sister and father in line, that job there besides watching over all of us is a handfull. Amber wants to tell you how much she loves and misses you, it's been really hard on her, you two were always together and had so much fun together. She will be writting to you soon, she was by far one of your really true friends. Babygirl I love and miss you with all my heart and soul I just wish that God would give me one wish and I would never ask for anything else again. And that wish would be that you could be in my arms again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU, MOM

Hey Steph, I dont really know what to say...I havent written on here cause it was to hard....This is the first time since May 17 that I have really talked about it I guess is what i am trying to say..I think about you all the time and how God could take you and Brian away from us...I wrote you a letter a little while after you passed away and gave a copy to your mom dad and Kimmy.. They framed one of them and put it on your grave...I hope that you are having a blast up in heaven with everyone.....Tell Jeff Graham that i said hi and that everyone misses him..We all miss you guys and Love you all very much...Cant wait till I see you again...
To Mike,Tina,Mike and Kimmy:
You guys are like my second family...you have been with me through thick and thin....You were the ones that were there when my house burnt down, Especially when Tina brought down the popcorn that wasnt popped and we had no way to pop it cause we had just moved into our new home...lol..and you guys I know will continue to be with me..If you guys EVER need anything just call me and you know that I will be there for you guys...it doesnt matter day or night....I LOVE YOU GUYS...I LOVE AND MISS YOU STEPHANIE ANN BEAL!!!!! you will live on forever in your son...Kane Micheal Lee Beal

Hi, Stephanie. I woke up this morning thinking of you. I think of you often, but for some reason, this morning my thoughts immediately turned to you. I logged onto BDN.com to read your obituary, and saw that there was a memorial guestbook, so here I am.
Last time I we spoke was right before I moved to Texas with Adam, in April 2002. You passed away in May, and I found out that I was pregnant in June. I have a beautiful little boy now, Tyler Brayden. I wish you could have met him...I wish he could have met YOU. I remember seeing you chasing Kane at my wedding and thinking how much I would like to be a mother. I remember you telling me how wonderful motherhood is, even at your young age. You were always a wonderful mother. I hope I will be, too.
I think of you often, Steph. Adam was away at desert training with the Army when we lost you. It was so hard to tell him over the phone. He thought highly of you, also. I wanted so badly to get home for your funeral, but our money situation wouldn't allow it. I thought of you, though, and knew that you would have understood. There are ways to remember you without attending your funeral. I pictured you laughing, telling me to find something else to do with the money I was trying to scrape up to get to Maine.
Adam is deployed to Iraq now. He's been overseas since April 2003 and will be there until April 2004. He's only gotten to spend a month with his son. Please watch over him for me, Steph. Keep him safe.
I love you very much and you are constantly in my thoughts.
Love,
Your friend,
Shannon and family
To your family: I never met you, but I feel like I know you just by knowing Stephanie. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm sure that Kane is getting so big, and I know that he must be beautiful. Through him, Stephanie will live on forever.

Hi Steph,
I'm sorry I haven't written much, but I think of you all the time, I just wanted to let you know that we love you and miss you so much.
It is so hard to believe it has been a year since you and Brian left us. It don't seem real and I guess it never will. I know that you and Brian are together and happy, and watching over Kane and Kota and all of us.
I held you both last night in my dreams, you were both smiling and happy so I know that you guys are alright.
I will close now and write again soon, just wanted to let you know that you are in our hearts and thoughts all the time.
Love Always,

Hey Steph,
It has been a long time since I have written to you and I know that you are watching over me. I have been having lots of problems and I have been really stressed out about college but I know that you are right here beside me at husson guiding me through all the rough times. Words cannot express how much I miss you. Every now and then when I am down all have have to do is think of your bright smiling face and my day seems to get so much better. I know that you and Brian are up there in heaven taking good care of each other and of all of us down here. I am sorry i never told you all i wanted to say but I know that you know I love ya. There will be one sweet day when we will all be together and that is when i will tell you everything. But for now keep smiling and watch over us with that very caring hand that we all know that you have. I love you and miss you so much.
Love, BERTA

Hey Steph,
It's been awhile since the family has written to you so right about now seems like a perfect time. We want you to know not a minute goes by that we don't think about you. Mom says her birthday in Septemeber was awful without you. It was the first time in 21 years without her baby girl(all grown-up) that she had to go through a birthday without you. The 5 of us just wanted to say hi and let you know that we're still always thinking about you, and that our love will never end. By the way the 5th person was your son, Kane. We want you to know that he's beautiful, smart, and growing up so quick. Mom talked to P-nut and Amber recently and they both feel as we do and miss you very much. Mom said to tell you that Emmit Smith broke the rushing record today! GO COWBOYS! We know your still rooting for them. Well I just wanted to say hi and catch up on things with you. We all love and miss you Stephanie.
Love Always, Kimmy, Mom, Dad, Michael and Kane.

To My Beautiful Baby Girl, Stephnie, as I sit here this Sunday evening, I still can not believe that you are not going to walk through our front door with Kane in one arm and the other arm full of all the stuff you used to carry with you. Your father, brother, sister, son, all the many friends you had, and of course still have thinking of you every minute, most of all myself. You weren't just my first born child, or daughter, most of all you were my best friend, my everything. Steph I am so lost without you at times I don't know what to do, or how to go on without you. One thing I have learned to do when I feel lost like that, is to think of you and listen to what I know you are trying to tell me and continue to try and make you as proud of me as I can possibly do. Your father and I, have stopped to realize that even though the lord only gave us 20yrs together, we were blessed to have had those years with you. Until we can be together again Stephanie, you will never leave our thoughts, prayers, and memories of all our goodtimes together. Steph, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL...... SO DOES YOUR FATHER, BROTHER, SISTER, AND SON!!!!!!!!!! SWEET DREAMS BABY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear steph,
As i sit at this lonly copmuter dest reading the things people wrote in here, it brings a flood of emotions to my soul. At 15 i was taking care of Kane and hanging out with you. Damn i miss that, everyday i fight back tears that come to my eyes, i cant help but think of you even in the drop of a single rain drop and now that you are not here, its like a part of me died the biggest happiest and most beautiful part of my sould went right along with you as i lay beside your grave thinking of times spent riding around, at the apartment or even that dreadful day when i was talking to you and brian, i cant help but think well what if i had made them talk to me for 5 or 10 more minutes, could i have prevented this from happening and ruining soo many lives? could i have done that? well i guess hindsight is 20/20 but the future is so unclear, and out of focus. As i type these words tears cloud my vision and its getting harder to think and talk to you... i miss you soo much i dont think you will ever nkow how much you truly meant to me and to my family. I love you girl, take care and watch over me, lord knows i need it...!!!
Love and miss you dearly,

Stephanie, You were a constant and true friend to Amber. I thank you for that. Even though I sometimes questioned Amber as to whether or not you were the "best influence" for her, Amber of course rightfully squelched my fears. One thing I never doubted was your love for Kane. You could be asleep in my car one minute, but as soon as we picked up Kane, your eyes would light up, your million dollar smile would appear, and you'd be playing peek-a-boo with Kane between the car seats. You should feel proud of your efforts Stephanie. Proud of the kind of friend that you were. Proud of your mothering. Proud of the daughter, granddaughter, and sister that you were. Proud of how you touched so many lives and taught so many how a just a smile is all it takes to brighten someone's day. Miss you.

Dear Steph,
Your beauty shines from so deep inside
It is something you can't possibly hide.
It comes from inside and glows on your face
It is warm but sultry, like black silk and lace.
There is no other women quite like you
and I want you to know I have seen a few.
Men sit and stare as you walk in a store.
I think they wish God had made a few more.
Why God chose you I will never know
but, I promise forever my friendship I will show.
Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave,
and impossible to forget.
To the Family,
I know it must be hard on you all,but things with imporve within time.Just hang in there.

From the family of Stephanie Ann Beal, we would like to thank everyone who has cared so much for all of us during this tradgic time in our lives. We have never experienced so much heartache in our lives and can only pray that not one of you will ever have to. We can only wish that from this tragedy everyone will realize how short and precious life really is, also please always do as our family always did, which is never let an arguement keep us from saying I LOVE YOU, WE ALWAYS KISS EACH OTHER AND SAY WE LOVE EACH OTHER EVERY DAY, EVEN IF IT WAS OVER THE PHONE.
Mike and I were very blessed to have Stephanie as long as we did, we will never understand why God decided to take her at this point in her young life, especially with a beautiful young son, but we have to deal with it know matter how much we do not want to. Steph was a very special and beautiful daughter and most protective big sister, she would do anything in this world for Michael and Kim as they would have her. She was our first born child and as she grew Mike and I grew up with her she was not just my daughter she was my best friend.
If I could ask one thing of all parents tonight it would be to please tell your children how much you love them and no matter what always be there for them. God only gives us so much time on this earth and our children are a gift. As for Stephanie we will see you again someday and we will all be together again.

Good Bye is all I can say.
I will think of you each & every day
Good night is the only peace I can give,
I know you're spirit will always live.
Good Morning won't ever be the same,
cause you never came.
You will always be in my heart,
The bond we made will never part.
You are my strength,
because you made me go the length.
Questions of you will surface in my mind,
but I know we'll be together in time.
I will love you forever,
I will love you as always.
and once more, Good bye is all I can say,
Until we meet another day!
Love ya always Steph!!

In Memory of You
I find an old photograph
and see your smile,
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth and my heart remembers you.
I read an pld card sent many years ago,
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then still caress my spirit and bring me peace.
I remember who you used to be,
the laughter that we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go?
When the body is left behind and the spirit released to fly?
Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances so carelessly on the breeze, or the rainbow of colors
that brighten a stormy sky,
or the finger of afternoon mist delicately reaching over the mountains,
or the final few rays of the setting sun, lighting up the sky,
edging the clouds with a magical glow.
I miss your being, but I feel your presence.
In whatever form you choose to take,
whoever you now choose to be,
Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high...
guiding,advising, and watching over me.
I remember you.
You are with me,
and I am not afraid!
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU STEPH!,BUT WE WILL MEET AGAIN ONE DAY!
LOVE, MICHELE AND GLENN

Steph,
Words will never express how much I miss you and Brian. And the memories we have shared. The partys we went to at door to door at the apartment building. The harassment we got from Lopez. I will miss you and Bri like crazy.
love you,

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Stephanie. Steph was a great person with so much to offer to the world and all of the people she was around. Her smile could light even the darkest of rooms. I can remember of college. She, Crystal Emerson, Angele, and myself all took the same sociology class together. Steph was never afraid to tell people(even the professor) exactly what she thought even if others didn't agree with it. I would often stop by McDonalds on my way home from school and have a brief conversation with Steph at the drive thru window. She will be missed greatly!

Mike, Mike, Kimmy, Tina, and Kane:
I would first off like to express my deepest sympathy to all of you. Kimmy (my "little", big sissy) you have always been there for me through everything and I love you more than you will ever know. If you ever need anything you know that I am always somebody who will listen just like I know you would listen to me. I know that you were an angel sent directly from heaven. Tina (my mom) I remember all those days when you and Kimmy would be at my house and you never let me down through anything. You both stood by me through everything.I know I can always count on you guys to help me with whatever I need. Mike, you are like a Dad to me I can always count on you to make me laugh with that ol' southern accent of yours. Little Mike, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how close you were and how Steph took right care of you and Kim. I am so sorry that this had to happen. I love you all very much!
To Steph:
Steph, you were a great girl. Always taking care and worrying about everybody else. Your life hadn't even started before it was gone. I guess that God needed somebody very special to be his angel. I know your shining down on us from heaven like so many friends we've lost along the way. And I know eventually we will all be together. ONE SWEET DAY!
I LOVE AND MISS YOU STEPH

**Brave & charismatic, elegantly strong, fashionably stubborn, gracefully weak. Beautifully mature and amazingly giving.** THATS THE STEPHANIE I KNEW
Long talks at McD's, hanging out with her and Mike and Shane and Kendra, & just watching her in amazement of how much her world revolved around her friends, family and epecially Kane.
I'll miss her not being there to tell me what I needed to hear weather I wanted to hear it or not :-)
I know that God is looking out for her, and she is with Michael, Mike, Kimmy, Tina and Kane. She loved you all more than anything and she will always be with you, ALWAYS, don't forget that.
God Bless You Stephanie- you are loved so VERY much. I promise You'll never leave my memory! (ever)

To Tina, Mike, Little Mike, Kimmy, Kane, and family: I'm so sorry for the loss you are enduring. Please remember that we love you all so much, and that we are here whenever you need us. Take care and God Bless.
To Steph:
I don't even know where to begin. I remember the day when you and your family came to live on Harbor Lane, I was so excited to have someone my age living in the same neighborhood. Little did I know that this "someone" would be so special as you were (are) to me. We would stay up all night and watch wrestling, play MASH for hours at a time, talk about everything under the sun. We were inseperable. Steph, I don't really know why we lost contact in high school, but I love you now as much as I did then, if not more. Your entire family means the world to me, and I know that you are looking down on us, smiling that BEAUTIFUL smile. If only everyone smiled like you did, this world would be a much better place. I will regret for the rest of my life that we lost touch with each other. I love you, I miss you.

Often we take for granted even the tiniest of things we do, or people we meet. We never stop for a second to appreciate the things we are given and then before you know it--it could be gone. I have so many memories of Stephanie when we were younger mostly because I was such good friends with Mike. I remember her elbowing him in the ribs on day to make him give me a picture...lol. She was so amazing like that. She is also the one who taught me to drive a 4-wheeler. It's funny the things you remember when you've lost something. As we grew older we grew apart, almost to the point of not speaking at all. But when I saw her, she always said hello. Steph was the type of person who always knew you wherever you were. I'm thankful that I have been priviledged enough to have met her. Though we didn't always see eye to eye I never stopped thinking of her as a special person. Steph-keep heaven in line! Watch out for us down here. We miss you.

steph im sorry i didn't get to know you better. I see you in passing dropping little Kane off at headstart and you always had a big smile on your face no matter what was on your mind. You always seemed to be so happy and you seemed to cheer everyone else up just to look at your smiling face.
TO THE FAMILY my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow be strong and hang together and you will get through this rough time.

DEAR FAMILY:
I JUST WANTED TO EXTEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU ALL. I REMEMBER STEPHANIE AS A HAPPY YOUNG GIRL WHEN YOU LIVED NEAR ME AT KELLEY'S POINT. SHE AND KIMMY AND LITTLE MIKE USED TO COME TO MY HOUSE QUITE OFTEN TO PLAY AND MINE WOULD GO TO YOUR HOUSE AS WELL. STEPHANIE ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR HER LITTLE BROTHER AND SISTER LIKE A MOTHER HEN. THEY WOULD ALL COME OVER FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES TOO AND ALWAYS GOT ALONG WELL TOGETHER. SAMANTHA AND STEPHANIE WERE IN THE SAME CLASS AT JBHS AND GRADUATED TOGETHER. I KNOW THEY WERE GOOD FRIENDS AND HAD GOOD TIMES TOGETHER. I THINK THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER SEEING STEPHANIE WAS THAT YEAR, AT TOURNAMENT. SHE PUT EVERYTHING INTO CHEERING AND SEEMED TO REALLY ENJOY LIFE. I ALSO REMEMBER OF SAYING HI TO HER THAT DAY AND THOUGH WE HAD NOT SEEN EACH OTHER FOR A LONG TIME, SURE ENOUGH SHE FLASHED THAT PRETTY SMILE THAT EVERYONE HAS MENTIONED!!
AGAIN, I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW VERY SORRY I WAS TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT YOU MUST BE FEELING, BUT PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ALL HAVE FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS THAT ARE SHARING YOUR SORROW.......
LOVE TO YOU ALL,
FAYTHE & CHARLES HARMON

Dear Steph,
I find myself not knowing how to begin, God knows I am not good at this kind of stuff. He as well as everybody else knows that I nor anyone else should be doing this for a girl as sweet and young as you were. I have always said that God works in mysterious ways, and have always been told that there is a reason for everything. I find
that hard to believe as what could ever be the reason for this AWFUL TRAGEDY? I can honestly say that I
just don't understand why God had to take you away from us? It's not
fair that's for sure! All I could think at first was about your baby sister, Kimmy, who battled with cancer and won and I thank God for that and then for him to take your life in an instant the way he did of course has shocked everybody. I
have asked God over and over WHY? I have yet to receive an answer. At
first I got angry and did not want to believe that there was a God any
more and that there most likely never had been one? But, then I had to ask myself if that were the case than where were my dad (whom I
also lost not long ago to CHF), and
my best friend Linda Cuozzo (whom I
also lost six years ago on May 16,
1996), and last but not least, Brian? Surely they all had to be in heaven so that they could watch down on all of their loved ones. I
realize that I wasn't fortunate enough to know you as well as I would have liked to have known you but, I did get to know you alot better this past year. Well enough
to know what a special kind of person you were. I never heard you
judge anyone or make fun of them. I
only remember you being sweet, caring, honest, just the type of person that you don't find many of anymore. You were so many things wrapped into one and I believe that
is why you were loved by so many? You seemed to give up doing any-
thing you may have been doing just to sit down and listen to anybody elses problems. That was something
I always remember you doing. You were always there to lend a helping
hand to anybody that needed one. I
never saw you as a selfish person.
You were one of a kind to me Steph and seemed to be so strong on the outside, although inside there may have been a fragile girl. A part of you that you didn't seem to want
many people to see? I don't ever remember seeing you when you didn't
have a smile on your face. I admired you in so many ways! I will
always remember you as a fun, out-
going, cheerful, ready to lend a shoulder for anyone to cry on, just
a one of a kind type of girl. I'll
never know why God chose you for you were one in a million to me. I
will never forget all the times you
were there to help me through a tough time no matter what it was. I am so sorry for your family for having to lose such a wonderful, beautiful, bubbily, outgoing, smart
and funny, fun loving, daughter. I
could just go on and on about how good of a person you were and how you would hold your problems inside
or shove them to the side and at the same time, be there to help somebody, anybody through their troubles no matter how big or small
I wish so much that I could have gotten to know you better but at the same time I feel I should be thankful for getting to know you as
well as I did! So whenever I am feeling blue, I just think of you and knowing how much more you seem-
ed to care about me than girls I had grown up with and gone to school with. I feel as though you were there for me more in a year than they were in the years all through school. I am so sorry that I didn't make it to your funeral but, I was afraid that it would be open casket and I would rather remember you the way you looked the last time I saw you with
that priceless smile on your face, then to remember you laying in the coffin. You see I went to Brians funeral as his was a day before yours but, the one thing that I was
afraid of happened. And although he looked just as handsome as ever I would have rather remembered him the way he was before the tragedy occurred. And now I can't help but picture him in that casket every time I think of him (which is
alot as I do you) but, I atleast can picture you with that beautiful
smile on your face, rather than in a casket. I remember how badly I just wanted to rub my eyes at Bri's
funeral and have him sit up and be back with us and wake and be told that it was all just an aweful nightmare! I may sound stupid but,
it's a feeling that I just can't describe. I feel so much for your family's loss as they definaltely lost a one of a kind girl as I am sure that they already know that. But, I can't help but feel more for
as he is way too young to under-
stand. But, there's one thing I am
sure of and that is in due time he will be old enough to understand, and your wonderful family will tell him all about his beautiful, fun loving, light hearted mommy and
how that there is just no way possible that you could have loved him and more or any less! Every time that I saw you with him, you had a twinkle in your eye that was magical. A bond between the two of
you that nobody could ever take away. You had to of been doing something right as I remember when he would cry he wasn't crying for just anybody, he was crying for mommy! You would take him in your arms and he would settle right down
everytime. I will never know how God could be so heartless as to break such a bond? I just keep asking myself why...why...why...?
Why this and Why that but, mostly how could he take two loving parents away from each one of their
own child? I know that you felt overwhelmed at times Steph but, no matter what you always knew just what to do and just what it was that he wanted. You are just so special in too many ways to count!
There could never be another you as
like all I've been saying, you are truly "one of a kind." You'll be greatly missed by more people than you will ever know, well until you look down upon us from up in heaven
and you will see what special kind of a person you truly were as there
will be many mourning for the life
of such a wonderful person! We all
have the knowledge that one day our times will all come to. I'll leave with a quote that I left on Brian's, "Life is certain, Death is not!!" To all the other friends
of Steph's out there and of course her family, my prayers go out to you all! Even though I myself may not have known Steph as long as you all did but, I knew her long enough to know that she was a brave, unselfish girl, who always wore a smile and willing to give a helping hand, which is not the only
reason she is loved so much by so many but, I do know that if Kane is
told nothing else, atleast let him know that she lit up when she was around him and she worked hard to give him all he would ever need or want! GOD BLESS YOU ALL, AND IF YOU KNOW OF NOTHING ELSE DURING YOUR TIME OF GRIEF AND SORROW, KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL, ESPECIALLY KANE, ARE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS EVERYDAY AND NIGHT! AND IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING AT ALL NO MATTER WHEN OR WHAT TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS CALL AND ASK! I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AS STEPH REALLY WAS ONE OF A KIND AND IN KANE WILL REMAIN A PART OF STEPH ALWAYS. AND FINALLY ONE LAST THING TO STEPH I WILL MEET YOU AT THE PEARLY GATES WHEN MY TIME COMES AND UNTIL THEN YOUR LIFE WILL BE CARRIED ON IN KANE AND YOU WILL BE THOUGHT ABOUT AND REMEMBERED BY ME AND ALL WHO LOVED YOU! GOD BLESS!
LOVE ALWAYS,
LACEE

Over the years Stephanie and I kinda grew apart. I guess life just takes us different ways. The one thing Stephanie always knew was I was there for her and she was one of my best friend. She knew that she could talk to me about anything. She would always ask for advice then she would take the opposite of what I told her. Then she would say I should have taken your advice. I would ask her why did you ask for my advice then do the opposite. Do you know what she said I want to make life interesting by learning the hard way. I will always remember the late night talks that we use to have. The sleepovers and just the hanging out we use to do. I am really going to miss Steph. I know that she is somewhere up in Heaven looking over us. I know that she knows that I will always love her and miss her. If I had a chance to do things over again our friendship wouldn't have gotten so distant.Steph, I love you and always will
Tina, Mike, Kimmy, Mike,and Kane
If there is anything I can do please let me know. I love you guys.

My Dearest Mike, Tina, Mike & Kim, I know there isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said but I still want you to know how very sorry I am for your loss. I never really new Stephanie that well but what I did see of her she was a sweet girl and loved her son Kane very much. No parent should ever have to bury a child. It is hard enough to lose someone that has lived there life let alone someone who is just beginning theres. Keep the faith and remember if there is ever anything I can do for any of you all have to do is ask. I use to see Steph alot down to day care and she always had a big smile on her face. Again, I love you all and you are in my prayers and thoughts always. All My Love, Laureta

I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of your loss. I knew Stephanie but not very well. I do remember seeing her at Narraguagus, and most of the time she had a glowing smile when she was walking to the hall to go to class. She was a very outgoing person and will always be remembered even by those who did not know her that well. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends, especially her little boy Kane. Hold on to your memories and keep them close at heart. She'll always be watching over you.

As another classmate mentioned, no Senior class meeting at Jonesport-Beals would have ever been the same without Stephanie. Had the majority sided with her, the class of '99 would have graduated with yellow(her favorite color) and black caps and gowns. Even though most meetings turned into a debate, Steph knew we still appreciated her views and we loved her. Her opinionated character was admirable. Steph never hesitated to state exactly what she thought, even if she was the only person thinking it. She carried a warm smile everywhere she went that could melt our hearts. Steph, you will be greatly missed, but at least we know you are in good hands. Love you always.

Mike,Tina,Mike,Kimmy,&Kane,
We want you to know how sorry we are for your loss. Steph was a very out going person and always had a big smile on her face. I remember one night Steph was staying at my house and we were wrestling someone feel on Steph and she hit her ear on teh back of the couch and she had to go to the hospital and have stitches but she never held a grudge. Steph we love you and will miss you very much.If there is anything we can do let us know.

Stephanie,
I didn't know you that much but the times we spent at nannies for birthday's and stuff you always had that special smile everyone tells so much about that beautiful, great big smile. I want you to know that none of us would have wanted this to happen. You and Brian were so happy. Lots of Love to the Whole Family.
