Stefani, you are in my heart and prayers as I remember you fondly. Gone too soon, dear Stefani. You had an appreciation for life, with God always in your heart and soul. Miss our park outings when you were up to it, and our time together at treatment. Love from your friend, Wilhelmina (Willi) Johnson

Stefani and I worked together at the Chelsea years ago. I will always remember her as a kind, gracious, and warm person. She exemplified grace under pressure with her unique ability to handle high-stress situations that no one else could handle so calmly and methodically. She never had a bad word to say about anyone, and was always willing to go the "extra mile" to help. She was particularly adept in group settings, and with Stefani, there were no strangers--"only friends who hadn't met yet."
Stefani also helped me through a personal crisis, and I will never forget that. I will miss her terribly and I offer her family my most sincere condolences.
