I am so saddened to learn of Stephanie's death. Stephanie and I were college roommates and she was the matron of honor in my wedding. I received photos of her adorable children but then we fell out of touch. I so admired her and the thought of her not being in this life is truly sad. My deepest sympathy to her family.

We are in belated shock. Both Frank (TCC and Blue Cross) and I (TCC) worked for Stephanie. She was one of the finest women we've ever known, kind and gracious, both personally and professionally. She was a pleasure to be around. Our heartfelt sympathy go out to Claire, Steven, and her sister. We hadn't seen her in a while, and had no idea of any illness nor her passing. There are no words to adequately express our feelings of loss.

Dear Claire and Stephen - I don't know you, but your Mom was a close friend in high school. Your Mom was both beautiful and smart - we had great times together. I too am dealing with cancer so I know the struggle. My thoughts and meditations are with you both and your family.

Dear Claire, Steven, and family.
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear mother, Stephanie. I only knew Stephanie by her voice, working on the same team with her from WellPoint. She was lovely to work with, and we all missed her when she retired. May God bless you and your family. I know Stephanie has returned to God and to her eternal reward. Sincerely. My prayers are with you.

Dear Claire and Stephan,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's death. I have not lived in Richmond for 17 years and had lost touch. Stephanie and I shared an apartment in Los Angeles when we were on contract there. I know it has been hard to lose her so young and to lung cancer.
My prayers and thoughts are with both of you and your aunt.
