To Stephanie's family and friends: I attended William Smith with Stephanie and while we were only acquaintances I wanted to extend my sympathy to those that loved her. I can only imagine the shock and sadness you must feel. Please know that the news of her passing reached the HWS community at large recently and I know many of us are thinking of you during this time of sorrow.

Dear Snyder Family,
I am a distant cousin of yours, my mother is Leslee Feinsod. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I only met Stephanie a handful of times at family events, and in truth I don't remember her very much. I always remember your family as being sweet and nice and kind. Although we are not close, I send you warm wishes and lots of love. I will keep your family in my thoughts.
Much love, Ken Shelf

To Stephanie's Family & Friends,
I had the pleasure of doing yoga privates with Stephanie. Although I only knew her for about a month before she passed, I truly enjoyed every moment I got to spend with her. Stephanie was always so kind and generous when I'd come to her apartment, offering me tea and breakfast :) She few conversations we had she always spoke fondly of her family and friends. I will always remember her as a beautiful and dedicated yogi.

To Stephanie's Family,
I too was shocked and saddened to hear of Stephanie's untimely passing. I was honored to have known her for the last several years. In fact, she and I took two trips together last summer: one to tennis camp and one to Montauk so we could exercise, eat organic food and so she could practice her beloved yoga. It is so hard to grasp that such an energetic, spirited young woman no longer graces us with her presence. And, boy, did she have presence! We always had fun hanging out in what she described as her "sexy little bachelorette pad on Park." I will treasure the photo I keep of Stephanie, stylishly dressed as usual, with me and some of our friends at my birthday party. It came as no surprise that she was an organ donor as she was an exceptionally generous and elegant person in life. She will be dearly missed. Please accept my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Snyder and Jenny,
Along with all the others who have contributed to this guest book, I was shocked and saddened to hear about Stephanie's passing. And while it has been many years since the last time I saw Stephanie, I remember that she looked more beautiful than ever and she was happy. I have many memories of us as children and classmates at Dalton. She was so smart, so pretty, so vibrant and full of energy- I must admit I was jealous of her! And with good reason. She will be greatly missed.

I was shocked and very saddened to hear about Stephanie. I have known Stephanie since we were children at Dalton. Over the last few years, we would often bump into each other at our favorite exercise class and we would always spend time chatting after class. Stephanie was a lovely person - she was warm, smart, funny, and open. I will miss seeing her. My heartfelt condolences to Stephanie's mother, father and sister.

Stpehanie and I would work out together on Sunday mornings. After everyone left, we would spend another hour alone, talking, sharing and just relaxing together. It was a quiet place, and we were safe in a peaceful little world, away from the hectic city pace. I treasured our private moments each week. We reflected, and more important, we urged (and promised) one another to find the possibilites rather than the limitations of life.
I hope her essence will be a blessing to all of her loved ones for the rest of your lives

To Stephanie's family,
Like everyone who knew her well or just knew her a bit, I too am shocked by this tragedy. I believe she and I shared two communities, Dalton and New York real estate, and that I was her peer leader at Dalton when she was a freshman. I did not know her well, but I bumped into her often over the years and we would chat.
She was sweet, kind, funny and very smart as you know.
I have no doubt both communities will reach out to you for years to come. I hope that this will give you comfort.
Sincerely,
Jason Sander, New York, NY

Stephanie and I went to Lenox High School together. We had such a small intimate graduating class and so we all spent a lot of time together during our high school years. She was a wonderful person. She will be missed. I am deeply saddened by her passing. My prayers go out to her family and friends.

To Stephanie's family,
I just found out about this very sad news today and was shocked and saddened. I had the pleasure of knowing Stephanie over the past 4 years and always enjoyed her energy, realistic outlook on life and keen sense of humor and let's not of course forget her tremendous sense of style and elegance, something that is in short order these days. I extend my sympathies to her whole family.

Dear Snyder Family,
I had the pleasure of playing tennis with Stephanie and a group of girls on Friday nights in midtown a few years ago. We would take our lessons and then hurray up and change so that we could all catch up with one another over dinner. I was always struck by Stephanie's tenacity, how incredibly smart she was, and how incredibly important family was to her. She spoke so highly of all of you and felt so proud to be apart of your family. I'm sad to say that Stephanie and I have not been in touch over the last few years and it really hurts me to think that I will not have the opportunity to see her again. But please know that she held a special place in my heart and that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this extremely difficult and shocking time. All my best, Melissa

Gil and Lindia
As all I was shocked to hear about Stephanie's passing, so young, so smart and always the prefect lady, it just doesn't seem fair. Loosing a child has to be the most painful event a parent could encounter. I am so sorry for your loss. She was admired by all who knew her.
My thought and sympathy are with you.
Deepest regards

I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

Linda, Gil, & Jenny, my prayers are with you during this shocking & terribly painful time. Stephanie was such an important part of my younger years and I have so many memories of the seemingly endless amount of time we spent together; besides school, at each other's houses, in the playground, roller skating (before their were blades) ice skating, eating chinese food at The Fortune Garden, swimming in your building's pool, trying to outdo each other in gymnastics and tennis, or anything really...(she always won, by the way). I last saw her about five years ago; we'd both shown up to an exercise class in bridgehampton that the teacher had forgotten about, so we wound up spending the hour stretched out on the floor catching up on the last fifteen years. I learned things about her I never knew, came to understand the adult she'd become and gained a clearer picture of how she experienced our shared childhood; she cracked me up as she always could. I feel very grateful to have had that time with her as we both had some wounds that needed healing and time plus that conversation gave it to us. Please lean on all the loving support headed your way from the many people who loved Stephanie and who love you; As profoundly unfair as it is for you to have lost her at such a young age I do have great faith she is still with you in spirit and that you will all be reunited a long long time from now. With love,

Growing up, of all my sister's friend, Stephanie was always the sweetest, friendliest and most polite. I will always remember her joie de vivre and impeccable manners. In recent years, when my husband and I were in NY, we often ran into Stephanie, who was as friendly and energetic as I always remembered.
To Mr. and Mrs. Snyder, Jenny, and Stephanie's entire family, I am profoundly sorry for your tragic and sudden loss. It is a shock that such a bright light no longer shines amongst us.

To Stephanie's family, she was a very special person and I am grateful that she was in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My heart breaks at the thought of my phone not ringing with Stephanie calling just to say hi. I will miss her deeply. I will forever cherish our endless talks, weekly dinners and as she said to me at the end of every conversation " I Love You", Kisses... Melissa Siegel

I was deeply saddened to hear of Stephanie’s tragic passing. Linda, Gilbert and Jenny, my heart breaks for you and I can’t even begin to imagine what you're going through. My thoughts are with you and your entire family during this most difficult time. There are so many people who knew and loved Stephanie. She was a beautiful human being. I have such fond memories and can still picture her big smile and the way she would break out into hysterics, or the way she would give you a simple smile with a quick roll of they eyes. These are some of the wonderful things I will remember about her. We were great friends for so many years. I’m forever grateful for that precious gift. As I am sure is the case with many, I can’t quite grasp that Stephanie is no longer here. However, I do believe she’ll be looking down on all of us. I’m thankful for knowing her as I did and fortunate to have such wonderful memories to replay for years to come.
With all my love,

Impossibly wrong. She was a significant presence and did indeed enrich those who knew her.
