Dear Mrs. Atsides and Family~
I was so sorry to hear of Stephanie's passing. Our prayers are with you during these days. Stephanie was one of my best friends in high school (Titusville). I remember her great sense of humor, her wisdom..she seemed so very wise at such a young age...and her love of family and Greek background. I turned to my dear friend for teenage advise..and she was always willing to listen and help. After all these years, I can still see her in her 'Villager' outfit , long beautiful straight black hair and a little sweater thrown over her shoulders. I know she was very well loved in this life by many and I was blessed to have called her my friend.

Dear Mrs. Atsides and family, I was surprised to see Stephanie's name in our paper today.
I graduated from Titusville High School with Stephanie. I moved to Ocala in 1989 when my husband was transferred here with the State. I always remember Stephanie as being kind to everyone. I had several classes with her and she was always kind to me. I only wish I would of known that she was in Ocala and I could of stopped in to see her. My sympathy is with you and her family.
