I'm terribly sorry about your loss. I knew Stephanie back in Middle School at Rudder and we had become close friends, after we entered high school, our paths separated and it is such a shame that something so horrible had to happen to someone so beautiful! May God be with Stephanie and your family!

I was the social worker at SBMS-Stephanie's middle school. She volunteered to mentor a younger child in my Big Buddy program and really made a difference to the little ones. Stephanie always asked me about social work and knew at such a young age that she wanted dedicate herself to helping children. I will remember Stephanie as being a great friend to her peers, a role model to younger children and an amazing person who I had the privilege of knowing. I love you Steph!

We lived arcoss the street on Spring Rain and were so sorry to hear that Stephanie has passed. May God grant you and your loved ones comfort, strength and support as you deal with this most great loss. Stephanie will always be remembered by her sweet loving nature and her special big smile. Our two granddaughters liked Stephanie so much. Your sweet daughter shared some of her childhood books with Ashleigh and Kaitlynn before you all moved from the area. She has such a big heart and enjoyed entertaining the younger children. God bless you!
