Friday night football games, lazy summer days by the pool, campouts in my woods, cheerleading camp, cruising around with T tops off - all my most treasured High school memories include Stephanie. Her family even took me in for a couple weeks when I needed a place to stay. During that time, she introduced me to peanut butter toast. I still think of her every time I make it. I was grateful to reconnect with her a couple years back; saddened to know we don't have more time. We will meet again, dear friend, in a world free of pain and hurt. My deepest condolences to her sons, parents, siblings, and those who were fortunate enough to call her family or friend.
