Our family is so saddened by the news of Stephani passing away. She was our special "princess" ever since the day the Schumann family moved next door to us in Crystal Lawns. Not only were they our neighbors, but they became part of our family and she and her brothers meant so much to us.
We will always remember that sweet smile and the joy she brought to Clyde, Linda, Julie and myself.
We will be praying for your family in this tremendous loss.
God bless her memory.

I don't know what it is like to lose a mother, I can not make it all better but I will stand and comfort Nate and his family. I am so sorry for their loss and their pain. It hurts me so much to see Nate hurting, So please keep Nate and his family in your prayers and give them the strength to get though the tough times that are now and to come. You are family and I will be here if and when needed.

I was so saddened to hear of Stephanie's passing. We went to high school together, and although it's been awhile since I've seen her, I have fond funny memories of time shared with her in high school. She will be sadly missed.
