Stephanie and I grew up together and spent hours playing in the woods around our homes. I'll never forget how fun and loving her family was, and how they made me feel like a part of it. We had some crazy times in high school and beyond, but survived it all. We became neighbors again for a while when we both moved back to care for our parents. Stephanie was always there with help when you needed it most and you never had to ask. She just somehow knew. She was a fantastic mom and a wonderful
friend. I will keep her and her family in my prayers always.
