One didn't need to know her in person to realize what a special gem she was. I know she's in peace in Heaven...I pray for peace for you and her family here on earth.

I was able to talk to Stephanie via facebook--she was a special person that helped many with her outlook on life. How ever short your time together was, you were both very fortunate to have one another in this life.
I'm sorry...

I�m so sorry for your loss. Stephanie was so young to get hit with this disease and she fought it with all she had. She was a special person and her life on earth was all too short. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am so saddened by Stephanie's passing. She went through so much (and you along with her) for such a young person. Yet she was such an optimistic and positive individual and her life truly touched the hearts of so many people. My thoughts are with you and your family and I hope you can find comfort and peace in the memories you have of Stephanie and your life together.
