Dear Stephanie's Family,
(Posted With Permission, Page 2)
My heart aches for you and has been in the past month of this horrific tragedy. I patiently watched this story unfold, day by day. While I can't only imagine the pain that your family is going through I hope you understand just how much your daughter was loved. So many people even complete strangers are so proud of her and what she did. Stephanie's legacy will never die and Stephanie's true colors will always shine--she always wanted to help people!
While I only had the pleasure of meeting Stephanie a few times, I can't recall her without a smile on her face. I hope that memories and stories like these will help you in time find peace and begin to heal.
Stephanie has only refueled my passion and desire for helping people.
Thank you Stephanie for teaching us all so much.
My love and prayers to you all.

You all must be very proud of Stephanie for all that she has done. It is obvious that Stephanie had a "heart of gold" by her deeds and her smile as she served the less fortunate. As Jesus had commanded us, "Love one Another" and Stephanie had done that so well and so lovingly. As Stephanie gave her life and love to helping others in need, she in turn is loved by many and even those who may not know her. But most of all Stephanie is loved by her Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ. As sad as it is for you to lose her, remember to be happy that you had a chance to have such a beautiful daughter/sister and remember her memory by keeping her legacy of her work and dedication to others. May the Lord God give you all strength and courage to overcome your pain and loss and may He lead you through your own Journeys - a Journey of Healing, a Journey of Hope, a Journey of Joy, a Journey of Blessings, a Journey of Love and a Journey of Peace. With prayerful thoughts.

Our Hearts, thoughts and prayers go out to all of Stephanie’s
Family, and friends.. although we never had an opportunity to meet
Nancy has told us all the wonderful things Stephanie has done.
We know that she is still doing wonderful things in heaven with our Father and
Savior.. … we hope one day you find peace and comfort again, she is not gone
Just on a different journey at the moment…
It’s hard to see tomorrow,
When someone you love is gone
And it’s harder still to realize
That your life will still go on
But the Lord won’t give you burdens
Which he knows you cannot bare
He will not leave you comfortless
You will always find him there
We are all our Fathers children
Here on earth and up above
And your love one now walks close to God
Surrounded by his love…….
God Bless you all

Dear Lin, Lenny, Michael and Nick,
Stephanie did wonderful work and everyone can see that her heart was full of courage and strength. You must all be so very proud of her. Although I did not know her personally, I can see how beautiful she was both inside and out. She will always be remembered with love. With everyone's help, her charitable work will go on forever. With much love and respect, I offer you my thoughts and prayers to help you through this difficult time.
Much love, Lucille
Dear Lin and Family,
My deepest sympathies and condolences on your profound loss. It sounds
like Stephanie was an amazing young woman and was doing the work of
the angels and saints and now in among them as guardian to all.
I hope this verseto below adds comfort for your family.

Grieve Not by Mary Frye
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain.
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am the morning hush.
I am the graceful rush of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the star shine of the night.
I am the flowers that bloom.
I am in a quiet room.
I am the birds that sing.
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
A Charitable Fund in Stephanie's name
is a wonderful way to honor someone as
kind as she was and who cared so much
about the world. She touched so many
during her life and this foundation
will continue her good works.
All my prayers are with you all,
Dukie
