Ann, We will miss Stephanie so much. You raised such a wonderful, sweet, sensitive, and joyous little girl. She was such a blessing to Sandra. Stephanie was always there to help Sandra in tennis. You were a good mom to her. She blossomed under your direction. We rejoice that one day we will see her again. We love you. Carol
Tony and Ann,
Our hearts are breaking because of your loss. What a sweet and very special little girl. We will miss hearing her sweet laughter as she played in the yard and will miss seeing that beautiful, wide-eyed smile each Christmas Eve as she delivered gifts. While our hearts are breaking, we can rejoice in the fact that now Stephanie frolicks beside the Crystal Sea and is in the presence of God, and one day we shall all see her again. We love you all so very much.
Ann and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Stephanie was such a blessing to everyone who knew her. Her time may have been short but she had many accomplishments in her life. Ann you did a wonderful job raising her into a Godly young woman.Stephanie will watch over us all until we see her again. Our love and prayers are with you and your family.

I met Stephanie in church about a month ago at the Rock.I hope that the Lord will heal your emotional wounds and that you know that she is now in the presence of God and is now happier than she could ever be here on Earth. I’m just happy that your family will see her again. At the Rock Christian Acad. the whole school prayed for her and your family and now God has her by his side.
To Ann Best and Family:
My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time. The sadness and pain you feel are shared by many people who knew Stephanie.
When I had her in class on Wednesday nights, she stood out to me because she was so polite, well behaved and thoughtful of others.
Stephanie had a sweet personality.
My prayer for your family is that the pain in your heart will ease and God will give you the strength and wisdom you need to face each day.
If there is anything I can do please don’t hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
Barbara Lance

We are stunned to hear of your great loss. We will miss seeing her big bright eyes and her beautiful smiling face as we drive by and see her hiding behind the bushes, as if we couldn’t see her. That always made us smile.
We want to express our condolence in the loss of your precious gift from God, and feel confidant that she is somewhere peaceful and will be watching over you all.
She will be missed terribly. The Evan’s
We are praying for your family and thinking about you often.
