The people she touched in her life talked highly of Stephanie’s kindness and love for her children. She was loved by so many people and so many friends. Stephanie will be missed by many.
Stephanie was such a bright individual and an amazing mother. Not a day went by that she didn’t talk about her children or family and the love she had for them. She inspired everyone she came across. I met Stephanie when I was in kindergarten at Jefferson Elementary School in Fayetteville Arkansas. We became best friends at that time. We spent so much time together that her home was like a second home to me. Her mom was like a second mom to me. We lost contact when she moved to NC, but we connected again a few years later and she come to visit often when she needed to have a person to lean on and time away from where she was at. The things she went through would have broken many but it showed how strong she was. She had an army of people on her side every day. This shows how much she impacted lives over the course of her lifetime. She is missed dearly and is going to be missed everyday going forward. The world isn’t the same without her and will never be the same. Her life still lives on within her 3 children and they will be reminded of the mother they have and how strong she was and how much she loves them and how hard she fought and how she was a warrior her whole life. Rest peacefully my friend. I’m so grateful I had the chance to call you my friend.
Stephanie was my daughter. She was a fighter and a warrior in her struggles of life. She was a strong woman who loved and adored her 3 children. She had many friends that knew her and cared about her. She will live on through her 3 children. As they get older they will remember the love that she showed them. Stephanie enjoyed painting and taking photographs. She took one of my baby pictures and turned it from black and what to color for a school project. She cared about others a lot. She did things for others and wasn’t appreciated enough. She painted me a picture with a cross. She bought me a palm tree plant for Christmas. She loved doing things for others that she cared for. I will never forget my daughter and who she was. Her memory will always live on through me. She had a love for softball, for photography, for painting, for her 3 children. She will be missed by many who loved her dearly. I love you my beautiful daughter!
We loved Stephanie and will miss her. She was kind and loved her children deeply.
