Stef was the most thoughtful person I have ever known.   Every Christmas she would send me a card.   I could always count on a Christmas card from Stef, even after I had moved several times and even while she battled cancer.   During my birthday she would always send me a Happy Birthday text.  She’s just that kind of individual.  She made you feel special and loved.   Stef had the most beautiful smile, the sharpest wit, and the craziest, longest lashes girls can only dream of.        She remained so strong in her fight against cancer, her attitude remained positive throughout and I didn’t realize how little time there was for her.    The world is certainly dimmer without your light.     Stef I will miss you forever.

Hanging out after some tough LSL work ❤️

Two years ago when I drove to California.

When Stef and I visited the Hollywood Funko Pop store.

Stefanie, You were my first friend and my best friend for many years. As I write this, many memories come flooding in. We rode bikes up and down the street, walked to and from school, read the same books, our favorite for a time was Sweet Valley High ( you had the whole collection), and played together for years making up many games. I have voice recordings of us making up weather reports as though we were on the news. You were the weather fairy and when I asked what the weather was you said, “ I don’t know… hot and smoggy I guess.” It was hilarious. I have many photos of us together but none with me at the moment. I remember we learned to do flips and back walks in my living room. We rode our bikes up and down the street around Gladstone High School before it became a fortress of gates. For a time we only had your banana bike and   while riding your bike, I took it to my yard and hid wondering how long it would take for you to come looking for it. Some time went by and then I saw you riding down the street singing “ La la la” while riding your old tricycle. It was the funniest sight and it made me laugh so hard. It was one of the funniest reversal of pranks ever. We talked and laughed all the time. I remember you loved lemon heads, but hated actual lemons. You always had perfect pig tails and cute outfits. You were really good at school and it pushed me to try my best as well. You were so special in so many ways, funny, happy, sweet, and kind. I will always cherish our best memories together as you were such a lovely soul and a big part of my youth. I can’t think of my childhood without you in it. Goodbye sweet lovely Stefanie. I will always love you. Thank you for being there for me and making life fun and happy.

I worked with Stefanie at the Lewis Group of Companies, and she was such a delight. She was smart, friendly, and funny, and I loved cracking her up with my silly Dad jokes and comments. Every time I worked with her on a project or saw her in the hallways, she was smiling and welcoming. Truly such a good person to know and work with. My family and I send big hugs and best wishes to her family.

I always looked up to you l and thought of you as my sister, so beautiful and smart always.

My high school days and your college days

Auntie Stef, Uncle Joe, and my mom Rhiannon. I always thought Stef looked so beautiful in this picture!

At Angela’s baptism. Stefanie’s outfits were always so cute!

Auntie Stef always loved Disneyland. Her and my Uncle Joe took me and my sister there sometime around 2010. I will never forget this day! It was so much fun spending time with her and learning how much she loved Disneyland… especially during Halloween! I’ll forever cherish her and these memories we made. People always said me and her looked alike and I feel like this picture really shows it. Love you Auntie!

The Farry Family were my second family for a beautiful 14 years. I still consider them so. I think this was Stef’s Spelling Bee ?

My dear sweet Steffy Poo. I don’t remember how we became such good friends, but somehow God brought us together. I remember we said we became friends because we were PTSD survivors from Guardian. When I left, I knew I had to take you with me and so began our time at Lewis. You and your mom and dad became my other family, and were always there for me no matter what. I know you always got mad at me for always trying to see the good in everything, but it was only because I cared and was selfish in my own right to see you happy. I will miss you and can’t imagine my life without you. You have  been by my side for the last 12 years and I can’t imagine my life without you. Until we see each other again in heaven my friend. I love you.

I shared some amazing times with Stefanie. Stefanie is the most courageous, purest person I know. I do not use the past tense as her energy & soul are still there for us. And if you dream of her floating in a bubble. It will be a wonderful thing. Love you Stef “ little Sis “ Farry.

My best friend for over 45 years. So many amazing memories we shared. From making fun of Mr. Gilbert, to quoting every Seinfeld episode, to sitting on my front lawn at 2am talking about life while you shivered in a blanket… you were with me for my first speeding ticket, you were there as my maid of honor at my wedding. When my Dad passed away you were the first person I called. I’ll never forget your big smile with your perfect straight teeth that you always asked me if you had food stuck in them. How we would listen to Alice In Chains and drool over Mike Starr. Remember Danzig’s book collection? Thank you for letting me cheat off of you in Chemistry.  Remember how I didn’t read Malcolm X but managed an A+ book report? I will miss making you laugh… no matter how sad or upset you were, I knew I could always cheer you up. I’ll think of you often and fondly. Especially when I hear “Bang” by Gorky Park. Until we meet again… I love you Stef!
