It’s been 3 years and still thinking about you. Miss you much, Study Buddy.

Wow, I am shocked that you are gone. I'm so glad I got to meet you for your Medicare needs. R.I.P.

We had so many great laughs, you always made me laugh.  

Stef -  I cannot believe your gone.

Steff and I met at Church in Keokuk Iowa. Lots of fun memories from many moons ago. Loved finding her on Facebook and seeing all her witty jokes and happiness she shared so easily. Till we meet again my friend. Love ya gurlie.

My heart is broken knowing you aren’t here anymore. I want to wake from this terrible nightmare and just call you and you will pick up your phone. I bet you are partying so hard up there, with Bowie by your side :). I can’t help but think and reminisce about the last time you were here. You met my family, and my heart was so happy. My kids adored you. You were one of my people, the closest people. You were there to help me, let me vent, make me laugh, laugh at my stupid jokes. As I sit here today, looking through photos and watching Labyrinth I know you are right by my side quoting the movie with me and laughing. I miss you so much it hurts. Please say hi to Grandpa for me! Until we meet again, I love you always Aunt Steff. 

I will always remember hanging out at your place going through vintage Christmas ornaments with you, Alice, and Mike. There was so much love and laughter that night. I am so sorry that I didn't keep in touch, but I always considered you one of my favorite people in Orlando. I send my condolences to your family.

Steff, 
We first met and became friends through email and chat at Full Sail when I moved here and started working there in October 2007. A couple of weeks later when you saw me in person (because of the way I was dressed for work) you were in total disbelief I was me...thanks to you I came out of my shell and NEVER crawled back in to be someone I’m not. 
I’ll always remember the Joan Jett concert, The Friday nights at The Celt, and then later (but always) us laughing so hard that I would snort, our faces and guts would hurt, and we’d end up crying from laughing so hard. 
I’m really going to miss your humor, singing to CDs in the car, and watching movies with you. 
Condolences to your family and everyone that loved you!

Steff you were the family I chose.   I will miss you and our outings for brunch and shopping, to the parks, and to feed the giraffes.
I will miss the stories we made up with Gerald & Rufus.
Texting you when I saw something I knew you’d like
Getting texts from you when you saw something I’d like.
I love you.  I will never not miss you.


Steff and I met through Full Sail University. She was one of my favorites to know and work along side at the book store. Steff even helped me with a simple storyboard animatic by recording VO for the project.

I'm going to definitely miss her. My prayers and condolences to her family and loved ones.

I am still is disbelief that we are never going to be able to joke about the movie Airplane, argue over who liked dragonflies first, joke about how much you liked “sportsball”, or share pictures of matching tattoos that we wanted to get. I am truly heartbroken and will miss you everyday. My sister, my friend! 

Steff I've known you since we worked together at Hot Topic, were my roomie, my road dog and one of my closest friends. My heart goes out to everyone feeling your loss. My condolences to her family and friends.
