To Stephanie's awesome family and friends,
She was a special person and a light in this world.  We will always miss her coming to the door to say something kind when we walked by . Our deep sympathy and warm wishes to all if you.

Dear Vlk Family,
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to you upon the passing of Stefanie. She was a very brave, special and talented lady. Our prayers and best wishes are with you during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Victor Carlson & Amy Turner

When I was a kid, I remember I couldn't wait to visit my Uncle Henry, Aunt Marisa, and my cousins in Timonium.  The reason for this wasn't because of anything special about Timonium itself.  Instead, it was because of how warm, and loving my mother's brother's family was towards me and my family.

I was of similar age as my Cousin Stefanie- so we played together every chance we could.  Roller skating while being pulled on a bike full throttle, and other crazy athletic things. 
I fell, but didn't care.  Stefanie was so much fun to be around.  I felt totally accepted.  
Many years later- I visited with my Partner, Clare, and my mom and dad, now in their eighties.  
I can remember so clearly when we came downstairs to join everyone for coffee one morning, Stefanie emphatically shouting "Clare is in, Clare is in!"
Clare was fully accepted into this family.  She was a foster child so this was a powerful, appreciative moment for her.

There are simply some people in life whom we know will leave their indelible mark on those close enough in their orbit to love, and be loved, by them.
Stefanie was one of those people.  It saddens me I lived far away in California, and didn't see her more often.  Looking at the memorial video-  she and Bob had an enviable love for each other.  Their two daughters, Aileen and Alexandra clearly lucky to be enveloped in that love.

“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”

Whenever I think of Stefanie, I always think of her sweetness and her kindness.   I think of her smile, her laughter, and her sense of humor.   
She will be sorely missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have her touch their lives!
My deepest sympathy goes to Bob, Aileen, Alexandra and little Elia.   You will always be in my thoughts and in my prayers.   God bless you.    I love you very much!!!

Bob and Family,

I am sad to hear of Stephanie's passing. I will always remember her as the center of our group of friends growing up.  We all spent so much time just hanging out and having a good laugh. I often wish we could go back and do it all again. I pray for peace and strength for each of you. God Bless

I am not sure how Stefani happened upon my shop-but I am so glad she did. From the very first day that she walked into my business, I felt as though she was my friend! She had such a super personality that I could not help but like her! She was such a joy to be around and she lite up the office the moment she stepped into it! She will be greatly missed by so many and heaven is so lucky to get a super sweet angel! Bob-I will keep you and the girls in my prayers and I will never forget what a wonderful person Stef was!! God Bless you and your family!

Bob,
We are saddened to hear about Stefanie's passing. We are thinking of you and your family, and we pray that God brings you all comfort, strength, and peace during this difficult time. May her memory be eternal.

Stefanie was a beautiful, vibrant soul.  Always joyous, always positive.  I can hardly recall a time when she wasn't smiling.  I have many fond memories of our families growing up together on Downshire Court in Springlake.  My deepest sympathy to Bob, Aileen, Alexandra and Elia.  Much love to you and your entire family.  I'll always be grateful for our friendship.

So many fond memories of hanging out as a group of friends from elementary school through high school in Spring Lake. 
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during and after this very difficult time.

Our sincere condolences, prayers and love go out to Bob, Aileen, Alexandra, and Elia. Wising you peace and many happy memories.

As I was thinking of all the memores I have of Stefanie this quote came to mind.  Stefanie was so good to everyone.  She  made you feel special and loved, and capable..  I will always remember how she made me feel and hope to honor her legacy by doing so for others.  

Our deepest sympathy  and heartfelt prayeers are with Bob, Alexandra, Aileen and Elia.  

I'm saddened that I won't have a chance to spend more time with Stefanie, but I'm happy I got to share our little piece of paradise on Lake Ontario with her. Condolences and love to Alexandra and Bob, Elia, and of course, Aileen. 

I have many fond memories of Mom, but I will always remember our morning coffee/tea chats where we solve all the world's problems. She will always be in my heart.

Bob, I am so sorry to hear about Stefanie. The two of you shared something so very special that few are able to find. I pray you'll always cherish those memories and that God will help your family through these difficult times.

Bob, Aileen, and Alexandra.  I have nothing but the greatest memories of Stefanie.  Her love of all of you is unmatched and her positive energy is something rarely seen.  I know it’s been many years since we’ve seen one another, but I think of you all the time and I’m with you now as always.  You are in our prayers.
Love,
Tom & Jennifer

I want to send you my deepest sympathy of the loss your beloved Stefanie.

Bob, Alexandra and Aileen,

I am so sorry to learn of Steph's passing. It's been many years but I have fond memories of her. I wish I'd had the opportunity to come out and visit again before she passed. I remember her as a strong, beautiful woman. As a fellow cancer survivor, her strength and courage meant so much to me. 

I love you all. Please take care and I hope to see you all in the next year or so. 

*Mom sends her love and condolences too. She's not in an easy position to reach out right now, but she's thinking of you!

Love,
Vickie Frank (Madison WI)

So sorry to hear of Stephanie’s passing! I remember her power walking thru the subdivision and her pride in her daughters’ accomplishments. She’ll be missed.

Prayers of comfort during this very sad time. I fondly remember Stefani's warmth and friendliness years ago. May her memory be a blessing. 


Bob, we are so sorry to hear about Stephanie.  I had been thinking about you all the other day and wondering how you all were doing.  We have so many fond memories of our friendship from Middle school and High School.  I was talking to my daughter about a few, as she is a senior.  We pray you cherish all the memories you had together.  We knew you two were soul mates from way back when.  May God hold you during this time of Loss.  Love & God Bless you and your family, Chuck & Tracy

Bob, I'm praying for you and the family during this difficult time.  I will always remember Stefanie's smile.  Praying that God comfort you today and always.

I am very sorry to hear of Stephanie's passing.  My condolences to the family.


I am very sorry for your loss. I live in Springdale and frequently saw Stefanie on her walks. I also remember her from the pool, years ago when our children were little. I wish I could have known her better. Your family is in my prayers at this very difficult time.
