Anyone that knew Stephanie would agree she brightened any room; just being around her made me a happier person.  She was a warm soul, with the most infectious laugh.  The life of the party.  The best friend, mother, co-worker, and confidant anyone could ask for.  We all ache as we mourn losing such a beautiful person.  It still does not seem real that she could be taken from us so early in her life. 

She leaves behind her two precious children, Samuel & AJ, and Sam.  There are no words or actions that could make this situation better.  But I hope we can pull together and help Sam as he moves forward in this life as a single father.
