Stephanie Rudats Funeral Expenses

Stephanie Rudat was born February 12th, 1991 to proud and happy family.  At six weeks old Stephanie's parents got news that their infant daughter had non-lymphocetic leukemia.  Chemotherapy helped send her illness into remission, and baby had an autologous transplant, in which her own bone marrow was removed, chemically treated and reinserted into her body with the hope that all the cancer had been killed.  After two bone marrow transplants baby was finally healing and in remission.  Stephy baby or "Jr" as her dad would call her spent twenty four glourious years in remision.  She grew up loving life and bringing light to everyone in her path.  Steph loved playing soccer, watching and playing basketball with her father, helping others, cooking with her dad, taking her mom to restuarants all over Socal, working hard with her Disney family.  Stephanie graduated from Cal State Fullerton and was proud to move on to the next steps to become a nurse.  Steph's father became ill and eventually passed away from cancer.  The dedication and love Stephanie put into his care was nothing short of angelic.  She would take him to his chemo appointments and get him to laugh even during the worst pain.  After her father passed Steph begged her work to have saturdays off.  She was a little persistant.  She told them she needed to spend every Saturday with her mother now that her father was gone.  Every week Steph would take her mother on a new adventure.  Stephanie's main dream in life was to be a nurse for babies that were just like Stephanie in the NICU, fighting for their lives.  She always said when she was a baby it was the nurses that made her feel safe.  She was about to apply for nursing school when her world fell apart again.  Stephanie was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer.  Right away she told the doctors she would fight and assured her mother she would get through this again.  Our sweet girl fought with more strength and courage than we have ever seen.  She lit up every room she was in with her loving spirit and caring for all.  Even during her last days she was asking the nurses about their jobs and what part of the field she wanted to get into.  Stephanie never gave and up never stopped fighting.  Sadly God felt that her battle was done and it was time for her to meet her daddy again.
