Sympathy to you and your family at this time of sorrow. So many warm and caring thoughts are there with you today.

My God it is sad when good people leave us...but I know she is now in the same great place my brother is in! Steph was a great person that really had a great impact on my life...and I am thankful I got to know Stephanie like I did! My thoughts are with Nadine, Marty, Charles and the rest of the family.

To Stephanies family,

We were so sorry to see of Stephs passing here at the sjr. We often wondered where she was and how she was and hoped she was doing well somewhere! Please know that our thoughts are with you.

Words can't explain the sorrow for the Rhine, Stottler familys and Stephanie's friends. I have and always had a special place in my heart for you.Sometimes you find that person that inpacked your life in one point or another that was you. You gave me strength in times when I needed it the most I have never forgot that. Rest in peace my dear sweet friend I love you.

Uncle Charlie, Aunt Nadine and Marty, may you find comfort in fond memories of Stephanie. She may be gone physically, but she will never be forgotten in any of our hearts. I love you all!

This is really hard......to find the words to describe the sadness I feel right now. Stephanie and I spent alot of time together in grade school and high school. We had lots of great memories. I know she had her struggles, but she is no longer suffering now. Nadine, I pray that God give you strength in the days ahead and that your memories of Stephanie will bring you comfort. God Bless you.

It's with a numb mind and saddened heart that I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that Stephanie is gone. I know we hadn't kept in touch for several years and that she struggled with many demons. For that I am deeply sorry. She was big part of my life for many years. I have wonderful memories of her that I will cherish always. I remember riding around with her and her cousin, Christy, doing things we probably shouldn't have been doing at that age and then racing around in cousin, Joe's, truck listening to Motley Crue. Then there was our fascination with the 1984 men's gymnastic team (i.e. Mitch Gaylord). I smile with a tear running down as I remember these wonderful childhood memories. Rest in peace, my friend. You don't have to struggle anymore.

I am so sorry for your loss. We are deeply saddened. I waited tables with Steph for years at Art's. We had a lot of good times. May God be with you all at this time and comfort you.

Christina Peper-Lacy and Family

Words cannot express the sadness I feel. Peace be with you all.

Steph, you are loved and will be missed!!!!! Rest now in peace my friend!!!!!

I had so many laughs and good times with Stephanie. It feels like it was just yesterday. I am saddend by the news. She is such a great person. I am sorry for your loss.

It was amazing when we reconnected after 20 years. Our lives had taken twists and turns, yet our mutual struggle is what bonded us together. I love you. I cherish the time we spent together. I want you to know that I am doing well. You would be proud of me....almost a year. You gave me the encouragement and strength, you understood me, and I understood you. Mom told me that God takes the most pretty flowers...you are now at peace, no more pain, your stuggles are gone, and in my heart you remain. Love ya girl.

I didn't know your daughter Stephanie, but I am sure that she was a wonderful person. We are truly sorry for your loss. I want you to know that your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We will pray for strength to be given to each of you in the days to come.

I am so terribly saddened to hear of your passing. My heart is hurting for your entire family and those that loved you.

I'll remember the good times we had running all around town in grade school and junior high, listening to 80s music, emulating Madonna and trying to avoid (often unsuccessfully) getting into trouble with our mothers! Also summer 1995 when I was the world's worst waitress at Norb Andy's and you repeatedly helped me out. You were always so loyal and helpful with a killer sense of humor, it makes me smile to remember that.

You will be missed! My deepest condolences to the Rhine and Stottler families.
