You always had words of encouragement at just the right moment. I loved talking with you . We always had a good laugh. You loved your boy’s with all your heart. you were so proud of them. I will never forget you. I’ll see you again one day. I love you Stephie ….Cindy

May peace and rest be with you my beautiful granddaughter Stephanie Jo “Sissy” I love you with all my heart and have countless memories I cherish of you.

You were so glad to be here, and I might add so was your mama! We laughed and cried so happy inside. Now I say, “I’ll be seeing you in all the familiar places”, see your smiling face, and when I’m gazing at the moon and stars, I’ll be seeing you! Your loving grandma N
