Debbra, I was so sorry to hear of your Daughter's passing. I did not know her but I felt like I did though Cindy. She must have been a lovely, remarkable, special person according to the Guest Book condolances. I have met you at Cindy's at the lake. My heart goes out to you and your little Grandaughter. I just want you to always remember that GOD PICKS THE VERY BEST  AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS FOR HIS GARDEN. I will continue to pray for God to comfort you and your family during this time.

I didn't know your lovely daughter but heard nothing but wonderful things about her from Ashley and Julie Rivera. My heart breaks for you and your grand baby. You have been and will remain in my prayers. I know words are just that but know they come from my heart. God Bless you and Fayth

Debbra,
I can not imagine what you are going through and all the feelings you are experiencing right now .... and no one really can. Words simply do not do it justice and everyone's experience is as unique as Stephanie was. As overwhelming as things may seem right now, some very positive things will eventually come from this. Fayth will forever have an angel watching over her. Young children are remarkably resilient after these events. Keep her focused on the positives in life, as we all know you can, and she will stun us all one day with how well she comes out of this. Try not to make sense of this right now because attempts for a rational explanation will only bring more frustration and pain because we can not see the big picture through the fog. Be strong like we know you can, do not be discouraged by the "bad days" that you will go through in the upcoming months, relish the beautiful images in your mind of Stephanie and you will get through this. You and Fayth and everyone else involved will be in our daily thoughts and prayers. May the good Lord and Holy Spirit watch over you, bless you and nourish you with the vital strength you need to keep going from one day to the next.  Take care and let me know whenever I can help or you need a good listener.

Debbra,
You are stronger than you can imagine, braver than you know and cared about so much more than words can say. Stephanie was a beautiful, vibrant young lady who lived life to the fullest for all of us. She will live on in Fayth and in the hearts of everyone who loved her or had had the pleasure of knowing her. If there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to call me.
Stephanie,
Thank you for Fayth. Thank you for loving Chris. We will miss you!!!

Its so crazy to think you will never see someone you grew up with ever again. I remember the sleepovers at your house and water balloon fights in your front yard when we were younger. I'm so used to running into stephanie randomly and catching up on everything going on. She was always a sweet girl. I can't tell you how sorry I am that she is gone. I wish we had remained close through the years. I'm so sorry for your loss Ms. Debra. Fayth is a beautiful little girl and you're blessed to have her with you now. I'm sure she will be a great person just like Steph.

Debra, 
Be still and know that He is God.  I will be praying for you and your entire family during this time.  I ran into Steph back in December and invited her to come to church with me on Christmas Eve.  What a blessing she was to you and all who knew her.  If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to call.  My heartfelt and deepest sympathies go out to you.
