We are very sad to hear of Steph's death. Having known her from birth until now, we know she could fight a good fight. She was a wonderful child and adult. May she now rest in peace with her dad. He was so proud of the family.No more pain-no more tears. May God bless and comfort Tina & Heather. We are sorry that we were unavailable to attend the funeral.

Jodi and I are so sorry for your loss. We know these words do not come close to bringing you comfort, but we share your pain. Our daughter lost her battle with CF at age 30 in 2009. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. Stephanie touched my heart one afternoon at IVRC. While I didn't know her well, I am sure that, although a light has dimmed on earth, a bright new star is shining in Heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with William and family.
