On Saturday August 17th, while in her sleep at home, our precious Stori passed on to eternal life.  Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful, sweet girl.  Stori fought her cancer with grace, courage and dignity.  We pray for her and for all of those who are affected by this insidious disease.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to The Hospice and Palliative Care Center of Mitchell County, 236 Hospital Drive, Spruce Pine, N.C. 28777.  Thank you for all of the prayers, support and heartfelt condolences.

My dear Stori, with empty heart I am sitting here at home and have vivid memories of our fun times together. Come not to grasp, that I can't speak to you anymore, or get together as we did so many times. It's hard for me to accept that, and it leaves me sad and lonely, that my very true friend is no longer with us. Missing you and crying my eye out. Love always, Hedda

I love you and miss you,  sweet, beautiful cousin.  I can't believe it's been 5 years. I have a collection of your cards and letters that I treasure, along with so many wonderful memories. Though we miss you deeply, I am so thankful you're in no more pain, but, it's an eternal joy you're experiencing,  which could never be explained here on earth.

Allow me to celebrate your Birthday, dear Stori.

Every day I celebrate you and know, that you feel that connection up in heaven. You are very close to me in my heart and I feel your presence often.

Like when the birds are singing, I hear your voice, reminding me of the beautiful times we could share together. Other artifacts and pictures from the past surrounding me to give you an honorable place in my home and heart.

Love always, your friend

A STORI OF LIFE LIVED RIGHT

October 26, 2013

 

 

A Stori of Life Lived Right

 

As we move through life… we set rules and goals.

How to live… how to love… THE RIGHT WAY.

Our legacy is created by learning... Living... and loving.

Knowing right from wrong is the base… and execution the path.

As actions speak louder than words… how we act is the key.

Successful application will result in

A Life Lived Right

 

The thoughts of people Stori impacted represent a picture of our girl.

We experienced her presence… felt the peace, the love, the competiveness…

The beauty, the smile, the strength… the grace, and the compassion.

The ability to have a positive approach toward the challenges of life.

No time to feel sorrow and despair.

A Life Lived Right

 

A love story second to none evolved with Stori and Jon.

Jon helped give Stori the strength to live life.

Two became one to live and love… and compete with the challenges of life.

Positiveness was the goal… and each gave strength to the other as needed.

Sweety and Honey….   What a team.

Two Lives Lived Right

 

We gather today to celebrate Stori.

Relatives… friends… and most important… Stori’s “honey”.

Her companion… her advocate… and her protector.

Stori is here… and is asking us all to celebrate her life.

She is asking us to take care of each other

Do good deeds and think of her as we do them.

Following her example will help us all experience…

Life Lived Right
