I miss you Steff. I will visit more often. I did shake the package today, lol. You knew I would, it's just our thing. Thanks for hangin around now and then. What funny memories you bring up. Like the humungous cow, that was pretty funny. You & your big words. Jamie's quilt turned out aweseom , she loved it . Made her cry but she loves it and knows she is muchly appreciated for her acts of kindness. I love you snuffy.

I always have this site open and running on my tablet. i just turn off the sound so i can hear the tv or whatever. This morning at 4 am (and last week too) the sound turned itself on! This morning it started with "Gone too soon". last week it started with "amazing grace". there is no other explanation than Stef turning it on! Thank you Stef for the wake up alarm this morning! I know you are visiting me and I still smell you when you're around! Feel free to continue to show me signs! i love you and miss you so much!

we love you and miss you Stefi!! so very much!

I am thankful that you gave me 10 years of life with you Stef! Thank you for sharing that time with me! I love you!

our fav song to sing together when she was a teenager was coal mine by the Judds. It was great fun. Neither of us could hold a tune lol but we had fun.

Whenever we would receive a package in the mail from Steff she would draw and doodle all over it. We always knew by the drawings who it was from. It was the same with her letters.Steff was quite an accomplished doddler. Miss you muches Snuffy. You are so loved daughter.

I will let you know that I'm not gone

Sending you signs from Heaven above

But you must always be watchful

And remember those things 'I loved'

Maybe a tune on the radio

Or a familar fragrance or sound

Those moments you feel 'You are not alone'

I just want you to know I'm around

Never be scared of 'My Spirit'

In life I would never harm you

It's exactly the same here in Heaven

Frightening isn't something I'd do

My messages of love will be subtle

Just to remind you I'll always care

You can talk to me as you always did

And know that I'm listening somewhere

I will truly miss you today stef with out your sarcasm why broncos beat your 49ers or as you would say donkeys in know your up there cheering

I will forever be grateful to Stef. The way she stepped up to the plate and helped our family when we lost my Aunt Kathy. Stef you took it upon yourself to make a beautiful tribute to Kathy for everyone in the family. You comforted not only Mark but all of us. Thank you for your support and love. When I heard you had passed my heart ached for you and Mark. You will be missed.please give Kathy a big hug! Continue to watch over Mark! We love and miss you

I remember Stephanie from work (Teleperformance) and was crushed when I found out through a former coworker that she had passed. It really bothers me to think that she is gone. I felt like Stef always made it a point to say "Hi" and went out of her way to talk to me at work. She let me know that she was proud of me when I got my promotion and when I left the department we were in, she was honestly one of the main reasons I found myself wandering back to the Google area to have small talk and see how things were going. My departure from work was almost sudden and I didn't have much of a chance to say goodbye to many people. One of the last memories (more than likely last) i had of her was her asking me if I had any sortof "pull" to get her with a decent supervisor when she was being moved to another project. If it were anyone else I would have went along with it and ultimately done nothing. But Stef was different, I did everything I could to make sure the right people were involved in making her request happen. It was only a matter of days from that point that I was no longer employed with the company. I don't know what the final outcome was but I really wish I would have been able to tell her "Thanks" and "Goodbye". Damn, if I'm feeling like this, I can only imagine the empty space that resides with her family. Sorry for your loss. Thanks for the memories, Stef!

EDIT: I didn't have a mother growing up and I looked to many women (including those I worked with) as a mother figure in any shape or form. Stef was definitely one of those women I considered as an example to look up to and follow and used as a form of comfort, whether she knew it or not. I feel that a part of her will always dwell inside of me and I am forever grateful to have met her.

most of these pics on here were taken by Stef and they were at living planet aquarium on her birthday weekend in July. we went to Joes crab shack(her fav place) after. we had a great time that day! i is a great memory i have of her. she really loved touching the rays! thank you Stef for those good memories!

in 2008, Stef and i went to a Firehouse concert at the Ogden amphitheater and love of a lifetime was our favorite song there! the lead guitarist from Airial flung a guitar pick right at Stef and she saved it and used it to try and learn the guitar! I truely did find the love of a lifetime in Stef! i love you Stef!

Stef always believed that those loved ones who had passed before us would be watching over us in the after life. to the point that she would even talk to them, saying "ok grandma, i hear you"! every now and then i get a faint smell of Stef. i know she is with me and is watching over me. sometimes She just lets me know she is near. thank you for that Stef! i love you!

I have noticed for awhile now while we run errands or are out and about I see a lady with her hair pulled up like Stef would have her hair. Sometimes it is so close ... the color, the lady height, the way she stands or her hand jesters......... I have to take a double take. Stef could not talk and not use her hands. Hold her hands .... she would use her feet. MIss that. MIss you Stef. Love you Snuffy

Hey Stef say hello to Bob Marley for me. ( read the story )

when i first met Stef she would always crank up red neck woman in her truck and sing to it too! she was always soo much fun to be around and be with! her free spirit will always be remembered in my heart! i love you Stefi!!

there ya go Stefi!!!!! I got your song uploaded! Stef would Crank this song up every time it came on the radio and sing it at the top of her lungs!! it was quite fun with the windows rolled down in the car at stop lights! she didn't even care when people would look over and laugh! I love miss you Stefi!

Whenever we drove somewhere together, with me driving, Stef would wave at all of the people in the cars we passed or passed us! Sometimes they would wave back smiling and she would get so excited and laugh and clap hers hands! She enjoyed that so much it would make the rest of laugh too! I will miss hearing your laugh Stefi! Even though I can still hear it in my memories!

Stef would always try to have fun doing something at home. We would sit outside in the evenings at the picnic table and draw with all of her sharpies on the table! There were so many cool drawings from her and the kids! It was great!

missing my quilting friend. Stef was just learning. She has made 5 lap quilts in the last yeat or so. We had a lot of quilty conversations and plans. Stef had so many great creative ideas. I miss our planning together. We were gonna rock the quilty world, well maybe just our own :) . Miss you Snuffy.

I met you Stef a year and a half ago when I started dating Bob. I fell in love with you instantly. It broke my heart the first time you cried because i didn't know you well enough then, and I had brought over my whole family. We talked and I grew to know you for you. Just so you know my kids fell in love with you also. We had some great chats. In fact you are the first one I told that I truly loved Bob. But sadly it is different for him. I loved my special lap blanket you made for me.

Found some pictures of when Stef was a toddler. Stef & Jen both. They were both so dang cute. Stef was quite the ham. Cameras fascinated her. Photographers liked taking her picture and always commented on how photogenic she was. Quite a walk down memory lane.

I was just thinking today with the news of snow in Canada and Colorado.... In 1976 I worked at a potato company sorting them. I walked to and from work. Stef was 4 and Jen 3. I would bundle them up and I had a snow disc I pulled them on to & from the sitters house. In warmer weather the girls would run to each corner and wait until I got to that corner. After crossing the street Stef & Jen would run to the next corner. A lot of the times holding hands. Stef would always stop for Jen if she tripped and helped her up. Jen often tripped. :)  Stef & Jen loved the snow disc and they loved running to each next corner.

We had a phone call rule that if I couldn't answer at work to call 3 times in a row, and I would know it was an emergency. One time, I couldn't answer for a while, so on the 9th call I answered! The emergency was a really good deal on a purse! Lol...I was in trouble because the last purse sold right before I answered! We found a different one for her but not at such a great deal! Worth it to get out of the dog house! I love you stef!

I can't begin to come close to say how much you are missed and loved Stef.I loved our talks and texting. Oh my gosh you were so funny so uplifting. Your love of animals was immeasurable. I remember one time in particular you saw a hurt kitten some one had hit with their car by accident. It was at night so no veterinarian offices were open in your town. You stopped and wrapped the kitten up and took it to a human hospital just sobbing. Of course they couldn't treat the kitten which made you cry more. It comforted you to know in the last minutes of the little kittens life it knew it was loved, it mattered and someone cared about it. I miss you so much Snuffy. You left far too soon girlie. Good luck on your new journey . Pop in now and then. Love you lots gonna miss you so much

As the north wind blows, so shall you follow my love!
