Happy Birthday!! We will toast you with a few beverages and smile remembering all the great times. Cheers! We miss you.
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.

Remembering my lovely sweet sister today and knowing my parents and siblings and her loving husband are missing her as I am. I know she would want us to celebrate her life and the memory of knowing her when she was healthy and enjoying her blessed life that Jonathon provided for them. They truly lived a wonderful life the short time she was here and she was very thankful God had blessed them with the ability to live that life.

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
