Kim, We are so very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and sending our sympathy.
This is a shock. I didn’t really even know them. I was at the casino about a month ago I must have had a bewildered look on my face and this sweet woman who I had never met came to me and started talking. I think she could tell that first I had no idea what I was doing and that I was alone. And this beautiful soul took time out to talk to me and honestly treat me like a person. She was so kind we ended up sitting and talking most of the evening. Such a down to earth genuine person. People are not like that these days. But she took time out of what she was doing to make another human being comfortable. She didn’t have to do that. I suspect that is just who she is by nature. She had an impact on me. I recently left a domestic violence relationship and I have been alone. No friends always by myself. What she did for me that night had a lasting impact. A total stranger and she will never know what she did for me by just being kind. I am so sorry for your loss. This world is definitely dimmer without her in it. I will think of her always. And I will definitely pay the kindness forward and honor her memory by being compassionate to others. So very sad. Prayers to her family
Kim…..I am so very sorry your daughter has passed. Lifting you and your family in prayer for strength and understanding in this most difficult time and always. May your memories bring you comfort and peace.
Steph was fun, beautiful, funny, and caring. I have the most random memory of being with her and Lindsey; belting out Mariah Carey songs and doing gymnastics in her basement. Her memory is of a positive, vibrant life, and that forever lives on. My heart goes out to her whole family.
