Our deepest sympothy to the family and fiance of Stephanie.
She was so loving, caring, and gentle with my babies. We developed a friendship over the years.
Stephanie loved all of my pets especially Jayla our tiny toy poodle and said she always looked forward to grooming her and that she was one of her favorites. Jayla was just a couple of months old when Stephanie started grooming her and now she is almost 9 years old. Bella (Yorkie-Poo) is Jayla''s puppy (now 3yrs old) and took to Stephanie instantly. Chino (Shitzu-Chi mix) is the baby (now 2yrs. old) and was the most difficult to groom but Stephanie had him to the point where he was calm during the process. Just a testament to Stephanies love and care.
We will miss her so very much- Jayla, Bella,Chino, & Lanna Sheaffer

Words really can''t express the sadness in my heart. Stephanie was an amazing woman who touched many people''s lives. She lived by example and freely shared her experience, strength and hope with all who wanted it. Her legacy will continue to live on through the countless others that she has helped. I feel very blessed that I was able to get to know Stephanie. She was a true friend and I will never forget her. She helped make me the person that I am today and I will be forever grateful.
Randy, Michael and Alex - you will continue to be in my prayers.

Stephanie was a woman of courage, faith, and love. She inspired me in one of my darkest moments and continued to do so with our friends of Bill W. online Women''s group.
I was fortunate enough to meet her one time while I was in Indiana. Her humor could bring me to giggles and I will never forget her. The pride she took in her family and job was a power of example to me. I miss her everyday.
My prayers go out to all of her friends and family.
God Bless
