I am very sorry for your loss.
Even though I hadn't worked with Stephanie very long at High Point, I feel I have lost a good friend. She went out of her way, especially when I first started, to make me feel comfortable. And she always made herself available if I needed help (which was a lot)!
Stephanie took a lot of pleasure in her grandchildren, who were often a topic of our conversations. I also recall recently when we were looking out the window behind her desk at a large group of swans. I think seeing them was the highlight of her day- she truly appreciated everything.
You know she was someone special because of the difficulty everyone is having coming to terms with the news.
In closing, I'd like to add that I tend to give people nicknames, and I called her "Sunshine," which she said she liked because someone had called her that years ago. I hope the sun is shining where she is.
