Scott, Tina, Brandie and Mandy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother especially at such a young age. I don’t keep track of much of what happens in Hillsboro except for what the folks tell me. Paul H told me Christmas morning when we were at my brother’s.
My sincere sympathy. Take care.

She was a very nice woman that I have met and became my grandmother through marring her grandson. The times I have met her, she was so beautiful and acting like she was in her teens again or at least a young adult where she could do anything she wanted to do. She was strong and brave and always cheered up the family when things were down. She was a strong fighter and I will never forget how she never gives up until she knew it was time to give in. She was just a lovely woman and I will never forget her. I have to thank her for accepting me into the family and take me in like if I was her own granddaughter.
MENNO SDMy sister Steph is already missed by so many. She was a great mother, grandmother, and sister.She’s always had a positive attitude, right up to the end. She is an inspiration.REST IN PEACE

To Scott & Tina,
My heart goes out to you. I know you loved and will miss your Mom very much. Be comforted by 2 Corinthians 5:8, To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Steph was a very strong woman. She went through a lot of ups and downs in the eight years she had cancer, and still managed to do alot of the things that she loved to do, and I admire her for that. I always liked that she said what was on her mind, whether you liked it or not. She loved her family very much. Being her son in law, she treated me just like one of her own from the day we met. Steph will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. RIP Steph, we will always love you!

I hate to see her go, but I know she is in a better place without any pain or suffering. We will all miss you grandma, and the memories of what you did in life will never disappear from our minds as you will never disappear from our thoughts.
