My deepest condolences to Stephanie’s entire family. So hard to think of any words that can bring comfort to those mourning her loss. I will always see Stephanie as this wide eyed sweet and shy little girl in pigtails that looked up to her big sister and followed us around at church engagements at St. Olaf in Devils Lake. Obviously a very long time ago but a sweet memory that comes to mind. May all of your memories be as endearing and bring a source of comfort in your time of grief.
