    Stefanie. You came into my life at a time I needed you desperately. You made me grow up and become a better person for knowing you. After all we have gone thru you were still my best friend, my sister, a part of my family forever. You were such a bright light in this dark world and it was an honor to have you in my life. I love and miss you Stefanie. Till we meet again.
