Stefanie had a sense a humor that only her family and friends could understand. Stefanie' s favorite thing to do was dance. She had such grace and beauty. She felt free as a butterfly when she danced.  She always felt that she was a butterfly and could sail on forever. Stefanie was loved by everyone who knew her and cherished by her family. She grew into a beautiful young woman, her life was just beginning. Stefanie had a lot of trials and tribulations throughout her life, but she was a fighter and managed to get through them. She went out of her way to help others. She brightened up every room that she entered. Stefanie will be greatly missed by all. Stefanie was a 2003 graduate of Honeoye Central and a 2006 graduate of RBI, with a degree in Accounting. She was very proud of her accomplishments.  Stefanie's life was tragically taken from us by the hands of another on June 11th, 2006. I talked to her over ten times on the 10th of June, but when she failed to come home I knew that something was wrong. She would not do that without calling & letting someone know, especially me. Stefanie and I had a speical bond as I do with my other two daughters. People kept telling me she was fine & would be home. I knew differnet, I could feel the sadness & emptiness that only a mother could feel. I knew that my Stefanie would never walk through the doors of my life again. We searched & searched for her. We hung missing posters up all over the place, hoping someone would come forward and tell us where she was. Little did I imagine that someone would take her life. After he killed her, he placed her into her car & drove her & just left her. I never had to chance to see my Stefanie again, because they would not allow me to. No matter how much I begged to see her, so I could hold her, kiss her one last time and to tell her how very much I love you.  All they kept telling me was remember her as she was. They did not understand that I did not care, I just wanted to hold her. She had been in her car for 3 hot days. I will be forever broken. I love you Stefanie Suzanne, forever & foralways!!
