May Her Memory Be Eternal
Thea Stephanie was a blessing
I am heartbroken by the loss of my beloved friend. She was a big sister to me and Thea to my kids. My Mother, of blessed memory, adored her. They were kindred spirits. I know she is finally pain free for which I am grateful. May you rest in eternal peace, my friend.❤
I loved and still love and will miss as a dear best friend. I moved from Philadelphia to Chicago 25 years ago and she was the first genuine friend I ever had. We worked together at Bloomingdales and went out to lunches and dinners. Stephanie always put her friends before her she had a heart that would not stop loving and caring. Stephanie I know you are in a better world then we have now and out pain and misery GOD BLESS YOU not matter where you may be.
Stephanie was a very kind compassionate filled with empathy faith hope and love
Even when she was going thru her worst days her positive attitude towards life her support for others her kind words and her empathy was who she was
What an amazing human being a great friend and coworker she was to me in Bloomingdales
I am so happy that she is called by the almighty to be with him in the eternal home filled with love and peace
I was lucky to have her as a friend
May her soul Rest In Peace
Love luke
I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear of Stephanie’s passing, so soon after my brother John’s death. What a terribly sad week. Stephanie was such a wonderful person, dedicated to her family and church. I always enjoyed seeing and talking to her. I will miss her very much as will her family and church family at St. Andrew’s. My deepest sympathy and prayers to her sister Marilyn and her entire family. God Bless her memory. Both she and my brother are now at peace, reunited with their parents.
