I was so sorry to hear about Stephanie’s passing. She and I went to Welland High School together. We always enjoyed our time at school. Stephanie and I really had a good time in Miss Metler’s French class. Unfortunately, we didn’t learn a lot of French in that class, but we made up for it the next year.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I was very saddened to hear of Stephanie’s passing. I knew Stephanie through the love of our Bernese Mountain Dogs and spent many an hour with both David and Stephanie at dog shows. She was a tremendous person with such a zest for life and she had the heartiest laugh and was a gentle soul. She will be missed tremendously by all who knew her.
My sincere condolences to David and their family and friends, and I send all my love to you in your time of need.
Hugs for you all.

Dear Dave,
I’m so very sorry to hear of Stephanie’s passing.You & Steph were two of my very first friends in Berners. Always available with help & encouragement & kindness – especially with our beloved Alex & Raven babies so very long ago in 1987. Time sure has flown since then. I hope that Steph is with Alex & Toady (Julia?) & all your other Berners at the Rainbow Bridge. I am sending you love & hugs at this sad sad time.

Dear Dave
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Stephanie was a nursing classmate of mine. She drove some of us to our last reunion in Niagara. That was the occasion that you kindly parked my car until the weekend was over in your yard. We had a wonderful time and all enjoyed her company. She will be sadly missed by the Class of 61.
With Sympathy

I’m grateful for her friendship and will miss reliving and laughing with her about some of the ‘experiences’ of the Class of ’61.
With my deepest sympathy and fond memories.

Dave,
We are very sorry to hear of Stephanie’s passing. Over the years at the dog shows and other events we have enjoyed both of your company and your advise and guidance through many years we were involved in the dog shows. It was always a treat to sit and talk to Stephanie at the show ring as she marked her catalog and tracked who, was who.
We will miss her greatly and wish to express our deepest sympathy to you and the rest of your family.
