My earliest memories of my Aunt Stephanie revolve around family get togethers. It could be meeting out at the Karpiak Farm, a graduation party or holiday celebrations--"Stootsie" was always happy and the life of the party. With her beloved husband Uncle Phil by her side, they were certainly the "dynamic duo" of our extended family! Later Aunt Stephanie made a special bond with our son Rick, who loved her dearly.

Both she and Uncle Phil will be sorely missed, but are now in a happier place with the Lord.
