"Steffy's big sister.....you were always so kind to me when I spent the night in high school. I remember you always had a project going or seemed to be doing something with your hands. I admired and looked up to you. You were smart and funny, a great witty sense of humor. You, Tom and your dad all made me laugh, made your house a lot of fun. You were the wise one. It was obvious you would be someone others admired and looked to for leadership. I know your little sister, Stef did. You will be dearly missed as you are dearly loved. Farewell, dear girl. Much love, Little John Denver"
