Oh I knew stephanie from feral gas, and she also did my hair. Her and I would constantly talk about family, friends and work. I went to ireland she would watch our dogs and even stayed at our house when we went to ireland. She was the sweetest greatest person I have ever met her heart. We're so pure. She used to worry that she would never find someone. Because she always wanted to have children. As my chili was disappointed when she moved to montana.I was very happy when she finally met someone and started a family. Life got in the way we lost touch. But I will never forget how sweet she was. And I'm sure her children will be just so sweet. Is she had been to everyone. Rest in peace, Stephanie. You were taken away way too. Young and you had so much more to give. Prayers to your family, especially the children, your husband and Samantha. I know you'll watch over them all.

Stephanie and I became friends when she lived in Kansas City and worked for Ferrellgas. She was a joy to work with and brought humor to the workplace. When she moved back to Montana, we remained in touch via email. I always enjoyed receiving pictures of her children and hearing the craziness of her personal life and work balance. Humor was always a part of her emails. My heart aches for Troy and the children and all of us who knew Stephanie. But SHE knew God had a plan for her, and even though the plan may not have ended the way we would have desired, Stephanie is safe in the arms of Jesus. May this knowledge bring comfort to all of her family and friends during this time of grieving.

You all know how I know Stephanie. She had a smile that lit up the room and a gutsy determination that got her where she wanted to go. As her 4-H leader and family friend we spent some time together. She was a fiesty little burger and a talented horsewoman. The world lost a beautiful soul when Stephanie left us. If I could take your pain and carry it for each of you, I would. You all know you are in my heart and prayers. I will keep Stephanie in my heart and mind till I join her. Then we will have Monday nite lessons forever!

I’m so sad to hear this news. Stephanie and I were in the same grade and graduated together in 2003 from Sidney. I remember us being in science class together sitting at the same table our senior year. She was always a sweetheart to me and we had alot of laughs. Deepest condolences to everyone in Stephanie’s family. May she rest in peace.

Stephanie and I worked together at Ferrellgas and spent countless hours playing volleyball together. Her happiness was contagious and she was always making friends and including them in our social gatherings thus expanding my circle. I feel blessed that I got to spend time with her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. She will be missed.

My heart goes out to her family, especially her precious children, who are suffering such a great loss. For all who have been touched by her presence, we are lucky to have known her. I only knew her for a short time but definitely agree with her memorial stating she could make friends anywhere. I felt this warmth when I first met her. Her presence will be missed but live on by her imprint she has left. Her wings were earned!

My dear cousin, Kathy, I'm so sorry to hear about Stephanie! When our parents saw each other at the Sidney 4H house show so many years ago, we had no idea what a blessing it was going to be connecting with you & your family! Karli & Steph had some good times together. May Jesus hold you close & give you lasting memories of sweet Stephanie!
