I just found out about Stephanie's passing and I'm devastated. I knew her back in Timmins, and we reconnected on Facebook a few years ago so that was the only way I knew her as an adult, but what a lovely woman she was. Witty, sharp, her love of knowledge and learning (and grammar!) and diving were nothing compared to the love and pride she felt for her family that she constantly displayed, through pictures and comments. And the dog!
I was astounded by her generosity. She contributed to my half-sister's online campaign to raise funds for a new house when hers was devastated by a flood last summer. Stephanie didn't know my half-sister and she only knew me from elementary school. What a huge heart she had. We talked on the phone once, and it cemented the fact that I admired her. I always thought we would catch up one day in Toronto at her favourite Spanish restaurant. I am so sad I waited too long. So incredibly sad. To Gregory and Declan and Sarah and all of Stephanie's family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss.
