Jonathan and Margaret Myers We were privileged to have Stephanie as our friend and neighbour for eight years. Among our fondest memories of Larkdowne are the smiles and kind words with which Stephanie greeted our son Evan as he learned to walk up stairs by using her front steps (a thousand times); her frequent stops by with Vickie and Bonnie bearing gifts from her garden; and her Christmas gathering of neighbours. With all our relatives far away in Ontario, Stephanie’s kindness and friendship enriched our lives and truly made her a member of our Victoria family. We will miss you Stephanie. Love Evan, Owen, Brennan, Margaret and Jonathan Myers.

Alene Frederiksen I was saddened to read of Stephanie’s passing. She always had a smile and “big hello” when we crossed paths in BC Tel.
Your love and generosity towards others were unmatched. You will be missed by everyone who knew you. Your Bonnie will surely always remind me of you with a smile. RIP my sweet friend, may you be pain-free in a healthy body again. I am sure Vicky was waiting to lick your face at the Bridge along with all your other Boston Babies gone before her. You are so missed.
