No Title

I don't have much to say, I'm up too late and my mid is wandering. I was one of the lucky people that got to have Stephanie in my life. Six years seems too few to have been able to spend with her, but they were great years. Even the last two as I watched her suffer and fight a terrible disease. Her spirit, drive, and faith taught me so much about life. Every day continues to bring challenges as I struggle with grief and continuing on. I miss Stephanie, but I am glad she never has to worry about pain again. I only hope that I can pass her memory, her faith, her spirit, and her strength on to all those whose paths I cross.

Grace and Peace.

Good to hear from you, I've been worried about you. It must be so hard for you Warner, to be moving on in life without your beloved Steph. You'll have her love always but I know that must be cold comfort sometimes. You're in the thoughts and hearts of everyone who followed her blog, even those of us who never knew her or you. She wouldn't want you to be in pain, she loved you too much. That doesn't ease it for you, but do remember how very much she loved you.

I'm glad you posted - I think of you often and wonder how you're doing. You're walking a difficult road - and have walked one for a while now.

Hi Warner! I check Vicki Dees' blog several times a day and check to see if you had updated yours. I have thought about you alot and wondered how you were doing. I never met you or Stephanie but sent notes and comments during her illness. You could feel the love she had for you through the blog. Praying that God wraps His arms around you,giving you peace and strength! How are the boys? Would love to see pics of them as well as some of Stephanie's pictures she took. Love on you boys for me! HUGS FROM ARKANSAS!

Hi Warner,

I was glad to see that you posted again. We haven't forgotten you nor Stephanie. Yes, she was truly an amazing girl, and yet she's more alive today than ever before. God understands everything you've been going through, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Praying for you tonight and thankful that God brought you and Stephanie into our lives. We especially got to know and love Stephanie deeper as she went through her illness, and she truly brought glory to God.

All your friends at Sager would love to see you again if you're ever able to visit.

In Jesus' love,
Diane (for Dale, too)

Hey Warner,

Saw your note on Vicki's website and wanted to say hello. I know each day is a reminder of how much you loved Stephanie and she loved you. Did you know that as much as you love each other....God loves you even more??
How are the "boys"? Hope you have a great week. Stay cool! HUGS FROM ARKANSAS!

Warner, It was good to see you at Kyle and Dawn's wedding.

You will always be part of our church family, and your dear sweet Stephanie will always be in our hearts, too.

Thanking God for both of you, and praying for you tonight.

She was and is a great person. I didn't get to know Stephanie all that well except for the time you all were at Sager, but I still reflect on her attitude often. Some of her comments from her blog still challenge me today. Praying for you today, Warner. Blessings to you. nancy jackson
