Stephanie Walker

MEMORIAM TO STEPHANIE ANN WALKER:


FOR THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW STEPH PERSONALLY AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAD THE BRIEF PLEASURE OF MEETING HER, SHE WAS A GOD SEND TO SO MANY.
I DON'T THINK THAT A PERSON COULD HAVE LOVED THEIR FAMILY MORE THAN STEPH LOVED HERS.

STEPH LOVED TO COOK, AND ONE OF HER FAVORITE THINGS TO COOK WAS GREENS AND HAM HOCKS, WITH CORN BREAD AND FRIED CHICKEN. SHE WAS ALSO A LOVER OF FISH, AND TURKEY WINGS.

MOST OF YOU KNEW STEPH HAD BEEN FIGHTING CANCER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
THE DOCTORS TOLD HER WE GIVE YOU 6 MONTHS, BUT GOD IS GOOD AND DOES THINGS IN HIS OWN TIME AND HE ALLOWED HER TO STAY WITH US FOR 2 YEARS AND ABOUT 8 MONTHS.

AFTER A LONG AND HARD FIGHT, AND GIVING IT EVERTHING THAT SHE HAD, STEPHANIE ANN WALKER PASSED AWAY ON JUNE 6, 2008 AT 3:30 A.M. WITH LOVED ONES BY HER SIDE.

STEPHANIE ANN WALKER:::::
BORN JANUARY 17, 1951 WAS ANOTHER ONE OF GOD'S SPECIAL PEOPLE.
SHE NEVER MET A STRANGER AND HAD A HEART OF GOLD.
SHE WOULD GIVE HER LAST TO THOSE IN NEED. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE IN NEED. IF SHE THOUGHT YOU NEEDED SOMETHING AND SHE HAD IT YOU COULD GET IT. THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL A GIVING HEART AND THE FATHER LOVES THAT IN HIS CHILDREN.

STEPH ALWAYS SPOKE LOVINGLY ABOUT HER FAMILY; CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, GREATGRANDCHILDREN, AND SIBLINGS.
ANYONE ON THIS EARTH WOULD HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE SPENT 1 MINUTE WITH THIS WOMAN.
SHE NOW FLOATS IN HEAVEN WITH THE FATHER, WHERE THERE IS NO PAIN, OR SORROW.
KEEPING HER IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS, HER KINDNESS AND JOY WILL SPREAD THROUGH US AND ALLOW US TO ALWAYS REMEMBER ALL OF THE SPECIAL THINGS ABOUT HER.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN AND FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE.
HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON HIS EARTH AND SAW YOUR LOVING FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIFTED YOU TO REST.
HIS GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL, HE ALWAYS TAKES THE BEST.
HE KNEW YOU WERE SUFFERING; HE KNEW YOU WERE IN PAIN.
HE KNEW YOU WOULD NEVER GET WELL ON THIS EARTH AGAIN.
HE SAW YOUR PATH WAS DIFFICULT, SO HE CLOSED YOUR TIRED EYES.
HE WHISPERED TO YOU "PEACE BE WITH YOU" AND GAVE YOU WINGS TO FLY.
WHEN WE SAW YOU SLEEPING, SO CALM AND FREE OF PAIN.
WE KNEW THAT YOU HAD LEFT, NEVER TO FEEL PAIN AGAIN.
YOU'VE LEFT US PRECIOUS MEMORIES; YOUR FRIENDSHIP WILL BE OUR GUIDE.
YOU'LL LIVE ON THROUGH YOUR DAUGHTERS; YOU'RE ALWAYS BY THEIR SIDE.
IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU, BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE.
FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU ON THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.
+ + + + + + + + + + + ++ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

STEPHANIE WAS A SISTER AND A FRIEND:
IT WILL BE HARD TO NOT SEE, OR SPEAK WITH STEPH AGAIN.
I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOUR TOUCH, BUT NEVER YOUR SPIRIT.
I KNOW I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FILL STEPH'S SHOES WITH A FRIENDSHIP LIKE OURS, BUT I WILL SAY THIS FROM MY HEART.
"STEPH, IT WAS AN HONOR TO KNOW YOU, TO BE YOUR SISTER, AND TO HAVE YOU AS A FRIEND."
WE LOVE YOU; UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.
