To Duncan, Devin and the Duncan Family,
No words can describe how sorry I am for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I have very fond memories of Stephanie and her family. My first memories of her are from growing up at West Beach. We had so many fun times with our families jumping off the pier and swimming out to the rock while looking for sand dollars. Secondly we got to reconnect with Stephnie at Highlands School when Devin and Duncan attend their for elementary school. Devin and Duncan your mom was an amazing women who loved you so much. She was so proud of both of you and was always beaming at the mention of your names. Hold tight to the memories that you have of her and know that she is always watching over you.
With Sympathy,
Pam (Day) Ames
Dear Duncan, Devin and the wonderful Duncan family:
We have lost a great girl, lady, woman. I first met Stephanie when she dated my brother, John, many years ago. She and I became great friends. We worked together in healthcare and that was the perfect place for her. She was kind and compassionate to all of the patients who had contact with her. She loved being a Mommy and was so proud of her children, Duncan and Devin. We had the best times when she lived down the street from us and the kids were little. I could go on and on about our friendship and the good times. She will live forever in my heart. Until we meet again girlfriend. xxoo

I don’t even know where I would start to share ONE memory of Stephanie! She was such a great friend through high school. Then from when we were young adults, I treasure the memories of hanging out on Sunday nights in the summer, making chicken wings and watching ‘the Simpson’s’. I think hanging with Steph, Mike, Billy and Crashley are some of my best memories.
When I left town and started my family (Steph in my wedding ) and she stayed (me in her wedding) & started her family, we lost the everyday contact but could pick right up! Her love for Duncan & Devin is fierce. She fully devoted herself to them. I know that her love will endure after this tragedy.
Sorry to hear about Stephanie we all grew up together on the island was a good neighbor. Sorry to hear of her passing ☹️ condolences to her family 🙏
