Well here it is Fog Fest and I remember how it was so easy for you to go out and have fun. When we used to
live on Palmetto, you always had the best time at the Fog Fest. We bought so many hair thingies they were
everywhere. I wish so desperately that you could be here. I will take you with me. You will be in my heart and I
will look for you in the sky and in between other people. I won't be taking any pictures this year, but I entered a
picture of your trellis in the photo contest. It didn't win but it will be displayed. Everything I do I do for you. I
love you and I can't wait until we can be together again.

NOTE: We have just received the new blue bracelets and will be selling pink and blue at the Fog Fest. If
you would like to have one before then, I have them at my store in the Manor Shopping Center (between
Tam's and the ATM). They are also available at Curves in Eureka Square. Naomi also has them. The
bracelets are $3.00 each or 2 for $5.00.

Hey there steph just wanted to drop by and say hey what's up and that i miss you very much.... Sometimes you
are in my dreams i wonder if it was because i was thinking of you b4 i went to bed or that you wanted to drop by
and say Hello.... Hopefully to drop by to say hello it makes me feel better that i get to see your face... in
English class for sullivan you have gotten brought up a few times and no matter what even though i remember
the good times my heart still breaks.....every time u get brought up in that class i always look at maddy for some
reason and hope that she dont begin to tear up because Lord no's that i will cry if i see someone else cry
because you 2 were brought up.. I think about you and jonny everyday and just wanted to say that you and
jonny will always have a special place in my heart!!!! In my dreams drop in and say hi when ever you feel
like.... it will be kinda cool that you are looking down on me from up above but no rush there are a lot of
people that really need and jonny in their presence....i can wait... well steph and jonny until next time see ya
and i love and miss yeah...
Love Alex

Hey you guys don't know me, but my dad is the one the is running that safe rides program for jonny and
stephanie, and i just feel so horrible and all, and that i think that steph and jonny are lookin out for all teens out
there, even though she doesn't know some, cuz on labor day i was in a major car accident. there were three
ppl in the car and we all came out alive, and i feel that shes up there lookin out for us. I just want to make a
comment here, to show my grief and support to all her family and friends. And say sorry that u guys had to go
through this. and that ive been thinkin and i want to name my baby girl when i have one after Stephanie. i
don't know them but they probably would want u guys to live ur lifes they way u would.
Luv always,
Lily (Cabs Daughter)
P.S. all u guys be strong and still live ur lifes to the fullest and u know they will always be in ur heart.

Dear Steph,
Yesterday I listened to some cassettes that Jonny had in his room. They were next to his many recorded CD's,
and they weren't rap, they were R & B love songs. As I listened I realized that these love songs were your songs
to Jonny. Thank you for loving Jonny and for always being there for him. There is no greater love than the love
you two shared. And thanks for the beautiful music. I'm missing you now more than ever.
Always, Dave

Hey Stephy...I miss you terribly and I miss your phone calls and just seeing you when I would make my monthly
visits to see you and your mom. I went to see your mom last month and I just waited for you to come home and
walk through that door and greet me like you used to. I want you to see Lily so bad, she is getting so big so fast,
she is so beautiful Steph. I just can't get over the fact that Lily will not have an Auntie growing up. I think
about it everyday and I feel sorry for Lily because she will never get to realize what a great person you are and
how much love you had for her. I still remember when you and your mom came to hospital the day I gave birth
to her...You two were fighting over who could hold her first. I will never forget that. All I can do is tell Lily when
she gets older what a wonderful person you are and that you are one of a kind. I love you so much Steph and
please keep watching over me and Lily. We miss you.

Six months have passed and I miss you every bit as much as I did the first day. After the accident I stopped
believing in any God that would let this happen, but now I truly hope there is a God and that you are there in
heaven watching all of us and waiting for us when we come. I have come very close to trying to find out if it's
true, but I know that I have to wait for my time and allow this to be yours. Not a minute goes by that I don't
picture your face or hear your voice and I feel you but I cannot hold you. This tragedy has effected so many
people, some in a good way, some just don't want to feel it because it's just too horrible. I can't decide if I
want to run far, far away or just stay in the house and imagine you walking in. I see other moms with their
daughters and I can't even look it hurts so bad. My only hope is that you are free and that I will see you soon.
All my love for you forever and ever.
Naomi

6 months tonight.. I cannot believe it. It's been half a year without Stephanie.. Without Jonny. 6 months and
there hasn't been a day where they haven't been on my mind. A day where I haven't had something remind me
of them. Sometimes I see someone that looks like Steph and I have to take a second look. It's so hard. I was not
all that close to either of them but that doesn't matter. They still had an impact on my life and I still miss them
everyday. If only they didn't have to go.. We still miss you and we still love you. Forever in our hearts and minds.

I was 11 years old when i first met stephanie. We were in 6th grade, and had all the same classes. Eventually
we started to be friends and hang out. There were a few of us who became best friends that year, we made
home videos, had fun parties, and were even "violet Nymphs." . We used to go to her house in sharp park and
play video games and then go swimming at Oceana. She was one of my best friends in 6th and 7th grades. We
always stayed pretty close until high school. She was in my english class freshmen year as well. We kind of
drifted once high school started, its a big place and there are so many new people. Last year, at the end of
sophmore year, i went camping with kelly and steph. It was the first time i had actually been with stephanie for
a while. We saw each other at school but never actually spent time together. It was a really fun weekend and it
was nice to have caught up with her. My sister was pregnant and stephanie thought that was the most exciting
and greatest thing ever. She kept asking me if i was sure my sister was having a baby and if she wanted a baby.
I am very thankful that she was on that camping trip, because not long after she would be gone. Stephanie was
truly a great person, inside and out. She was hilarious and was always there to talk. I'll never forget her smile or
her laugh.
I love you Steph...
love always,

Stephanie, i remember the first day we met when we were hanging out and you told me to sit next to you
because this other girl that usually sat next to you, you didn't like so thats where our friendship began we talked
and started to get to know each other and then started to hang out! we made so many memories then we
started HS and we had spanish together i sat right behind you lol the stuff me and you did.....MEMORYS.... and
we started hanging out a lot more and then 10 grade came but we didn't have any classes together but we still
talked no matter what and i would call you to see what you were doing.... summer time came and i couldn't
hang out with you because i was with my family in a different state the whole summer but we were able to keep
in touch and then junior year came and we had 3rd prd together and 6th prd together in 3rd prd i sat right in
front of you and we were always talking and our teacher was always telling us to stop but that didn't stop us and
in 6th prd we would talk and in gruop work me and u were always together and same with 3rd prd i remember
doing group work with 3rd prd it would be me, you, kara, jimmy and nick and whoever else. I remember we
would be singing songs like the one from the "The Lion King" and ms. wagner always told us to stop then we
would think of a different song to sing and then start singing and how during 6th prd you would always yell
at the teacher and i would be laughing.... Those simple memorys just
inside of school in memorys that i now hold in my heart and i remember the stuff we would do after school...
dude it was fun no matter what i remember having detention and you would be there every time i had it, it
seemed like me and you would be partners to clean up trash around school, i could go on forever and writing
about just some of the stuff that we have done but i no i cant ill see you when i get up! I miss you!!!

steph and jonny its been a little over 5 months since you were taken away from us, everyday i try to keep myself
busy! because i no that if i don't then that will get me sad because i will be thinking of it all the time! the last
time i was talking to steph was that day of the accident we were ending with 3rd prd wagner and we were talking
and about all the fun we had throughout the years and the stuff we would do to people..... lol.... those are the
memorys that are helping me heal my heart! with jonny man where do i begin with that boy... i remember i
talked to him like 2 weeks before he died and i didn't have a change to talk to him but i was walking to get
somewhere and i hear budda Alex and i turn around and there was jonny waving a me and i walk over to him
and gave him a hug and said hi bubba Jonny! we had a simple confo but i didn't no it was going to be my last
it was like hey how are u what have u been up to since i seen u last and that we needed to hang out one
weekend because we haven't for a while and then me giving him and hug saying i had go meet someone! i
miss them both but i now that all the pain and suffering they endured is now gone while they are in Heaven
and we need to honor both jonnys and stephs life by not getting into a car drunk!
R.I.P Steph and jonny "your gone but never forgotten" i'll see them

I remember the first day of high school. I went down to the bus stop and was so nervous about starting and
taking a different bus to a different school. I watched this beautiful girl walk down the street and greet me. You
had a beautiful smile and I just couldn't ever take my eyes off of you whenever I saw you. You comforted me
and told
me that high school wasn't that bad or scary so I started school that day taking your advice, you were totally
right!!! I was always amazed by you and could never understand why, I realize why now. The night of the
incident it was so crazy because I sensed you and I couldn't sleep for one second that whole entire night. I'm
really glad I got to meet your wonderful mother who is very strong and amazes me almost as much as you.
It was so crazy the other day when I saw your mom and I sensed you in the room with us. Like they say,
everything happens for a reason. Reasons you can't always explain or understand, but for reasons that you just
have to accept. R.I.P. gurl XOXO......

STEPH!!! -
Where to start...
6th grade.. oh myy remember Thomas?? haha i remember being a little shithead 12 year old trying to make
you mad to see if Thomas would do anything to stand up for you.. WELP! he did beat my ass ONE TIME!! haha
anywho.. we never really talked much until 7th grade. I remember Liza came up to me and wanted me to meet
you and get to know you more. We became good friends and since then we always have been cool with
eachother. There are way too many memories with you to state on this little itty bitty page but one of my
favorites was you, me and melissa in Malones if you know what im talking about haha) I also want to thank you
Steph.. for taking time out to come up and smile at me and make me feel better when Coach Petithome made
me look like an idiot in front of our PE class. I appreciate it Steph I really do. Thank you SO much for visiting
me in my sleep and telling me you love me and everything is okay up in Heaven. I as well as the rest of all of
your friends miss you so much and we all love you very much. Nothing is the same without you, Twigz and i
mean that. I think about you everyday Steph and that will never change. When its my time im gonna find you
up there and give you the biggest hug youll ever get. i PROMISE. Until then PLEASE DONT STOP VISITING
ME IN MY DREAMS!! it lets me know that you are okay.. I love you, Steph and I miss you! <3

My Sweet Lil Stephanie,
It took me a while to cope with this, or even look at this site. As soon as it came up I began to cry. I never
thought the time would ever come when you would be gone. You hear about how teens die in car accidents
but I never thought it would hit so close to home. I wake up every morning and wait everyday for a phone call
but it never comes. I never told you how much I loved you or even how much i cared about you and how good
of a friend you were to me. The world needs you steph and id switch places with you anyday of the week and i
miss you so much. i love you baby girl and ill never forget you you will always be in my heart.
RIP MY TWISTED SISTER...TWISTED TWIGZ WILL LIVE ETERNALLY...........

Hey Steph,
it is still hard to accept the fact that a smart, funny, beautiful young lady is gone...i think about you everyday,
and all the memories we had in class. i met you in 6th grade and in those 5-6 years that i have known you, you
always made me laugh, and you had such a beautiful smile that i will never forget. i know that you and jonny
are up there smiling down on us, giving us comfort assuring us that everything is going to be ok. i miss you
dearly Steph, but one things for sure, you will always have a place in my heart, and there will not be a day
when i dont think of you. God bless Stephanie and Jonny's family.
Love always and Forever;

Hey Steph its me again. Today its been five months since you and Jonny left us. It's still very unreal to me and
I keep thinking im going to see you and hear you laugh again.I remember when I first found out about it..
Adam called and said that you and jonny were in an accident and you both didn't make it. I honestly thought it
was some sick joke or something, but as the morning went on I got more and more fone calls and I realized that
it was true and I just wanted to be close to you again. When i went to the tree, tears just came pouring down..
it was like I was living in a nightmare and I just wanted to wake up and see you again. Later on Me, Laura, and
Madey went to your house to comfort your mom. Steph, not a day goes by that I don't think about you and
wish so much that Feb 4th never happened and you and jonny were still here. I love you and keep looking after
me babygirl. Naomi, I admire your strength and all the efforts you are making to make Pacifica safe. No mother
should have to go through what you are going through and if there is anything I can do to ease your pain and
bring Steph back I'll do it in a heartbeat. God bless you Steph and Jonny.
Love always,

i know you are watching over me and that eases my pain. i know that you knew i loved you, i just wish i said it
more. memories from when we were little flood my mind and i cry as i remember the good times. hoping to see
you in my dreams im so eager to fall asleep. im missing your phone calls. i miss your moms cooking. i miss
scooping my veges onto your plate. i miss your laugh and your crazy ideas. i miss the smell of your house and
riding horses on the beach. i remember playing spyro on your couch and basketball with you by my side. i
remember at uncle waynes where we spent our 4th of julys. i remember your smile, your eyes and your laugh. i
love you and miss you and i know its not the end. i know that someday i will see you again, but for now my heart
aches for my greatest friend.

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to know Stephanie. I only met her three times - and it has
become very important to me that I know her and honor her just as I do Jonny. Thank you so much Naomi and

Hey Steph,
It's me Laura. I know we didnt kick it that much outside of school or anything but I really miss you. I miss seeing
you in Mr. Makajani's science class. I really hated that class and you made it so much better. You were always
jumping up and down in your seat when you wanted something, I miss the way you said," Furry Burry.....
Please!". I know I'll never get to see you smile again and that makes me very sad. You had a smile that lit up
the room, you were one of those people with a natural glow.
I still cant believe that you're gone. I had just been with you that night. I drove by that night and didnt realize
what was going on until I got home and Jeremy called me. I rushed out the door and saw you. My heart was
racing and my legs turned into jello. Im so sorry you had to go through what you went through. I know your up
in heaven looking down on all of us. You were and still are a beautiful angel, so spread your wings and fly. I
will always remember you for the rest of my life.
Love always and forever,
Laura Burry

Hey Steph, it's Jen... I don't know where to start but I miss you so much. You and your mom were always there
for me (and still are) and you always helped me through tough times; you know what I mean. I will miss your
phone calls and text messages to check on me and to try to cheer me up, when I was having a bad day. Oh
yeah, can't forget shopping either:) Everytime I came down to visit we always went shopping for stuff we didn't
need, but u made a great shopping buddy. I just wish that you could be around to watch Lily grow up. You are
her only Aunt. She's getting so big now and I can see your brother in her everyday. I know you are watching
over us and I know you are Lily's guardian angel. Me and Lily love you Steph and I know someday I will see you
soon. I love you, Jen

Hey it is cole this is the second time I wrote this because of my computer.
I first met you when I was like seven years old and we went to the submarine and got the special tour. The tour
was cool but when we got the special tour it was real cool. We both got to sit in the gun chair and then look
through the lens to see under the water. We then went and got dogtags. After that we went to the aircraft
carrier and almost got a special tour but I was to short, that was not cool. The next day we went to the beach
and got to do the whole boogie boarding thing until there was a shark in the water (good thing that I did not
know what was going on or else I would of freaked out. After, we went back to Wayne and Toni's and watched a
movie and that was the whole day.
The last time that I saw you was not very long ago and I felt like I was never going to see you again and I was
right. The night that we found out I was in my room and I did not know who you were and then you flashed into
my head and that was it.

my little steph.....wow. ive been avoiding this for some time now...just couldnt bring myself to the reality of it
all. but here i am! and i have NO idea where to begin. i felt you with me the other day. at the beach... (u kno
what im talking about)that was amazing. and i want to thank you.. not just for that--but mainly for being yourself
and being one of my best friends. i was and still am SOO honored to say that. how lucky am i? ...that last
night....im so sorry for leaving you. i can't even explain how much that's been playing over and over through
my mind....if i would have just stayed.....but thats enough of that. man steph, you had this world wrapped
around your tiny fingertips. now you're larger than life! crazy to believe, but it's so damn true. when i look at
pictures of us, i feel like i'm in a movie or something. your face and radiance is so full of life that i forget
sometimes that i can no longer see you...or call you.....or worst of all- ! hug you, my little steph. everything is
so different.........i wish we could just start over. but you know, i love you beyond the word "love". thats definitely
an understatement. every good i do in my life, is for you, from now on. I'm going to travel the world for you
steph. be successful- for you. live my life- for you. and i know you will be proud of me no matter what, but i am
going to reach my full potential for the very first time--for you. i will feel you with me and know that your
experiencing it all, through me. that's what will keep me going. it's what HAS kept me going... "you still have
all of me"
much love....Kara

Hey my little Steph! I'm so glad I had the chance to be friends with you! I never met anyone so caring, so nice,
so sweet, and so beautiful! I'll never forget when we first met in english sophmore year. You were the first to
come up to talk to me and introduce yourself. Then you asked me to have lunch with you. I'll always remember
how sweet you were. I think about you everyday and wish so badly that you were still here and that you could
be here for the birth of my son. I miss you and love you Steph! I know your looking over me and the rest of your
friends and family. Enjoy your new wings because you truely are an angel! I love you!

hey Steph. It's been really hard without you. Everyday I am flooded with memories of you. Now that you're
gone I can remember every single moment we shared. And you're still making me laugh. We had such good
times, I am sorry we didn't hang out much during high school, but I'm glad we had a class together because
that made us become closer again. I was looking forward to hanging out with you again, because you were
such a good friend. You touched so many hearts and lives and lived everyday fully. I was truly amazed by
you. "It's not fair, and it's not right." I'm working on a song for you, and those are the first two lines. I hope you
are happy wherever you are. I love you,
Stephi-poo, Stuffi-nose.

This is my first time on this website because i was always at gojonnygo.net, God knows that not a day goes by
that i don't think about this accident actually happened, the only person that gave me weird looks or laughed
at me just because i was acting stupid is now gone long after i met them two i had that feeling as if i had have
known them forever! The fun times just the three of had was unbelievable, i miss them everyday and they are
forever going to be in my heart. I look at all the good times and laugh but then get sad because they are now
gone! I'll see them when i get up there! i can feel them around me!

I didn't know Stephanie a very long time but the time that I did know her she was one of the most kindest,
sweetest, most playful girl I have ever met. I will never forget keeping her away from soda because it would
make her extremely hyper. Little Stephanie I know that I will never forget her and all the times that we had
together. Those memories now are so precious to me and come to mind alot and Keeping those is all I have. I
miss you Twigz!!!RIP.

Stephanie..still can't believe you are gone. I am just glad that we got a lot closer this year. I thank god for that
bus ride we took together a week before all of this, when we actually had a heart to heart and we told each
other what we actually felt about each other. That simple bus ride has turned into one of my fondest memories.
Stephanie, I know you are up there smiling down on us, i can feel it. Keep your head up, we will be with you
before you know it.
I love you and miss you,

Summer is setting in and I went out to the pool and I swear I could remember everything just the way it used to
be. Steph diving in with that long body and coming out at the other end effortlessly with a huge smile on her
face. Then I remembered her trying to dunk me me and splashing me just to get me to play with her. I
remember her big eyes and the way she would always want me to watch her when she dove in from the end or
went to the bottom to get some toy we were diving for. I stayed there for a really long time. They were
beautiful memories. I miss you so much sweetie. The only happy moments these days are when I'm thinking
of you. You brought me so much joy. Thank you for
that. Love Mom

the day steph was taken away from us was one of the worst days of my life. sitting here, almost 4 months later i
can still not fully believe that she is really gone. i will miss everything about her, but especially her laugh, her
huge smile, her energizer-bunny energy, her constant happiness that could always brighten my day, and those
sparkling green cat eyes. words will never be able to fully describe how great she was and how she enriched
our lives forever, and they will never be able to even come close to describing just how much i miss her and
would do anything to bring her back or even just spend one more day with her. i love that girl so much and i
will never forget her as long as i live.
R.I.P. Steph- wait for me

On Friday, February 4, the most precious thing I ever had was taken from me, Stephanie, my daughter, my
friend and the most special person ever to walk this earth. In her 16 years here she was loved by more people
than some folks have been in their whole lives (me included). I've been amazed by how many hearts she
touched.
Some of these people I had never even heard of until the tragedy of 2/4/05, that took the lives of Stephanie
and Jonny, her boyfriend. I cannot even begin to describe the huge hole that is left in my heart and the hearts
of my family, Jonny's family and so many of Steph and Jonny's friends.
I want to thank the people that have been here for me, my sisters Toni, Robin, Wendy and Gwyn, and my
brothers in-law, Wayne, Paul and Robert, Steph's friends, especially Maddy and Ashley, my friends and co-
workers, Lisa, Denise, Doug, Pastor Steve, Susan, and my Fire and Police dispatch friends.
I also would like to thank Dave Minetta of the Coalition, Partners for a Safe and Healthy Pacifica, and all the
members for the support thay have given all of us in this time of need.
Just before this accident Stephanie and I had come through a very dark part of our lives and were beginning to
see the light of a better future. Her grades had improved a lot and she had joined the swim team. I was
feeling like I could trust her again and she was happy about that. She talked to so many of her friends that
night, and she was so proud of herself for having accomplished so much. She was a beautiful flower just about
to fully blossom.
I will be writing a lot more on Naomi's page soon.

“ Every day when i wake up i'm mad at the world for letting something so terrible happen. but there is nothing
that can change the past so we have to cherish the wonderful times we've had and carry on their legacy. So
many times Steph brightened my day just by smiling at me. i remember when we pierced our noses together
but steph looked a lot better. everyday i go to school hoping to see her there because any day with steph is a
good day. i just couldn't do prom without you. Jonny was always so kind and welcoming to me, his family is
wonderful too. all i ever want for my birthday is jonny to bbq another steak for me (that was the best birthday
dinner i have ever had) you two were amazing and your kindness touched many lives. how god could take two
precious souls from us i do not understand, but i will hold you both in my heart forever and try to live a
meaningful life in your memory. i miss you both everyday, and i will love you FOREVER! ”

Well here it is Fog Fest and I remember how it was so easy for you to go out and have fun. When we used to
live on Palmetto, you always had the best time at the Fog Fest. We bought so many hair thingies they were
everywhere. I wish so desperately that you could be here. I will take you with me. You will be in my heart and I
will look for you in the sky and in between other people. I won't be taking any pictures this year, but I entered a
picture of your trellis in the photo contest. It didn't win but it will be displayed. Everything I do I do for you. I
love you and I can't wait until we can be together again.

English class for sullivan you have gotten brought up a few times and no matter what even though i remember
the good times my heart still breaks.....every time u get brought up in that class i always look at maddy for some
reason and hope that she dont begin to tear up because Lord no's that i will cry if i see someone else cry
because you 2 were brought up.. I think about you and jonny everyday and just wanted to say that you and
jonny will always have a special place in my heart!!!! In my dreams drop in and say hi when ever you feel

ppl in the car and we all came out alive, and i feel that shes up there lookin out for us. I just want to make a
comment here, to show my grief and support to all her family and friends. And say sorry that u guys had to go
through this. and that ive been thinkin and i want to name my baby girl when i have one after Stephanie. i
don't know them but they probably would want u guys to live ur lifes they way u would.
Luv always,

Dear Steph,
Yesterday I listened to some cassettes that Jonny had in his room. They were next to his many recorded CD's,
and they weren't rap, they were R & B love songs. As I listened I realized that these love songs were your songs
to Jonny. Thank you for loving Jonny and for always being there for him. There is no greater love than the love
you two shared. And thanks for the beautiful music. I'm missing you now more than ever.
Always, Dave

Hey Stephy...I miss you terribly and I miss your phone calls and just seeing you when I would make my monthly
visits to see you and your mom. I went to see your mom last month and I just waited for you to come home and
walk through that door and greet me like you used to. I want you to see Lily so bad, she is getting so big so fast,
she is so beautiful Steph. I just can't get over the fact that Lily will not have an Auntie growing up. I think
about it everyday and I feel sorry for Lily because she will never get to realize what a great person you are and
how much love you had for her. I still remember when you and your mom came to hospital the day I gave birth
to her...You two were fighting over who could hold her first. I will never forget that. All I can do is tell Lily when
she gets older what a wonderful person you are and that you are one of a kind. I love you so much Steph and
please keep watching over me and Lily. We miss you.

Six months have passed and I miss you every bit as much as I did the first day. After the accident I stopped
believing in any God that would let this happen, but now I truly hope there is a God and that you are there in
heaven watching all of us and waiting for us when we come. I have come very close to trying to find out if it's
true, but I know that I have to wait for my time and allow this to be yours. Not a minute goes by that I don't
picture your face or hear your voice and I feel you but I cannot hold you. This tragedy has effected so many
people, some in a good way, some just don't want to feel it because it's just too horrible. I can't decide if I
want to run far, far away or just stay in the house and imagine you walking in. I see other moms with their
daughters and I can't even look it hurts so bad. My only hope is that you are free and that I will see you soon.
All my love for you forever and ever.

6 months tonight.. I cannot believe it. It's been half a year without Stephanie.. Without Jonny. 6 months and
there hasn't been a day where they haven't been on my mind. A day where I haven't had something remind me
of them. Sometimes I see someone that looks like Steph and I have to take a second look. It's so hard. I was not
all that close to either of them but that doesn't matter. They still had an impact on my life and I still miss them
everyday. If only they didn't have to go.. We still miss you and we still love you. Forever in our hearts and minds.

I was 11 years old when i first met stephanie. We were in 6th grade, and had all the same classes. Eventually
we started to be friends and hang out. There were a few of us who became best friends that year, we made
home videos, had fun parties, and were even "violet Nymphs." . We used to go to her house in sharp park and
play video games and then go swimming at Oceana. She was one of my best friends in 6th and 7th grades. We
always stayed pretty close until high school. She was in my english class freshmen year as well. We kind of
drifted once high school started, its a big place and there are so many new people. Last year, at the end of
sophmore year, i went camping with kelly and steph. It was the first time i had actually been with stephanie for
a while. We saw each other at school but never actually spent time together. It was a really fun weekend and it
was nice to have caught up with her. My sister was pregnant and stephanie thought that was the most exciting
and greatest thing ever. She kept asking me if i was sure my sister was having a baby and if she wanted a baby.
I am very thankful that she was on that camping trip, because not long after she would be gone. Stephanie was
truly a great person, inside and out. She was hilarious and was always there to talk. I'll never forget her smile or
her laugh.
I love you Steph...
love always,

Stephanie, i remember the first day we met when we were hanging out and you told me to sit next to you
because this other girl that usually sat next to you, you didn't like so thats where our friendship began we talked
and started to get to know each other and then started to hang out! we made so many memories then we
started HS and we had spanish together i sat right behind you lol the stuff me and you did.....MEMORYS.... and
we started hanging out a lot more and then 10 grade came but we didn't have any classes together but we still
talked no matter what and i would call you to see what you were doing.... summer time came and i couldn't
hang out with you because i was with my family in a different state the whole summer but we were able to keep
in touch and then junior year came and we had 3rd prd together and 6th prd together in 3rd prd i sat right in
front of you and we were always talking and our teacher was always telling us to stop but that didn't stop us and
in 6th prd we would talk and in gruop work me and u were always together and same with 3rd prd i remember
doing group work with 3rd prd it would be me, you, kara, jimmy and nick and whoever else. I remember we
would be singing songs like the one from the "The Lion King" and ms. wagner always told us to stop then we
would think of a different song to sing and then start singing and how during 6th prd you would always yell
at the teacher and i would be laughing.... Those simple memorys just
inside of school in memorys that i now hold in my heart and i remember the stuff we would do after school...
dude it was fun no matter what i remember having detention and you would be there every time i had it, it
seemed like me and you would be partners to clean up trash around school, i could go on forever and writing
about just some of the stuff that we have done but i no i cant ill see you when i get up! I miss you!!!

steph and jonny its been a little over 5 months since you were taken away from us, everyday i try to keep myself
busy! because i no that if i don't then that will get me sad because i will be thinking of it all the time! the last
time i was talking to steph was that day of the accident we were ending with 3rd prd wagner and we were talking
and about all the fun we had throughout the years and the stuff we would do to people..... lol.... those are the
memorys that are helping me heal my heart! with jonny man where do i begin with that boy... i remember i
talked to him like 2 weeks before he died and i didn't have a change to talk to him but i was walking to get
somewhere and i hear budda Alex and i turn around and there was jonny waving a me and i walk over to him
and gave him a hug and said hi bubba Jonny! we had a simple confo but i didn't no it was going to be my last
it was like hey how are u what have u been up to since i seen u last and that we needed to hang out one
weekend because we haven't for a while and then me giving him and hug saying i had go meet someone! i
miss them both but i now that all the pain and suffering they endured is now gone while they are in Heaven
and we need to honor both jonnys and stephs life by not getting into a car drunk!
R.I.P Steph and jonny "your gone but never forgotten" i'll see them

I remember the first day of high school. I went down to the bus stop and was so nervous about starting and
taking a different bus to a different school. I watched this beautiful girl walk down the street and greet me. You
had a beautiful smile and I just couldn't ever take my eyes off of you whenever I saw you. You comforted me
and told
me that high school wasn't that bad or scary so I started school that day taking your advice, you were totally
right!!! I was always amazed by you and could never understand why, I realize why now. The night of the
incident it was so crazy because I sensed you and I couldn't sleep for one second that whole entire night. I'm
really glad I got to meet your wonderful mother who is very strong and amazes me almost as much as you.
It was so crazy the other day when I saw your mom and I sensed you in the room with us. Like they say,
everything happens for a reason. Reasons you can't always explain or understand, but for reasons that you just
have to accept. R.I.P. gurl XOXO......

STEPH!!! -
Where to start...
6th grade.. oh myy remember Thomas?? haha i remember being a little shithead 12 year old trying to make
you mad to see if Thomas would do anything to stand up for you.. WELP! he did beat my ass ONE TIME!! haha
anywho.. we never really talked much until 7th grade. I remember Liza came up to me and wanted me to meet
you and get to know you more. We became good friends and since then we always have been cool with
eachother. There are way too many memories with you to state on this little itty bitty page but one of my
favorites was you, me and melissa in Malones if you know what im talking about haha) I also want to thank you
Steph.. for taking time out to come up and smile at me and make me feel better when Coach Petithome made
me look like an idiot in front of our PE class. I appreciate it Steph I really do. Thank you SO much for visiting
me in my sleep and telling me you love me and everything is okay up in Heaven. I as well as the rest of all of
your friends miss you so much and we all love you very much. Nothing is the same without you, Twigz and i
mean that. I think about you everyday Steph and that will never change. When its my time im gonna find you
up there and give you the biggest hug youll ever get. i PROMISE. Until then PLEASE DONT STOP VISITING
ME IN MY DREAMS!! it lets me know that you are okay.. I love you, Steph and I miss you! <3

My Sweet Lil Stephanie,
It took me a while to cope with this, or even look at this site. As soon as it came up I began to cry. I never
thought the time would ever come when you would be gone. You hear about how teens die in car accidents
but I never thought it would hit so close to home. I wake up every morning and wait everyday for a phone call
but it never comes. I never told you how much I loved you or even how much i cared about you and how good
of a friend you were to me. The world needs you steph and id switch places with you anyday of the week and i
miss you so much. i love you baby girl and ill never forget you you will always be in my heart.
RIP MY TWISTED SISTER...TWISTED TWIGZ WILL LIVE ETERNALLY...........

Hey Steph,
it is still hard to accept the fact that a smart, funny, beautiful young lady is gone...i think about you everyday,
and all the memories we had in class. i met you in 6th grade and in those 5-6 years that i have known you, you
always made me laugh, and you had such a beautiful smile that i will never forget. i know that you and jonny
are up there smiling down on us, giving us comfort assuring us that everything is going to be ok. i miss you
dearly Steph, but one things for sure, you will always have a place in my heart, and there will not be a day
when i dont think of you. God bless Stephanie and Jonny's family.
Love always and Forever;

Hey Steph its me again. Today its been five months since you and Jonny left us. It's still very unreal to me and
I keep thinking im going to see you and hear you laugh again.I remember when I first found out about it..
Adam called and said that you and jonny were in an accident and you both didn't make it. I honestly thought it
was some sick joke or something, but as the morning went on I got more and more fone calls and I realized that
it was true and I just wanted to be close to you again. When i went to the tree, tears just came pouring down..
it was like I was living in a nightmare and I just wanted to wake up and see you again. Later on Me, Laura, and
Madey went to your house to comfort your mom. Steph, not a day goes by that I don't think about you and
wish so much that Feb 4th never happened and you and jonny were still here. I love you and keep looking after
me babygirl. Naomi, I admire your strength and all the efforts you are making to make Pacifica safe. No mother
should have to go through what you are going through and if there is anything I can do to ease your pain and
bring Steph back I'll do it in a heartbeat. God bless you Steph and Jonny.
Love always,

you in my dreams im so eager to fall asleep. im missing your phone calls. i miss your moms cooking. i miss
scooping my veges onto your plate. i miss your laugh and your crazy ideas. i miss the smell of your house and
riding horses on the beach. i remember playing spyro on your couch and basketball with you by my side. i
remember at uncle waynes where we spent our 4th of julys. i remember your smile, your eyes and your laugh. i
love you and miss you and i know its not the end. i know that someday i will see you again, but for now my heart
aches for my greatest friend.

Hey Steph,
It's me Laura. I know we didnt kick it that much outside of school or anything but I really miss you. I miss seeing
you in Mr. Makajani's science class. I really hated that class and you made it so much better. You were always
jumping up and down in your seat when you wanted something, I miss the way you said," Furry Burry.....
Please!". I know I'll never get to see you smile again and that makes me very sad. You had a smile that lit up
the room, you were one of those people with a natural glow.
I still cant believe that you're gone. I had just been with you that night. I drove by that night and didnt realize
what was going on until I got home and Jeremy called me. I rushed out the door and saw you. My heart was
racing and my legs turned into jello. Im so sorry you had to go through what you went through. I know your up
in heaven looking down on all of us. You were and still are a beautiful angel, so spread your wings and fly. I
will always remember you for the rest of my life.
Love always and forever,

Hey Steph, it's Jen... I don't know where to start but I miss you so much. You and your mom were always there
for me (and still are) and you always helped me through tough times; you know what I mean. I will miss your
phone calls and text messages to check on me and to try to cheer me up, when I was having a bad day. Oh
yeah, can't forget shopping either:) Everytime I came down to visit we always went shopping for stuff we didn't
need, but u made a great shopping buddy. I just wish that you could be around to watch Lily grow up. You are
her only Aunt. She's getting so big now and I can see your brother in her everyday. I know you are watching
over us and I know you are Lily's guardian angel. Me and Lily love you Steph and I know someday I will see you
soon. I love you, Jen

Hey it is cole this is the second time I wrote this because of my computer.
I first met you when I was like seven years old and we went to the submarine and got the special tour. The tour
was cool but when we got the special tour it was real cool. We both got to sit in the gun chair and then look
through the lens to see under the water. We then went and got dogtags. After that we went to the aircraft
carrier and almost got a special tour but I was to short, that was not cool. The next day we went to the beach
and got to do the whole boogie boarding thing until there was a shark in the water (good thing that I did not
know what was going on or else I would of freaked out. After, we went back to Wayne and Toni's and watched a
movie and that was the whole day.
The last time that I saw you was not very long ago and I felt like I was never going to see you again and I was
right. The night that we found out I was in my room and I did not know who you were and then you flashed into
my head and that was it.

my little steph.....wow. ive been avoiding this for some time now...just couldnt bring myself to the reality of it
all. but here i am! and i have NO idea where to begin. i felt you with me the other day. at the beach... (u kno
what im talking about)that was amazing. and i want to thank you.. not just for that--but mainly for being yourself
and being one of my best friends. i was and still am SOO honored to say that. how lucky am i? ...that last
night....im so sorry for leaving you. i can't even explain how much that's been playing over and over through
my mind....if i would have just stayed.....but thats enough of that. man steph, you had this world wrapped
around your tiny fingertips. now you're larger than life! crazy to believe, but it's so damn true. when i look at
pictures of us, i feel like i'm in a movie or something. your face and radiance is so full of life that i forget
sometimes that i can no longer see you...or call you.....or worst of all- ! hug you, my little steph. everything is
so different.........i wish we could just start over. but you know, i love you beyond the word "love". thats definitely
an understatement. every good i do in my life, is for you, from now on. I'm going to travel the world for you
steph. be successful- for you. live my life- for you. and i know you will be proud of me no matter what, but i am
going to reach my full potential for the very first time--for you. i will feel you with me and know that your
experiencing it all, through me. that's what will keep me going. it's what HAS kept me going... "you still have
all of me"
much love....Kara

Hey my little Steph! I'm so glad I had the chance to be friends with you! I never met anyone so caring, so nice,
so sweet, and so beautiful! I'll never forget when we first met in english sophmore year. You were the first to
come up to talk to me and introduce yourself. Then you asked me to have lunch with you. I'll always remember
how sweet you were. I think about you everyday and wish so badly that you were still here and that you could
be here for the birth of my son. I miss you and love you Steph! I know your looking over me and the rest of your
friends and family. Enjoy your new wings because you truely are an angel! I love you!

hey Steph. It's been really hard without you. Everyday I am flooded with memories of you. Now that you're
gone I can remember every single moment we shared. And you're still making me laugh. We had such good
times, I am sorry we didn't hang out much during high school, but I'm glad we had a class together because
that made us become closer again. I was looking forward to hanging out with you again, because you were
such a good friend. You touched so many hearts and lives and lived everyday fully. I was truly amazed by
you. "It's not fair, and it's not right." I'm working on a song for you, and those are the first two lines. I hope you
are happy wherever you are. I love you,

that i don't think about this accident actually happened, the only person that gave me weird looks or laughed
at me just because i was acting stupid is now gone long after i met them two i had that feeling as if i had have
known them forever! The fun times just the three of had was unbelievable, i miss them everyday and they are
forever going to be in my heart. I look at all the good times and laugh but then get sad because they are now
gone! I'll see them when i get up there! i can feel them around me!

I didn't know Stephanie a very long time but the time that I did know her she was one of the most kindest,
sweetest, most playful girl I have ever met. I will never forget keeping her away from soda because it would
make her extremely hyper. Little Stephanie I know that I will never forget her and all the times that we had
together. Those memories now are so precious to me and come to mind alot and Keeping those is all I have. I
miss you Twigz!!!RIP.

Stephanie..still can't believe you are gone. I am just glad that we got a lot closer this year. I thank god for that
bus ride we took together a week before all of this, when we actually had a heart to heart and we told each
other what we actually felt about each other. That simple bus ride has turned into one of my fondest memories.
Stephanie, I know you are up there smiling down on us, i can feel it. Keep your head up, we will be with you
before you know it.
I love you and miss you,

Summer is setting in and I went out to the pool and I swear I could remember everything just the way it used to
be. Steph diving in with that long body and coming out at the other end effortlessly with a huge smile on her
face. Then I remembered her trying to dunk me me and splashing me just to get me to play with her. I
remember her big eyes and the way she would always want me to watch her when she dove in from the end or
went to the bottom to get some toy we were diving for. I stayed there for a really long time. They were
beautiful memories. I miss you so much sweetie. The only happy moments these days are when I'm thinking
of you. You brought me so much joy. Thank you for
that. Love Mom

senior year with me. it sucks with out you. i love you so much. cant wait to be with you again.

the day steph was taken away from us was one of the worst days of my life. sitting here, almost 4 months later i
can still not fully believe that she is really gone. i will miss everything about her, but especially her laugh, her
huge smile, her energizer-bunny energy, her constant happiness that could always brighten my day, and those
sparkling green cat eyes. words will never be able to fully describe how great she was and how she enriched
our lives forever, and they will never be able to even come close to describing just how much i miss her and
would do anything to bring her back or even just spend one more day with her. i love that girl so much and i
will never forget her as long as i live.
R.I.P. Steph- wait for me

On Friday, February 4, the most precious thing I ever had was taken from me, Stephanie, my daughter, my
friend and the most special person ever to walk this earth. In her 16 years here she was loved by more people
than some folks have been in their whole lives (me included). I've been amazed by how many hearts she
touched.
Some of these people I had never even heard of until the tragedy of 2/4/05, that took the lives of Stephanie
and Jonny, her boyfriend. I cannot even begin to describe the huge hole that is left in my heart and the hearts
of my family, Jonny's family and so many of Steph and Jonny's friends.
I want to thank the people that have been here for me, my sisters Toni, Robin, Wendy and Gwyn, and my
brothers in-law, Wayne, Paul and Robert, Steph's friends, especially Maddy and Ashley, my friends and co-
workers, Lisa, Denise, Doug, Pastor Steve, Susan, and my Fire and Police dispatch friends.
I also would like to thank Dave Minetta of the Coalition, Partners for a Safe and Healthy Pacifica, and all the
members for the support thay have given all of us in this time of need.
Just before this accident Stephanie and I had come through a very dark part of our lives and were beginning to
see the light of a better future. Her grades had improved a lot and she had joined the swim team. I was
feeling like I could trust her again and she was happy about that. She talked to so many of her friends that
night, and she was so proud of herself for having accomplished so much. She was a beautiful flower just about
to fully blossom.
I will be writing a lot more on Naomi's page soon.

From gojonnygo
“ Every day when i wake up i'm mad at the world for letting something so terrible happen. but there is nothing
that can change the past so we have to cherish the wonderful times we've had and carry on their legacy. So
many times Steph brightened my day just by smiling at me. i remember when we pierced our noses together
but steph looked a lot better. everyday i go to school hoping to see her there because any day with steph is a
good day. i just couldn't do prom without you. Jonny was always so kind and welcoming to me, his family is
wonderful too. all i ever want for my birthday is jonny to bbq another steak for me (that was the best birthday
dinner i have ever had) you two were amazing and your kindness touched many lives. how god could take two
precious souls from us i do not understand, but i will hold you both in my heart forever and try to live a
meaningful life in your memory. i miss you both everyday, and i will love you FOREVER! ”
