Stephanie loved acting, writing, poetry, singing and dancing. She had a flair for the dramatic and anything that sparkled. She loved all animals and nature. She was proud to be considered an activist. She wanted to save the world and all its critters. She could often be found either feeding her birds or watching them through her window. Her perfect day would be “Somewhere on a Beach” on the Cape. She loved music and concerts, especially Aerosmith and her “country boys”. She loved her TV shows. Her DVR was full of Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Law & Order, and reality TV. She loved her “very own kitten”, Molly, and her shih tzu, Joe.
