Stephanie has passed on.....

Joanne called after 10 last night. She had been trying to get a hold of Gary, but he wasn't answering the call because he didn't recognize the number. So after a second call from Joanne, I picked up. I knew right away what was going on. She informed me that Steph was dead. No word on cause, either overdose or suicide.
So I called Gary to let him know, he needed to get ahold of the coroner. So I relayed the numbers that Joanne had given me.
Not a job I wanted, but a job that needed doing.
I can't imagine the devastating feelings of loosing a child. Steph was in a bad place for a while, drinking and drugs had taken hold of her years ago.
Her boyfriend of 5 years had died last month in a motorcycle accident. She was not dealing with it well, she just kept doing drugs. She truly looked like a junkie. Her photos looked terrible. So sad......
