My friend Stephanie Sargent died at the age of 49. She was Ralph’s wife, and Daniel’s and Jacob’s mom. Stephanie was someone you could count on. She was a fierce Mom, Preschool Teacher, Vocalist, and Book Club Facilitator.  She was funny, and she stood by you to hold you up with her presence and her words when you needed a friend you could trust. So when she died recently of complications from a stroke her very large circle came together to mourn and to support her family.
