I remember often the times we all got together with the Anderson's for food, fun, and just hanging out together. I heard the news yesterday when Susan called and have been reviewing this lovely link this morning. What a wonderful testament to the spirit Stephanie displayed! Stephanie was a wonderful nurse, a loving mother and wife, and an example to all of us to live each day as if it were our last. God promises us nothing more here on this earth. Let us all remember the wonderful gift that He gave us in Stephanie. I am proud to have called her my friend. May God continue to bless you and your family, John. My prayers are with you all. Todd Gray John and family,

Steph, Elaine, Kim, and I learned to ski together at Ruidoso and Stephanie somehow convinced all of us to go down our first black diamond expert slope together. Stephanie and I also shared a love for art and went through all the honors art classes together at Heights. Since I found out about the recurrence of cancer in June and started reading the blog, I've been "seizing the day" and have completed more paintings than I have in years. Her courage and faith have touched me so much. She came to my mother's funeral 2 years ago, and I've been thinking all day of the two of them together in heaven. I have been praying for your family and will continue to do so.

Now, especially facing my surgery, I realize how hard she fought. When I see the joy in her face on the web-site picture, it raises my spirits up so much. Even though I had probably only seen her a couple of times over the years she will always be in my heart. May God's peace and blessings be with you, David, Jennifer and both yours and Stephanies extended families.

She'd told me her website and I first visited the week after the walk. I was extremely impressed with not only her talent for photography but by her upbeat personality and will to live. I was so touched by her posts that I became a frequent visitor of knockknock.com. It's important to know that she touched the lives of many... even those she did not know. I am walking in Houston's inaugural Avon walk this weekend (39 miles total over 2 days). I am dedicating my walk in celebration of Stephanie's life and her courageous fight against breast cancer. May you find comfort in your memories and peace in knowing she is no longer in pain. I only briefly met Stephanie this past October when she was taking photographs at the Dallas 3 day.

Stephanie was able to lift everyone else around her above her cancer, and now SHE has been lifted up. I grew up two doors down from her, and even as a little girl, Stephanie was just so COOL. She was unflappable even then, and had more of a saunter than a walk. It seems that God used her as a catalyst for spiritual growth for so many, and now she has been rewarded. Our love and prayers to her parents, Joan and Ed, her sisters, Elaine and Kim, and John,Jennifer and David.

And worked in the insurance office with my father Carl Smith who had Stephanie & Johns insurance for years. I have known the Basham family my entire life. God bless you all with strength I pray through this difficult time. She is in a better place and will be keeping a watchfull eye on you all. John, David, Jennifer and the entire Basham family now has a guardian angel watching over them. I hope in some small way that brings you peace. Love Rebecca I was a childhood friend of Stephanie.

Stephanie is in a Glorious place now and has a perfect and pain free body! My prayer for you and yours is that God Almighty will provide for you during these difficult days and supply your Daily Bread! The word says that He will provide a "Comforter" to us at times like these. I pray the comfort of the Holy Spirit surround, uplift and keep your family! God Bless John. John,
