The memory of your Mother will give you comfort, and her legacy live through you all! God Bless your family. My heart is with all of you.

There are no words to describe this pain and loss. Love you my beautiful cousin. Rest easy❤️
I only met Stephanie 3 times selling candy for her daughter’s dance studio “BE” at my karaoke show but she became part of our karaoke family! Everyone loved her and her beautiful smile! She was so proud of her daughter! My deepest condolences go out to her daughter Mia and all of her family and friends in this sudden and tragic loss. Sending prayers.
Stephanie. You will be missed greatly. Its been an honor to call you my friend. Im still in shock over this. You were doing what you do best. Being there for your daughter. Your plans were to sell candy in North Haven for Mia’s fundraiser. I promised to buy a bunch because you ran out early last time. Your last message at 3:15pm was im on my way. 3:30pm God had other plans for you. I’m very sorry!! You are a good person. A good friend, and a good mom. My only wish is that you left home a few mins later. GOD bless you. Your friend Angelo
My condolences to the Napolitano family, the Redente family, her daughter Mia, and boyfriend Sal which she adored very much.
