The next time I was able to see her in person, I was beyond excited to hug and greet her in Orlando as Soror Stephanie. It just doesn't connect to look at the pictures from both occasions and know that she is gone.

And it's even more unbelievable to process that my Aunt (also a Soror) from Orlando was hospitalized throughout convention with the same condition - I learned that she had finally returned home unscathed at the same time that Soror Stephanie passed on Wednesday. I have to echo your post and urge all of us not to take life and the time we have on this earth for granted.

I am glad your Aunt survived.
