Happy Mothers Day Sissy

I miss you sissy- Happy Mothers Day, I love you ! Not a second goes by that you are not in my thoughts. This is so very hard, I wish it never happened, I wish we could go back in time. I know I cant, I wish I was stronger but Im NOT. I am dying inside sis, I miss you terribly!

All mylove always,
Your big sister

Just thinking about you...
xoxoxo Tammy.

I cant believe its almost been a month

Man sis, Its so hard to believe it will be one month tomorrow at 8:13 AM - Everyone keeps saying its gets easier in time- I dont feel that, the longer its getting the harder it is - The shock has worn off and reality is setting in - Your really gone, my little sister is dead, at times I get so angry at you, Why didnt you wear your seatbelt, I have been ready the statistic of car accidents and the fatalities, your were 68% in greater risk to die by not wearing it, I know its not doing me any good to try and analize it, but its what I do, I lissen to your voicemail over and over and over again, only to almost pretend we are having a conversation, really how dumb and I, I lay in bed and can hear brother telling that you died over and over again, I have guilt because mom called and I didnt answer and brother called and I didnt I was playing a game with Jace at a birthday party, I called back Cody and he told me, I said " stephanie who"? really thats what I said. I feel so bad for mom, having your daughter and not being able to get ahold of you, she called a hundred times, she started to have this horrible feeling and at 1:21PM the police showed up and asked if she knew Stephanie Perrenoud, Mom said I dont want to answer that, Then they told her and she told then you dont have the right stephanie she doesnt drive a green saturn ( you were in your inlaws car ) - I just keep playing it out over in my head, its almost making me crazy - Well I just wanted to say I love you wherever you are.
Your sister,
Nina

You have one amazing family here who miss you and love you so much. Your sister is amazing and you know how I felt about her for so long and I am so sorry I did. I wish I could take it all back. I love you and please forgive me for everything please. Will you do me a favor and watch over her, cody and mom please, they need you more than anything cuz. I LOVE YOU FOREVER.

I love you Stephanie L. Anderson Pernewnew - I am going to miss you more then words can ever say - Thank you for giving me the honor for 29 years 3 m

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I and you are you

Whatever we were to each other

That we are still

Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way you always used

Put no difference into your tone

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

Laugh as we always laughed

At the littl...e jokes we always enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort

Without the ghost of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolute unbroken continuity

What is death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind

Because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you for an interval

Somewhere very near

Just around the corner

All is well.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost

One brief moment and all will be as it was before

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Another Day

Sissy, today has been really hard, I dont know if reality is setting in. This pain is truly unbarable- I miss you so much, I have been thinking of so many memories today and watching home video- Oh my god you have the best funniest laugh ever, how can I never hear that again. I want this to be a dream. I want this to be over sissy - I dont know what I believe and right now I have so much hate in me - Why you? why now? Why is this plan everyone keeps talking about. I dont get it. Why do you visit other people but wont come see me, I need you sissy, I need you bad. I love you and I am so sorry you left this earth. I love you sis - goodnight sweetheart. I hope to see you in my dreams tonight. It hasnt happened yet. I miss you and I will miss you forever my little lady.

Your Big sistet
Nina

My Little Girl

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown
Sometimes you're asleep I whisper "I Love You" in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away, I hear you say, "Mommy Love You More"

Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half
That makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man
I know he'll say that he's in love
But between you and me
He won't be good enough

Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

TO MY MOM

I love you mom,
With all of my heart
Please dont be sad that
Now we must part

I am so very thankful for
All of our years
Please see the rainbow,thru all of your tears

Thanks for your unconditional love
For standing behind me to give me a shove.

There are times I resented
The "push" its true
But look what we accomplished
Me and You!

I know you'll love my daughter
As you loved me
Please share with her all
Our memories

I'll be in the sunshine,
I'll be in the wind
I'll be in the rain drops
At summers end.

I'll be there to love you as the years go by

Im the star twinkling and
Dancing in the sky

So when you are lonely as
I know you will be

Think happy thoughts and KNOW
I KNOW you loved me!!!

Your Daughter,
Stephanie

My Aunt

Aunt sissy, I love you and miss you so much im having a really hard time. I love you and miss you so much

Kaden

My Baby Sister Stephanie

Precious SisterSometimes I still hear the sound of your voice.
I wish you were still here with me, but you had no choice.
I know an Angel held you as your body said goodbye.
But that doesn’t stop my heart from breaking.....
........“I miss you and I cry”.
No one can believe that you are really gone,
Our hearts are broken and...... our spirits moan.
“She was to young”, I’ve heard people say,
“Why did she, have to die this way?”
I try not to be anger, I kneel and I pray,
Asking God to be with us, as we face each day.
I always try to give Mom an extra kiss,
To make up for a little girl, she will always miss.
I understand everyone's emptiness and their sorrow too,
Because, “My precious sister..... we all miss you“.
I know you are happy in Heaven above,
Surrounded by the Angels and all their love.
But today on earth, my heart still grieves,
Because you are no longer here to talk with me”.
I will look toward Heaven, for I know I will see
A Star that will suddenly glow big and bright,
It will be my sister smiling....
..... and watching over me.

Sissy - I miss you so much- IM really struggling sissy -
“Sorry you missed me
I’ll get back with you as soon as I can
Thank you and god bless”

Got the news on Friday mornin’
But a tear I couldn’t find
You showed me how I’m supposed to live
And now you showed me how to die
I was lost till Sunday mornin’
I woke up to face my fear
While I’m writing you this goodbye song
I found a tear

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
That old familiar message
I heard a thousand times it just said
Sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and god bless
I know you think I’m crazy
But I had to hear your voice again

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

So play your upside-down, left handed
Backwards bass guitar
And I’ll see you on the other side
Superstar

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I’m still crying
I’m crying for me
I’m still crying

Happy Easter

Dear Steph,

We love and miss you very much.
I didn't get to see Anna for her Birthday but
I am guessing she stayed wrapped in that big
beautiful blanket you had made for her!
That was so Awesome!!!

Happy Easter!
I found this picture for you for Easter. It even has a pig!!!


I also decorated an egg for you!


We all know how much you enjoyed the Holidays-
Easter...I am sure was rough for a lot of loved ones.
Please watch over them Steph.
Love you,
Tammy

I am so sorry for your loss. My Pomeranian Candy, has never liked any groomer during her 10 years, but she loved Stephanie. Stephanie would stop whatever she was doing every time Candy came into the store. The last time we went in I had my new Pomeranian from the shelter, and she came over to sit on the floor to be with them both. We talked, for awhile while she loved on Candy a lot, and Charles a little too. I think she had a soft spot for Candy, just like Candy had one for her. Candy is a sweet little Pomeranian, but she doesn't fall in love with anyone other than me very often. I am glad we moved here last year, and got the chance to know Stephanie, and I am especially glad for Candy to have had that special bond with her. Again, I am so sorry for your family. Words just seem so inadequate at a time like this. It was a tough day today, because today was Candy's appointment to see her, but she had to endure someone else.

Stephanie was a wonderful person. Her love for Rob and the girls could be seen at all times. I enjoyed getting to know Steph especially in the last year. I will miss her friendship dearly!
Katrena Orme,
Teton, Idaho

I sure do miss you...

I am having a hard time with this Steph. And I am sure everyone else is having even a harder time. I hate this. i keep getting in face book, none stop thinking and waiting for you to send me a BOO, or a just wanted to stop in and say Hi.I talked to Nina today, god bless her. I love her so much. I hate that stuff like this has to happen to bring family together. But after I got off the phone with her I just sat here and cried, and remembered the times we had. And one came up, and I am so sure Cody remembers, how could he not. After Uncle Kevin had passed away, my dad came and got you and Cody to stay at our house over night, or for the weekend, I don't remember how long. But we all piled up in my dads p.o.s. car, and on the way back to uncle marks, do you remember Cody got all excited and was like oh wow uncle mark you live by Disneyland, can we go there. Ha ha, little did Cody know it was the wheat factory. You and I made fun of him ALL DAY. We kept saying Cody go get packed we are going to Disneyland. Oh I miss your laugh, and your dimples. I always said my daughter if i ever had one was going to have dimples and if she didn't i was going to put nails in her cheek and you would get freaked out and said you didn't like the dimples. ha ha I'm sure your dad and mom didn't put nails in your cheek. I sure hope you are up there watching over all of us, please give your mom, Nina and Cody a sign, something to let them feel you and finally be at peace with all of this. I love you SO MUCH..Still after all of this time I still have this big lump in my throat. WHY!!!!!!

Rest In Peace My Friend

Dana, I love that you have created a place for friends and family to visit & read or just blog. Such a great way to keep thoughts & memories alive of Steph.
Thank You!

I'm Tammy, Nina has been my BFF for 18 years.
Stephanie, Anna, Cody.....they ALL mean so much to me.
When I heard of this memorial for Steph
I decided to forward my thoughts from my blogspot...

To my Best Friend, my second mom,
To all my family in Salt Lake City & Idaho…
It has been 18 years that I have laughed & loved the most of you.
My heart just aches for the depth of your pain.
It is absolutely tragic for8what you have all had to endure.
Stephanie was beautiful, funny, and compassionate.
She will be missed very much.

I have known Stephanie since she was 12 years old.
Size double 0 wranglers and long blonde hair. What a doll!
She had a dog named Shania, after Twain I believe!!
I remember when she gave birth to her first son- Dustin.
What a Beautiful little boy. Steph was such a good mommy.
All she ever wanted was to be like her big sis
and live in the forest as Snow White-Serious!!
When she married Rob (the love of her life) she had an outside
wedding at Grandma Glenna’s –
everything was pink and it was beautiful.
Especially her…I did her hair!
I really enjoyed spending that time with her.
She was so happy and so grateful and I was honored to do it.
When Justin & I were married, Steph, Rob (her husband)
& Anna (second mom) drove to Salt Lake just to attend my wedding.
I hope they understand how much that meant to me.
Anna has always been so wonderful to me.
I wish there was something…anything I could do for
her pain and emptiness that she is suffering.
18 years worth of friendship… I am grateful for that.

Steph brought a lot of laughs to my life.
She always said "I've been Countrified"! (Idaho)
Growing up, traveling to Idaho, visits in Utah, BBQ’s
Lava Family Reunions, Facebook, text messages…etc…
Steph had a secret little crush on Braxton-
she made him promise that when he turned 18,
he would go on a date with her.
He told me last night that he was on facebook a few nights ago
and that she popped on the instant messaging to remind him that they only had 2 1/2 years until they could hit the town!
He loved being flirted with by her.

Steph & Braxton dancing at my wedding


I love you all so much.
I am so so sorry that you are going through
such a horrible time right now.
I will always be here for you.

Rest in Peace my Friend- I Love You, Tammy

Doing What She Loved- Grooming Animals

My Little Sissy

Oh sissy I am going to miss you so mcuh - I dont even know how to start life without you - Thank you for always being there and being my friend - You are such a beautiful woman with so much love to give - I am trying to stay strong for mom and Cody but its really hard - I love you so much sissy- You are my girl - I promise I will always always tell Dustin and Kodie how wonderful there mother is. I love you honey I hope you have found peace - I hope that dad has answered all your questions - I love you
Your big sissy,
Nina

♥ To Nina, From her sister in Heaven ♥

I just wanted you to know. That I'll be with you wherever you go.

I've gotten my wings and learned how to fly. And I'll dry your tears whenever you cry.

Though I've went away and it seems we're apart. You will forever be my soul and my

heart. The love that we shared will not go astray. For deep in my heart it will always

stay. You held me close when I was filled with pain. And your smile gave me sunshine

when my life filled with rain. You guided me when no one else could. You protected me

when no one else would. We've shared so much that mere words can't express how

knowing you has made me feel truly blessed. So please dear sister, fret not for me, for

now my soul is truly free. So think of me often, as much as you can. And I'll always be

there to hold your hand. I'll be your angel and guide you through life. I'll give you comfort

through torment and strife. So thanks dear sister again and again, thank you always for

being my sister and my friend.

......

So the last couple of days, all I have thought about was YOU. It kills me that you are no longer here, but it kills me MORE that we were cousins and yet we lost touch of each other for so many years. I remember the times we shared, the laughs, the tears, and the love we had for each other. Although you moved and was far from me, we still talked, wither it was Hi, how are you, i love you, whatever we still made an effort to say something to each other. It kills me to know that I wrote something and it was not published, why I have no idea. Did I say something I wasn't supposed to, did my words not mean anything, who knows. I will know forever, what we had while we had it. No we weren't "close" cousins, but you were and will forever be MY COUSIN. I love you Steph, and miss you. And it sucks so bad that something this shitty had to happen for me to finally meet my other cousin, your brother Andy. It's shitty that something like this had to happen for me to finally get my butt up to Idaho. I was so looking forward to our time together next month, and you were so excited to come down and see everyone. I miss you, and if anyone thinks for one minute because we weren't close that I don't, they are so wrong. I wasn't that close to Uncle Kevin, I was 10 when he passed away, but did you know EVERY year til I was in 10th grade I would go and sit at his grave and just cry, and cry, I missed him so much, and I hardly knew him. My mom and dad have a picture of him and I together when I was younger and it still hurts. I hope you are happy finally being with your dad. I will miss you.
