[Ohio-talk] Sad news

[Deanna Lewis]

I too considered Stephanie one of my best friends. She and I met first at OSSB in 1998, when we were in 8th grade. We spent so much time together that year, it was one of the best years of my life. I think that both she and I were two of the slowest swimmers on the swim team that year! But, we never gave up! (smiles). After my year at OSSB, I decided to return to my local High School, and Stephanie and I lost touch with one another. When I attended my first NFB Convention in 2007, I was able to reunite with Stephanie and it was like we had never been apart. She and I have done so much together, including walking together at last year's Charity Day 5k in Columbus. 
I am heartbroken to hear that Stephanie lost her battle with pneumonia on Tuesday night. I kept praying that she would pull through this. I miss her terribly, and attending the NFB state Convention just won't be the same without her. 
Rest in peace my dear friend!

Greetings Federation family, it is with an extraordinarily heavy heart that I share with you that last night in the early evening hours a member of our Federation family lost her battle with pneumonia.
Stephanie Claytor has been in a medically induced coma  for approximately 19 days and the decision was made to let her rest last evening. Stephanie has been a lifelong friend of mine, we first met in 1989, and have been steadfast friends for as long as I can practically remember. She was one of the most profoundly kind people I’ve ever met in my life, and her physical presence will be missed, but her spirit, the sound of her laughter, and her exuberant personality will live on forever. At this time, no specific details are available, but please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.

 

Jordy D. Stringer.
You can achieve anything once you've imagined possibilities!
