To the entire Cornell family,

Stephanie and I went from kindergarten through graduation together. I haven't seen her in quite a while. When I did see her at the reunions, it was always a pleasure.

With deepest sympathy,

Scott Carter

I'm so sorry for your loss. I think of Stephanie every New Year's Eve. In 1990, we ate Chinese and then saw Dances With Wolves at Granite Run. She had us both save a piece of shrimp toast, and in the theater at midnight, we tapped them together in a "shrimp toast to the new year." Goofy and fun, just as she was. All my best to you and everyone whose life was made a little brighter with Stephanie in it.

Stephanie and I worked together in the Garnet Valley School District. We shared a love for The Wizard of Oz. When she retired, she gave me her Oz doorstop which I use to this day. May her memory be a blessing.

Christie, you and your family are in my prayers. I had reconnected with Stephanie via facebook…she would post the best childhood memories of us from Parkside elementary, please accept our deepest condolences.

I am very sorry, and shocked, by Stephanie's sudden and untimely death.

In this time of grief, my knowledge of her faith is a reassurance.

In this time of grief, may you know the truth that Jesus Immanuel is God with you even in this difficult time.

Marilyn and family I am so deeply saddened to hear this. Stephanie was so dedicated to you and family and sweet Toby. You are all in my prayers and you have my deepest condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for you. Stephanie was always so kind to everyone. It has been decades since I saw her but I can still recall her voice (especially as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz at the Swarthmore Players Club) and ever-smiling face:-)

Dear Marilyn, I am saddened by Stephanie's passing. What a beautiful, wonderful daughter you raised! She gave so much to others and used her God given gifts to help others. I send my condolences to you and pray for your peace and comfort.

I'm so saddened to see this. I never met Stephanie but we became friends on Facebook because we both went to Sun Valley High School and had some friends in common. I always looked forward to her posts. especially the ones with Toby in them. She was so dedicated to her mom and worried about her alot. I enjoyed the posts of Marilyn too. I was actually going to reach out to her since she moved back to see if I could come to the riverfront and meet her and Toby. I'm sure he misses her terribly. Thankfully they moved back up north and her mom has Christie and her husband close. I will really miss her Facebook posts. They brightened my day. My deepest condolences to her mom and sister. Such a tragic loss and too young.

Oh Marilyn, My heart is breaking hearing about Steph's passing. My favorite memory of her was the day we spent together exploring Falling Water, the Frank Lloyd Wright house. We had gone up to Pittsburgh together for Jen's Doctorate Ceremony and we decided to take a day just for ourselves and go play. What a magical house to visit with my friend who I could always count on to escape with me. The best day. I loved her very much.

My deepest condolances,

Stephanie Kuhlman

I M O SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS MARILYN. And to the whole family. She was so faithful when walking the dog.

My deepest condolences. I am saddened to learn of her passing. We had such fun times in Sun Valley Chorus. She was a great childhood friend who lived life to the fullest. I will always remember laughing with her and our mutual friends in band and chorus. Until we meet again in heaven.

I remember going to their house in Port St Lucie and she always had the house decorated for the holidays. Her mother Marilyn said that was from being an elementary school teacher. She inspired me to decorate for the holidays. Marilyn prayers and hugs to you.

Christie and Family, our condolences to you and your family. God Bless Stephanie. May she rest in peace.

Marilyn and Christie - My love, hugs, and condolences to you. I'm so saddened and dazed. Stephanie has been such a constant and dear part of my life. Our childhoods were so intertwined that every memory of elementary school involves Stephanie: playing at each other's houses, going trick or treating, getting the chickenpox, dance lessons and recitals, piano recitals, birthday parties, walking home from school, etc. Even after we moved from Brookhaven, there were parent bridge nights when the kids would get together, sleepovers, YPTW classes and rehearsals every weekend, YPTW shows, shooting our YPTW documentary, etc. And then there was college. Millersville University wouldn't have been the same - we were able to perform shows together again and continue our friendship. Stephanie has been such a presence in my life. I owe a lot to her. She brought me out of my shyness by convincing me to take theater classes with her. Stephanie always made her presence known with her bright smile, boisterous laughter, and vibrant stories. She was always fun to be around. I was so looking forward to seeing her more often since the move back to Delaware. She will be deeply missed, not just by me, but by the many, many people whose lives she touched. I love you, Stephanie and will think of you every time I see a rainbow.

Last weeekend, we celebrated the launching of the YPTW Alumni Association, and many of us talked about our dear Dorothy, and how glad we were that she had recently moved back up here. We were looking forward to many years of alumni activities that would include Stephie, and of which she would have been the heart and the sunshine, as she was at every gathering.

Stephie and I were in the same confirmation class at Middletown Prebyterian, and we had many converstations about G-d over the years, and I know her faith was central to who she was.

But I will always remember her as an animal lover, an actress, a singer, one of my mom's kids, and my dearest Dorothy. She always signed off every letter to me and every conversation with, "Goodbye, Scarecrow. I love you and I'll miss you".

I hope she is at peace over the rainbow and listening to all the blue birds. I know her dad and my mom were there to great her, and I hope one day to meet up with her too, along the Yellow Brick Road.

Goodbye, Dorothy. I love you. I'll miss you.

Stephanie and I first met when I started teaching at Garnet Valley School District. We immediately became fast friends because of our shared love of theatre. Early on, Stephanie and I co-directed The Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan. They were such joyful, wonderful experiences that we shared with some amazing kids.

We remained in touch even after she left teaching. I was grateful to be connected on Facebook, so that I could share in all her adventures. She was always a kind friend to me, and obviously devoted to her beautiful mom.

My condolences to her mom and sister during this difficult time.

May her memory be a blessing!
