In the 23 short months she was here on earth, she touched so many lives. She was and always will be my baby girl, my sweet angel, and my little ray of sunshine. Stevie will now be my little angel in heaven and will shine down on us always. She was so special and so beautiful. Stevie had the biggest, bluest eyes that would steal anyone's heart, and did! She was a loving child so full of life. Stevie loved "vroom vrooms", motorcycles, cars and trucks. She especially loved riding on the four-wheeler with her "Gampa Danny" and she loved playing peek-a-boo with her "Gamma ChrisDee". Stevie was always singing and dancing to her favorite show "The Wiggles". We will all miss her cute personality, her laughter, and those beautiful big blue eyes. We love you Stevie and you will be in our hearts forever. You will always be mommy's little sunshine.
