I was very sad to hear of her passing at our 20th Reunion. She was so cool! The times we talked in a few english and Chemistry classes and lunch times were very meaningful to me. The words she would always say to me were like words I seemed to always hear from People but the way she would say it: Made a big impression of me coming from her. She was a Genius! I always looked up to her and when I had a hard time in some of my classes there were key people I'd go to for their help or explanation of what was dicussed in class. "Every time I see you coming down the hall Bernie- you always have a smile you always seem so happy" -we had some special talks... and then she'd say " I see you go from Lunch table to lunch table and you're with all these different groups of People". IT was probably because there were so many friends to make ha!!! I didin't want to miss out !!! I came from a small private school. CHS was so huge!!! I don't know how to get to Bill but I had the funnest of memory and times practicing for graduation with him on my row- He was so crazy and made us laugh. We were kinda nervous and he just kept us not stressing out, both in classes I had with him and in Practice for the ceremony, the actual Graduation... I remember Bill smiling away and Stacy always so focused, serious and very intelligent- I'm sure she felt some pressure to keep excelling.
Yes... My friend Stacy saw me smiling and visiting CHS kids in the smoking lounge to the DECA club-Rebels for Christ, The Gym to the music and Art/ Home Economic Dept's. It was because I had a special friend who I could talk to during my difficult and hard times His name was and is Jesus. He relieved back then and even today alot of my pressures!!! May the Holy Spirit comfort your family when they feel the pain of your absence because that's His job and our mutual CHS friends who think of you in these recent days. I send the word now that each person be strengthened and ministered to and find words to comfort each other as time nears for our 30 year reunion.Stacy you left such an impression on me. Thank you for your friendship! I could never forget you and I often lift up your family all these years later!!! Love you... Miss you Bill Rupp What a guy! May JOY be added to strengthen you daily or as you need it! (Psalm 23,27,34, and 91)

To My Friend Bill and Stacy Rupp & Family,I was very sad to hear of her passing at our 20th Reunion. She was so cool!
