I just recieved a book that belonged to Stephanie
as a child. Her name is printed inside. I got it
at a garage sale two houses down from mine. I met
her parents and they were SO nice! I'm going to
read Enter Sandman as soon as I can!

I heard an August 11 2004 episode of "the
Howard Stern Show", where Howard talks about
an article in Glamour magazine that his girlfriend
made him read, about a female journalist that
discovered she had cancer. Howard talked
about how the article touched him, and said he
would be reading the womans book. As he describee
the article, it brought me to tears, because I
myself had lost my mother in October 2003 of
Cancer. Anyways, he eventually mentioned the
jounalist he was talking about was named Stephanie
Williams. I figured i would come here and check
out some of her work. Hopefully in the near
future we our scientist will have the ability to
find a cure for these things.

Ok, I read the Glamour article and vowed I would
never forget this remarkable woman who had the
courage to share her story. I then was reading in
another magazine a review for Enter Sandman and
realized that I needed to read the book. I
immediately left work and went to the bookstore to
get it and pretty much was glued to it when I
wasn't taking care of my family or working. (I
think my husband is still a bit irked that the
house went to pot over a few days.) What a
touching story... I am at a loss for words and
that is generally never an issue for me. I cannot
begin to express how this story - how Ms. Williams
has touched my life. I can only try to convey that
I truly envy those who knew her and like the last
line in the Glamour article, hope that someday
this goofy housewife and mother of two will make
such an impact as well.

Just got done reading "Enter Sandman"
and for those who have not read it yet and expect
to cry...believe me, you will laugh twice as much.
Stephanie has crafted an intriguing cast of
characters which reflect her insight into human
nature. Reading this book helped me to realize
that my petty problems are just that...petty. And
it helped me to realize that each new sunrise I
get to see is a gift not to be squandered. Thank
you, Stephanie, wherever you are. Your family
should be VERY proud. This is a GREAT book.

When an article heads 'by the time you read this
I may be dead', or words to that effect, it
really makes you sit up and listen. Stephanie is
just one of many thousands of women who suffer
because of this terrible disease, but the way she
chose to finally express herself and her story is
truly remarkable. Tears blurred the last page of
the article as I read on, and over the past few
weeks, I have found myself striving to make as
many people as possible aware of her story.
Much love to her family and friends, no
words can console you but being able to take such
pride in your daughter's bravery may be of some
comfort. God bless.

What a terribly sad story, Stephanie will always
be remembered, by those that knew and loved her
and by the thousands that have been truly moved by
her amazing and courageous story. Rest in peace,
we won't forget you.

I just read Stephanie Williams' article in
Glamour over my lunch hour. I cried through the
whole thing. Having just been married, it broke
my heart to read that she would never marry the
man of her dreams and would never hold a child of
her own in her arms. I tore this article out of
the magazine and will always keep it. Her
strength, courage and honesty touched me in a way
that I will never forget. My prayers are with her
mother, sister, father, Gus and everyone who was
lucky enough to have had their lives touched by
her existence.

I just read Stephanie Williams' article and I cried so
hard I barely made it through the article. Her
bravery and attitude towards life and death has
touched my life and soul. No story has opened my
eyes and poured a river like this one. I lost
a brother to cancer - he was 34. God Bless
Stephanie's family she was an Angel with a
special message for all of us and after reading
her atricle each and everyone of us knows what
that message is.

I, too, just finished reading the article in
Glamour magazine that Stephanie wrote and only now
have I composed myself enough to sit down at the
computer and formulate my thoughts to be able to
write this. What a tragic end to the life of a
wonderful person... my heart goes out to
Stephanie's family & friends, as well as to
anyone else whose life crossed paths with hers. I
take comfort in knowing that her suffering is now
over with and that she is most definitely in a
better place, probably watching over everyone she
knew and loved. If that is the case, I'm sure
she is glad to know that she IS being
remembered... and is continuing to touch people's
lives even after her death. I look forward to
reading her book. God bless each and every one of
you...
