This is a very strengths based article, the writer did well in his how he listed her behaviors. The writer never accused this young lady of wrong and even listed her challenges ‘as alternative medicine and alternative lifestyle’. R.I.Paridise Stephanie.

Since when is “alternative medicine” prescription drugs and alcohol? Yes this is a sad story but it is reflective of Arcata’s new time. A pseudo business that exists because of pot and an alternative lifestyle which is about drugs and alcohol and not alternative medicine. This is a life lost to a lost lifestyle. And it is sad and tragic.

The story doesn’t say anyone was a drug addict. If you have issues with the listed cause of death you should take it up with the Humboldt County Coroner’s Office.

So… she was a pot-growing drug addict who most likely caused her “dream store” to go up in flames. Neat article.

I am so saddened by the loss of this beautiful soul. Her family loved her very much and she loved them and everyone else. One mistake does not a life make.

I receiced 3 copies of this newspaper..at first I was shocked…about the blue at the hospital and the DOA part… about being left alone at the hospital(!!!!!!!????) ARE YOU CRAZY?? That NEVER HAPPENED!!!Good one….that might happen too you someday but in the case your facts ARE TOTALY WRONG!!..then I realied that Steffy died in Sept. and you are still running the most hateful and painful things things you can about her…she goes out with friends, get’s in one agurement…takes somes she does not know any thing about…AND WOW WHAT A STORY A IT’S HEAD LINES!!! I sent a copy to our Belfast Family…they told me not to worry…Hell has a lot of STORY TELLERS in it….half truths do not make a story, I am sure you can turn your love and attetion to the living…or do they fight back!!???
My sister said that this paper printed some other unkind words about how Steffy got the money for this store…(mom. me, cousins in US and Ireland…what a shocker)….Steffy…paid for cancer med’s and treatment for a friends father…she helped others with her kindness, love and never judged anyone….at her WAKES…people came from all over the world….they would stand up and tell how their parents were going to lose their farm and she helped, she took the time to talk to the bank and helped with back payments, she had took in who kids that needed help.. clothed them, fed them and helped them realize not to listen the the mean sick people of this world….they take and take and never care about anyone, what they say or who they hurt…
And oh..when you asked me if she just fell in with a bad crowd…the answer was NO…it was not until she moved to your little corner of the world that Steffy found out…that you’ll where growing,picking and (?) cutting grass! What’s cutting??
So.. move on…talk about who’s growing, who’s doing what ever…you can make up about them….and quit running your lips about…someone that you still can’t get out of your mind and move ON!!! Friday…

I remember covering that blaze for The Eureka Reporter. She was quite distraught, but positive nonetheless. It saddens me that she died due to drug/alcohol overdose.
