What a beautiful post Jennifer. Stefanie will definitely not be forgotten, and her footprints on our hearts will remain forever. I'm actually making a donation to the Stefanie Matthews Fund, but also plan on making a donation to Conservation Fund when we visit in May.

Thanks for that posting Jennifer. It was great to see those pictures of Stefanie and her family. I don't know Cam or Luke but have been on passporter for a few years now and know Cam22 from posting. It was so sad to hear this news and I will remember Stefanie on our upcoming trip to WDW. I already donate alot to the Special Olympics as it was also a passion of a police officer that was killed in the line of duty that I worked with. I will make my next donation in her name. RIP Stefanie. You touched alot of people that you never even met.

A wonderful tribute to an exceptional girl. Princess Stefanie touched us all and will continue to do so. My family will also be donating to The Stefanie Matthews Fund as well as to the Conservation Fund on our next visit.

Thank you for the post. Stefanie was truly and angel on earth. I never me her but whenever I needed a pick me up, I would look for one of Cam's threads and Stefanie's incredible insights. I appreciate all that the family shared which just seemed to be part of their generous and loving spirit. to me, a donation to anyone of of Stefanie's causes is a wonderful way of passing her spirit on.
