Dear friend: I just found out of your depart and I'm sad I didn't get to say hello. Your charming and carefree personality game me so many laughs and I will cherish your memory for a long time. I will keep you and your family in a special place in my heart. XOXO Jessica

I am just hearing of this news and my heart has sunk. I cant believe you are gone. Your smile and laugh was enough to light up any room. I will forever miss you but will never forget you. Beyond this world until the end of time i know your spirt will be near.

Shade of my heart you will always be remembered.

Hi, I just wanted to say hi to Stephanie. I haven't seen or spoken to you maybe til sometime after high school. We were friends then. We lost touch and I had been looking for you since not knowing you have an alias of Rayvan. I just found out you have left the physical world and on to greater things. I am happy to have known the good person you were and still remember you coming over hanging out at my house. Good memories. You will be missed.

Rayvan was a delightful girl; happy I knew her. She will be missed.

My boyfriend Bryce talked about you so much and was so excited because we were going to come visit you, I am sorry we never made it, but we will see you again soon. With love, Bryce.

What a spectacular and vibrant woman she was. I was blessed to have her shortly in my life and she'll be someone I'll always remember and hold dear to my heart. Love you, babe...always.

Sweet girl, I just heard you were gone. Your light will continue to shine through all whose lives you touched.

Steph, you will be missed I only knew you a short time but that was enough! Your beautiful soul will shine forever....Love you kid!

Rest in peace. I will always love you. <3

A beautiful soul and friend gone too soon. I will never forget our time together, always an adventure. You never failed to make me smile. I love you and miss you sweet lady.

Stephanie, we only visited for a short time. You were a delight to get to know.
You will be greatly missed, rest in peace and may you fly with angles

Stephanie a/k/a Rayvan touched & left an impression on the lives of everyone she met.  We were all blessed with the radiance of her smile & the warmth of her embrace, and a number of us have also been blessed with the "puppy love" she spread across the country.  Those dogs are living symbols of the unconditional love she gave.  Ace & I love & miss you, Ray, & look forward to seeing you again!

Stephanie, you always brought so much excitement and fun wherever you went. We spent New Year's 2011 together and absolutely lit up everyone's night. So much energy and a creative love for fashion, you were truly unique. I'll miss you and hope there is no more pain or sadness where you are now.

John,
I was so sorry to hear about Stephanie. She is a huge loss to you and I know that you have many beautiful memories. Think of those memories and they will ease your pain. may God bless you and your family.

I still am at a loss for words by this news. My deepest condolences to your family and other friends, as this a devestating blow to all whom loved you dearly. You were such a beautiful girl with a smile that could light up a room, a personality so addicting and a wonderful friend to everyone you met, myself included. I was very lucky to have met you and you being a part of my life. I hope you find the peace you were unable to in this life. Until we meet again I love you and will miss you more than words my beautiful Rayvan Angel.

I still remember the first time that I met you. I can't believe that you're gone. It's hard to imagine a world without your smile and laugh. You brought light to so many lives and you have touched mine. You're indelible forever inked in my heart.

I've known Stephanie since high school. She had the kindest heart out of anybody i know, and always was uplifting to those around her. She will forever be loved and missed. R.I.P.

 The more I think about it, the more it hurts. The world will never be the same without Ms. Rayvan Payne.

From everyone here in Lewes, DE - you were a daughter to us and will be well remembered through the life and light you brought into our home and into our lives.  The joy of the pups you and Harrison gave us will continue to be a blessing, and always keep us in remembrance of you. You will be missed dearly.

I've only known her a few years, but in all that time she was always fun to be around and a good friend. I'll miss her

Offering condolences to the family and friends for the passing of such a beautiful young lady. From all the expressions many are deeply grieved and will truly miss her, but during this time may all lean on God for comfort and the strength to cope with each passing day.-Psalm 46:1

I wish I could've been there to keep you safe. I wish I could be at your viewing/funeral to see you one last time. I'll come see you soon as I'm able. I miss you. I love you. Thank you for always being the beautiful person that you were.

I love you, Twin. I always have an always will. You meant so much to me. It was always so reassuring knowing that if no one else in this world got me, you did. You were always a great friend to me and I'll miss you forever. You'll live on in my heart and in our shared memories for as long as I shall live. I never wanted to ever say good bye to you so I won't start now. I'll see you on the other side, Twin.

You will be so very missed. Hope you are at peace, and hope to see you again someday.

Only known u for a short time but u where a beautiful person

Stephanie, I met you one month ago and I will never forget my reaction when introduced to you for the 1st time...You are so pretty! I was immediately drawn to your caring, soulful personality. We are kindred spirits on so many levels and I cry to think I will not be able to share ideas with you. I found out yesterday that your favorite color is purple. I will wear purple in your honor on Friday. When I think of you (and it will be often, I'm sure)I will smile to know I was fortunate to meet a young lady with much to offer. Rest in peace my dear sweet girl.

Know that you were loved and are greatly missed.  You always knew how to make someone feel welcomed when they showed up and you always lit up a room with a wonderful smile.  I will miss you Stephanie and will always cherish the memories that were made in life.  Rest in Peace.

ill miss you doll you were one of the most wonderful/loving/caring/awesome people ive ever met always bringing a smile to a face in need of it. you'll always be in our hearts and never forgotten love, RIP stephie ill always remember the great memory's we had especially me you an vicki

My condolences to the family. I knew stephanie since i was 15 years old. Havent seen her in years cause she was a little migrater. Over here, over there, this way that way. She was such a great person, and she will be greatly missed. Love you, ray. Wish I could have made it to say my goodbyes. RIP

I only met Stephanie once but you could tell she was an amazing person. Becky, I am so very, very sorry about your loss of your wonderful sister and pray that God will wrap you in his arms during these hard times. Love you!

Rayvan was one of the best and beautiful souls to have ever graced this earth.  It has been such an honor to call her my friend throughout the years.  I loved her more than she probably knew.  Your light, love and laughter will never be forgotten.  <3 <3 <3

you were such an amazing Soul - VERY few have ever moved me the way you have. I may never be able to fully reconcile your being gone, and you will FOREVER be "In My Middle" :) <3

I shall miss dancing with you, raging with you, and I shall miss you most of all. I am glad the we had so many good times together, but sad that I have to wait for the next one. I rejoice your life. Til next time lovey.

It's apparent from reading the guest book that I didn't know "Ray" well enough, but with her passing, I realize someone special and dear is missing from our lives.

My family extends our deepest sympathies to the McDonald family and those close to Ray.

Bill Skelton (Harrison's Uncle)

I really have no way to exspress my emotions about the loss of your life. I have been best friends with your sister becky for 12 years and you were like a sister to me also. I enjoyed the time I got to spend with you. I can't wait till we meet again in heavan. Stephanie I love you dearly. You were a remarkable person and will never be forgotten by anyone. You touched so many lives boo

Stephen & John, I'm so sorry for your loss

you were very special to me.I am glad that God put you and your family in my life...You were so beautiful,sweet and loving...I am going to miss you deeply..I know that God has you in his arm.And you and him are watching over us all,i love you

I'm very happy Rayvan, as I knew her, was part of my life and saddened at her loss. She was a sweet, wild, beautiful bundle of joy at many of the events I photographed. She was fun to be with and added spirit and energy to many wonderful nights. I will remember her creativity, her smile and the way she giggled. I will miss her.

Been ten years almost since our days in Old Town, but I still remember what a sweet, impish little pixie you were. Say hi to Henry for me =(

She was such a sweet young lady. I'll always remember her hanging out at The Haunted Grimm House of Old Town when we were working. She will surely be missed.

You were beautiful beyond all comparison. The world is such a dimmer place without your laughter and your smile.

I knew Stephanie since the 1st grade and she was the best friend I ever had, but more than that she was a sister to me. I never knew anyone with so much life in her, or as much love. I love her and I'll always miss her.

I know your in heaven with Henry, I loved you like my own, I hope now that you are both at peace Our hearts are broke that you left us so soon, rest my little one all my love

you'll be missed greatly. you were like family to mom and me. Love you sis. you touched so many people and so many lives. may you sleep peacefully.

You were there for me at such a crucial time in my life and I am sorry that I didn't return the favor.....

Dwell on and remeber only the wonderful things you shared during her short time with you. Myron Blattner
