Bri\"\"<\/a>ef Biography of Stephanie<\/h2>\n

Stephanie was born on an All Saint's day--appropriately whitened by a skiff of snow. She was our first born--a special child, as our life's experience with her would reveal. She was born a natural way, without drugs, by the Husband-Coached Childbirth method or The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth<\/a>. In the nursery, while other new born infants slept, Stephanie was wide awake, looking around and studying her environment.<\/p>\n

She was a child that felt differently about everything. My mother, Minnie, said, \"Be glad because that is a sign that she is so intelligent.\" Her other grandmother, Stella Rich, said, \"Stephanie has an amazingly large vocabulary for a child.\" As soon as she learned how to write, she wrote in a series of journals. She also became a vegetarian early in her life. Later she became vegan, and finally a raw foodist. She went to Indonesia to learn yoga and to become a yoga instructor. She came back to Boulder to start an informal, secular church, with her former husband Patrick, which they called \"The Chocolate Church.\"<\/p>\n

Stephanie died on the afternoon of\u00a0 11 Jun 2007 at a Mt. Shasta resort, called Harbin Hot Springs<\/a>. She loved to soak in hot springs, and in this case, she chose the hottest of the pools. Suddenly out of nowhere, she went into cardiac arrest. Three physicians that were also in the pool performed CPR on her. At one time the color began to return to her face, but shortly there after she relaxed and died with a serene expression on her face.<\/p>\n
