09/09/08 we love you.

i remember me and steph riding around on quad bikes, and going up a huge hill in 5th gear, then the engine cut out.. and me teasing her about jasper.. xxx

Even though i didn’t now steph i still miss her, i remember i was jealous of her great beauty, her long brown hair and the wonderful smile of hers.miss steph. .Rest in peace steph. I feel sorry for her family and friends. I pray for all of them. I went to phcs and catch the bus with her. Didn’t talk to each other but I knew who she was. That night was horrible for all the girls in the car but it was an accident. Ily Stephanie Evans

My dearest Steph, I miss your smile. I miss your laugh. I miss your hair. I miss your eyes. I miss your goofy jokes. I miss YOU. I cant believe I'm going to go back to Australia and you're not going to be there, it just hasnt hit me hard enough yet. I know you're in a better place, but it's just so hard to accept. Know that I love you so much <3 Ian, Marian and Morgan, I cant imagine how hard it is on you guys. Just know that you have family here in Abu Dhabi who are praying for you. You are always on our minds and in our hearts. We will visit you when we come back in July, but for now, stay strong, and keep pushing through. Love you guys loads. - Naomi and the family

Steph was one of the most beautiful girls i had ever met. We would wait for steph to arrive with that smile she always had on her face. Youth formal was one of the best times i had with her, she looked so pretty. Steph, you have made such an impact in so many peoples lives. You are such an amazing girl and i know that you are in a better place now. I cant wait till i see you and your smile again. We all miss you very much. Steph your with god now and you shall keep smiling. i love you babe. rest in peace.

I knew Stephanie as a teacher at Pacific Hills in Year 1 and again in Year 4. What a great kid she was, with a smile that could light up the room even then. She would look at me with the most quizzical looks as she tried to understand what we were talking about and then just grin. My thoughts and prayers are very much with her family at this time. She was such a beautiful child. Hold her memory close and cherish it.

When trouble fills my world You bring me peace You calm me down You're my relief When walls come crashing down around my feet You light my way You're my release So say you'll watch over me When I'm in too deep Tell me you'll always be There to pull me free When the sun is beating down upon my brow You are my shade You cool me down Every time i tried to turn away You brought me 'round Your humble way So say you'll watch over me When I'm in too deep Tell me you'll always be There to pull me free There to rescue me For every time you sheltered me from harm You showed me truth Kept me warm Every time you left me on the street I found my way I found my feet So say you'll watch over me When I'm in too deep Tell me you'll always be There to pull me free There to rescue me

steph was an absolutely beautiful girl inside and out with a gorgeous smile ... she was always smiling and happy, i will miss her very much ,she was always kind and loving adn she gave great hugs! :) i miss you steph and i know ur in a better place now ... i loveyou xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxox

Stephanie was a valued student, always willing to lend a helping hand to others that needed it. Her passion for what she loved and her caring nature meant she was liked by all peers and teachers alike. A devasting story of a life that was taken away. A caring heart and a warm soul . Steph will be missed by so many of her dancing buddies. We are thinking you and your family in our prayer. Love Miss Mel and Miss Keira Noble

Stephanie Evans, you where such a beautiful person on the inside and out. i will miss your jokes, i will miss your bubbly personality, i will miss getting in trouble for talking to you in class, i will just miss you so so so much. r.i.p love you <3

it was a glorious friday afternoon. me steph and georgia were getting ready for youth at my house. we felt like getting a little SEXY!! so we stripped down to our undies added heels and pumped the music up as we lived out our dreams of being a missy elliott back-up dancer. as i was doing some great wall movement mum walked in little did steph and georgia know that she was standing right, steph was giving a real ho-down on the bed with her cowboy hat and georgia was getting down asian style! soon to their shock (First Steph, Georgia still had no idea!) they kicked of their heels and tried to hide their SEXY bodies! it truely was a day never to forget! thanks steph for the show! I first met steph when i was in year 6 i was dating her brother and she would always sneak up from junior school to hang out. rather fun really. she's so bad ass!! it's been great to now still of been able to be apart of her life and see her grow up to be this HOT AS WOMAN!!! Steph and Georgia were the best combo you could get! they made life that little bit more exciting and sexy! I LOVE YOU STEPH!!! and you'll never be forgotten. thanks for the memories. but you really were a little TOO GOODLOOKING!!!

Stephanie Evans first introduced me to the fabulous taste we all know as Vege Chips. I first came to know her on a mission trip to Outback Australia in 2007. She is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met, and there is not a bad bone in her body. I pray that through this tough time that we see Jesus through it all, and know that He is still here in our hearts carrying us through. We will miss you greatly Steph, but we know you are in a far better place now. Love you babe

you are beautiful steph. may we thank god for giving us such a treasure. and though your time was short. our memories of you will last a lifetime. our times listening to my ipod were great. im sorry i didnt come to jack johnson babe. i love you xo

Steph was an amazing young woman, she shone like the light that glistened off the edge of a diamond.. Stephanie was the light in the darkness and always had a heart for others, everyday she glided through the earth with no worries in the world, always thinking of others. she had so much beauty, every morning i would see her face, her beautiful face, so happy.. i pray that God will bring the Evans family peace, and guideness to all her friends and those who have compassion and sympathy for this horrible tragedy. i love you, and miss you terribly steph.. you will never be forgotten

I didnt know her at all but my heart goes out to all who know her. May you rest in peace Stephanie

It is soo sad that this has happened. I will pray for stephanie tonight.

Steph She was an amazing person. Never mean always nice, kind and extremely thoughtful. She was a great friend always there. An amazing dancer able to do anything. Steph we will miss you so much especially all the time we spent together at our street parties and sleepovers and just having fun. You were the greatest. We will miss you. God has taken one of our angels and we will miss her teribbly. M, I and M you are in our pray's We love you, miss you and we always remember you. Love: Michaela, Briana, Cara, Angela, Hazel, Angus, Adrian, Tim and Madison

Stephanie was a big part of my daughters life for some 8 years & I spent many a day at soccer with her family as the girls mucked around in the dirt or with a soccer ball. Her smile, beautiful heart & compassion for others will live on in the ways she has touched our lives. My prayers are with M, I & M - I cannot imagine the emptiness you feel right now but I'm praying you'll hold onto the fun times, the trips & the ways she added to your family. For all her friends, keep her alive by talking about her & remember God has her close to His side right now, extending the hug we'd all prefer to be giving her ourselves. You were a blessing to know Stephanie.

she would always hate it when people had their eyes wide open. it would freak her out so much! and once we were at the shops a woman had her eyes wide open, and she almost started crying. steph, you were trully great, and you have blessed me so much! you were wild, and courageous. Thank you for the memeories that I will always remember.

My family and I are deeply saddened and shocked. Stephanie has been our children, Daniel and Kate's, babysitter for a long time. She was kind, thoughtful and full of fun and a beautiful young girl. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her parents and brother during this devastating time. Her wonderful smile is something I will never forget!

I met Stephanie through my niece, Sabine. The two danced together, shared dreams together and loved each other's company. This news is so tragic and unexpected. My heart goes to Stephanie and her suffering, her family and all her friends who feel such intense pain and loss. May we all remember Stephanie for the wonderful person she was. She will always be beautiful in our minds.

Steph, for so many years you lit up my life. You'd always be there for me, and I for you. We'd planned so much of our future; wanted to go on a cruise after school; wanted to start salsa classes. You'll always be in some of my best memories, whether at dancing, camping, or at the various events we went to. You'll be with me, wherever I go, for the rest of my life. If only we could have had more time . . . You'll always be my best friend, and I'll miss you . . .

Steph, dancing just wasn't then same once you were gone. i remember the night we all found out. we sat and cried but managed to find some memories we could laugh about. you were an amzing girl and a beautiful dancer. i just wish that we could have been closer. you were truly amazing and insperational <3

This news is just horrible. I'm glad that the others are safe and I hope they recover. I am deeply sorry for the loss of Stephanie. I can't imagine how her parents must be feeling.
