Condolence: My husband of two years and I took a trip to Havre de Grace one mild day this past winter. We ended up parking not far from the Ritz and as we were passing the café, we took one look inside and had to go in. We sat in the window where the sun warmed us from our motorcycle ride into town. Our food was delicious and we will always remember our cozy lunch visit there. We did not know Stephanie personally but send her family our heartfelt condolences on her passing. May the memories with her keep you smiling until you reunite again.

Condolence: Today we said goodbye to Stephanie Anderson, who even though was technically my cousin, was always like an aunt to me. Growing up I remember going to Christmas parties at your house, which always had at least one table full of desserts (a wonderland for young me) and Uncle Timmy taking us to see you at the Ritz and eating ice cream. You gave me my first job (at the Ritz of course) and always made sure I ate my weight in chocolate each weekend. Afterwards when I came to visit you always made sure I got the biggest piece of chocolate cake you had. You were also the first person to hug me after Mema died. I wish you were here to hug me now because I really need it. But I know your up there with your Mom and Mema, Aunt Di and Uncle Timmy having a great time, far away from the pain you were in. You will be greatly missed.

Condolence: We were saddened to hear about the loss of Stephanie. She was a bright spot in our lives whenever we had the chance of seeing her. One of our highlights of coming east was seeing her at the Ritz where we were always greeted with a smile. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Condolence: I would like to offer my condolences to the Anderson-Costa family. Hopefully this scripture will give you comfort because God is promising us he will do away with man's worst enemy, death. This is found for us at Rev. 21: 3,4; "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. "And God himself will be with them." And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.") (For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt.) God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matthew 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. John 6: 40 tells us: "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day." This is a wonderful promise made to us by our heavenly father and I pray it brings you comfort and hope. I offer my sincere condolences to the family.

Condolence: So sorry for your loss Nord. You were always special to me and I'm sure Stephanie was wonderful. We never get over things, just through them. Love, Cheryl

Condolence: I was shocked and saddened to hear of Stephanie's passing. She will be greatly missed. Stephanie was a lovely women---- kind, generous, and talented. Her delightful Ritz Gourmet Cafe was one of her special gifts to Havre de Grace. She was beautiful, inside and out. My mother, Margaret Scarcille and I send our condolences to her family. Rest In Peace, Stephanie.

Condolence: Stephanie was our neighbor and our friend. For 15 years since they were small, The Ritz was also our boys' favorite restaurant. We spent many an evening with Stephanie there, eating tuna sandwiches and playing board games. Stephanie used to love it when I would bring my guitar there and entertain - I would always refuse to be paid or fed and she would always load me up with delicious food anyway! I will miss waving to her in her distinctive old cadillac as we passed each other on the roads. To her family and friends, Brenda and I offer our deepest condolences. David (and Brenda) Jaffe

Condolence: Stephanie's "Ritz Cafe" is such a treasure and retreat from the hectic and fast pace of life. The food and atmosphere that she created was one of a kind. Stephanie was always so pleasant. Everytime we would see her it would seem as if we were running into an old friend. She had a contagious smile and demeanor. We know that the community will greatly miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Condolence: My thoughts and prayers go out to the Family and friends of Stephanie. Such a talented person and Chief. We will miss her dearly. She has always supported my floral and gift business in town. When i was doing to close, she talked me out of it and gave me a new idea and direction for my business. Thank you Stephanie for your encouragement and friendship.

Condolence: I was quite shocked and sad to hear of Stephanie's passing as she was my boss at the Ritz for two years. Her bubbly personality and mannerisms will be greatly missed. An excellent chef, who ran her business with pride, and was such a big part of the community. She truly cared about her customers and staff, and would always greet everyone who came through the door with a smile... Great boss, and a great lady. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.
