Stephanie Sarah Barela
January 23, 1987 - June 24, 2009

This beautiful young lady was the second to the eldest child of the 4 children of John & Michelle Matthews and Granddaughter of Arthur Santistevan, the late Bessie Redshirt Matthews and Margaret Tyon. She had a golden heart that was taken suddenly from our lives due to a brief illness. God wanted her in his Kingdom to have eternal life. In her young life she found joy in being a volunteer, especially working on the soup lines. While attending Baker Middle School she made Honor Roll, received Awards of Excellences and Certificate of Merit in Math from Baker, she went to West High School. Stephanie had struggles in high school and was unable to finish but she had the insight and fortitude to see the importance of completing high school and was working hard to reach this personal goal. She loved being the BIG sister and sharing so many secrets, simple things of life and events with her siblings and this love was also shared with her parents, niece, nephew, and grandparents. She was a pretty huge fan devoted to her Broncos and Nuggets. She touched our lives and will live on in our hearts and memory. Stephanie is our ANGEL.

New GI Bill Applications Triple VA Benefits On-line Business

To date, VA has received more than 25,000 claims for education benefits during the first two weeks that veterans and servicemembers can apply online for the new Post-9/11 GI Bill. The number of education benefits’ applications submitted in the first week was more than three times the rate of benefit applications usually received through the Veterans Online Application system (VONAPP). VONAPP is used for all education benefit programs, as well as for submission of applications for VA disability compensation and pension benefits. The unprecedented volume of first-day applications slowed the system for some, but by the next morning performance was fully restored. Veterans can apply on-line through the GI Bill Web site at www.GIBILL.VA.gov. Additionally, paper applications are accepted at VA regional processing offices located in Muskogee, Okla.; Atlanta, Ga.; St. Louis, Mo.; and Buffalo, N.Y. Veterans applying now receive a “Certificate of Eligibility” and information about their benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Applicants may expect to receive their certificate within 24 days of submission. VA cannot pay benefits until Aug. 1, 2009.
