KSHB 41: Family partners with The Roasterie to honor late daughter, benefit Children's Mercy

By Juyeon Kim

A special cup of coffee at The Roasterie will benefit families staying at Children’s Mercy Hospital.

The "Comfort Cup" was created in honor of Nora Jane, who was born at 23 weeks and spent 11 months in the NICU before passing due to an illness.

"Probably the bravest person I’ve ever met," Brian Stockinger, Nora Jane's father, said. "The ability to speak of her and talk about her and share her stories with others is her legacy."

Her parents, Mary Sciortino and Brian Stockinger, say during that difficult year, a cup of coffee at The Roasterie’s Children’s Mercy location was a sense of normalcy they needed.
