Hello-My name is Suzanne Stephenson. My mother was Marcy Stephenson. She passed away a few years ago, but attended St. Christopher's. Bruce and Catherine were so very generous in taking my mother to and from church with them every Sunday. I heard of Bruce's passing and wanted to express my condolences. Please know how much I appreciate your kindness towards my mom. Peace and blessings to your family!
