Stephen will always be in our hearts. Jackie was the last of the older generation to pass but Stephen is the first of his generation. We love and are praying for his family. We will be watching the funeral.

I loved Stephen's smile!
He's with my Daddy (E. L. Stephens) now in Heaven.
I can remember Stephen walking up the road to Daddy's house! He loved "helping" Daddy on the farm.
