Not sure what to say?

I will love you forever and miss you every day.

Mr Stencel being not only my childhood neighbor was my best friend's father. Spending just as much time at his home as my own, the Stencels are both my adopted parents. My second family will always be just as important as my first. Mr Stencel was patient with a young me, and for that I am sure he has Sainthood. God Bless all that knew him. Better off we are were.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
