Mrs. Schneider, I am Steven Taylor's mother. You both have been an inspiration and friend to Steven and we will never forget your kindness. Steven was thankful for the interest Mr. Schneider showed in him and the encouragement when he decided to become a Marine. My prayers are with you and your family as you grieve the loss of this special man.
