Stephen Bruce Brown

Pastor and Nancy,
Words cannot express the loss I feel for the both of you.
The guest book was so special to read, what a loving son you raised.
True, he will be missed by many but we know that God needed another angel and indeed, He chose a special man.
It must be so lonely without him but knowing he is finally pain free must be of help. As well,knowing he is in the loving arms of Jesus must bring a wide smile.
I remember the days I would stroll thru the hallways, always...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

Thinking back at all of the great memories you will always have,
And now looking down and seeing tears from my Mom and Dad,
I am sorry that my time was taken so very quickly,
But Heavenly Father was tired of seeing me so sickly,
You see I was sick for many, many years,
Thanks for being there and showing me you cared,
Your my family but also my best friends,
and thanks for being there with me til the very end.

Pastor and Mrs. Brown.
Please let me tell you how much your son touched my life. He was one of my first patients at York Hospital, and he taught me about compassion, integrity, and courage. From the times we spent putting together puzzles in the middle of the night at York, to treating him in the ED at WDH, I will cherish his smile. He would always thank me even when he was feeling so bad,.Yet in hindsight, It was I who should have thanked him for all he gave me. I am, and will continue to...

I will always remember Steve for his gentle spirit. While I was not very close to Steve and did not have the privilege of spending much time with him, I am reminded of a time when a group of us from church went out to eat. Steve was so happy just to be there in the company of his friends, and I got to know him just a little bit better that day. He didn’t have much to say, but he didn’t have to say much… his countenance said it all… he was just glad to be there. From reading the many...

Dear Pastor Bruce & Nancy,
We were sad to read about Stephen. In Titus 2:13 reads "Looking for the Blessed hope" Oh, how we need the Lord to come and end the seperation of our love ones. 1 Thess. 4:16, "For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first", v18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

May the Lord give you grace and stength in the days to...

Pastor Brown and Nancy...my thoughts and prayers are with you .. and my heart goes out to you at this difficult time and in the days ahead...Angela (Harry and Donna Smith's daughter and Inez and Dick's granddaughter)

Dear Pastor and Nancy,
It is Thursday night...no I guess it is Fri.am. I am still in awe of the "family gathering" at the church tonight and I am musing on all that was shared. I do not wonder that lives were touched and people changed. I felt the power of God as the wonderful story was told. No wonder the photographer and others were so drawn to you. God's Love,his mercy, grace and peace were what the pressure of the trial revealed. The "fourth man" was there. No smoke, only a sweet...

I regret to say that I didn't relly know Steve personally. He was a fun guy to hang-out with though. It was also neat to see watch the close relationship he had with his parents. My prayers are with you guys and the body in South Berwick. Love you guys.
