To The Closs Family,
I just found out about your loss. I went to Lee-Davis High School with Steve and shared many great times with him and Paul growing up....from shooting pool at his house or just hanging out. He was just a terrific friend and will be missed by everyone that he came in contact with. The last time I saw him was at one of our Class Reunions and I will always remember that time.
All of you are in my heart and prayers during this time.

Dear Rebekah,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I pray that God gives you the fortitude to bear it. We might be separated from those we love for a while, but there's always the hope of meeting them again in heaven.

Closs Girls-

My memories of your dad during my high school years are so vivid. From football games to high school dances, he was always present. He was a good man who lived for his family.

You are all in my thoughts. See you Saturday.
