Not sure what to say?

It's hard to believe it has been 12 years since Stephen passed away. I remember his smile and how much I enjoyed flying with him. Always a good day when I saw his name on the crew list with me! Thinking of you all on this anniversary.

Dear Doris & family,
Please except our deepest sympathy. Our Stephen was a wonderful loving & giving Angel on Earth.
My belief is that he went home & now is able to watch you from above.
His illness took so much out of him & from you. It is so difficult to watch a loved one suffer and so finally he went to rest with the Lord. There is a feeling of gratitude & at the same time great sadness.
Let the really special memories of Steohen prevail! He is with the Lord after...

Oh Stephen, you were too young to go, I had lost touch sadly, but thought of you often. I know your family's loss must be so painful, but you are now in heaven and there is great comfort that they will be with you again. You were such a blessing to know, a true sweetheart. Thank you for your generous spirit.

To Stephen's family: I just learned today of his passing. I had the great pleasure and honor of being one of his supervisors and friends at Delta. What a precious person he was, a blessing to all who met him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Bobby, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. It was heartwarming to read all the wonderful messages about your brother. Having a great man like you for a brother and the great Coplen family, how could Stephen not be a wonderful man. I hope your pain will be gone soon and only the joy remain.
Love,
Joan

Stephen May Your Wings take You to Your Dreams....You will be missed my friend, but the memories of Our flying together will live on forever....All the Best My Dear...Pam

I was so sad to learn of Steve's passing. He was in my initial flight attendant training class 30 years ago with Delta..and even though I never flew with him..he was loved from the very start of his career. He was kind, funny, an awesome flight attendant and had a warm smile and hug for all his friends. What a class act. He will be missed. My sympathy to his family. Steve, you are loved!

Uncle Stephen,

It was so sudden and unexpected, I felt like I never go to say good bye. Life is unfair sometimes; so many good people leave before they should.

I will always miss you.

Love,
Thomas

My Dearest Son Stephen,

I miss you everyday with your loving thoughts and all the lovely time we had together.

The time we had was not long enough.

God felt now was the time for your pain to end.

Miss you everyday and all your lovely sayings. Miss you "täglich".

You will never be forgotten.

With all my LOVE FOREVER, Mom
