Judy: Although it's difficult today to see beyond your sorrow, knowing the close relationship Steve had with our Lord will hopefully comfort you and your family the rest of your tomorrows. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. A wise person once said, "While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil."
God Bless You Always, Your sister in Christ,
