Not sure what to say?

Jason, Ian and family are in our prayers. I'm still in shock over this tremendous loss.

Steve and Jeri were our great neighbors for many years. They will be terribly missed. Ian and Jason and the rest of the family are in our prayers.

My parents, Jack and Adrienne, were neighbors of Steve and Jeri. My father passed away in January, but my mom called me this morning very upset to tell me the news of this tragedy. We just wanted to send our thoughts and prayers to their family in this difficult time! We are sorry for your loss.

My wife and I were shocked at the news as were we all, but when it strikes family, it is perhaps more difficult. Steve and Jeri are in our prayers, that they may go from strength to strength in the life of perfect service, and may light perpetual shine upon them. They were remembered at the Holy Eucharist on the Sunday folowing news of the tragedy. Father Donald Seeks+, cousin of Jeri.

I was lucky enough to play under Coach Jaco for two years in the Panther Football program. He was a fantastic person with a great sense of humor, was quick to smile, had a great laugh, and all of my memories of him are warm. Playing football for Coach Jaco was a defining time for me as a kid, and it is a shame that he won't be able to have the same positive effect on more young people. He will be greatly missed.

My heartfelt condolence's and prayers to the families. I worked with Steve at TPC and at Performance Food Group. He was a great guy with a positive outlook . He will be missed.

Steve and Jeri were great neighbors to have. I will miss seeing them working in the yard, taking a walk through the neighborhood, or even the occasional conversation from time to time. They will be missed.

They will be missed. As my parents' next-door neighbors for a lot of years, they always waved and engaged in conversation. Jeri loved to catch up with my kids and gave them extra goodies too! :)
