Not sure what to say?

To all the Karel family & many many extended families.... What a shock it has been to hear about Steve. He's my "little" cousin & I remember a few memories of his mom, my aunt Helen, flushing his rear end, in grandma O'Toole's toilet, when he had a WHOOPS!! Of course, that was a very long time ago & many other things have happened for him, knowing the Lord the way I'm sure he has. He's in a MUCH better place, now. We have to let them go, when God calls. I will just smile thru the tears &...

I am very sorry to hear about your loss, I did not know Steve, but I did know Sharon from Rogers High School. Bonnie Owen told me about Steve today while talking on the phone. Your family has my deepest sympathy.

I remember talking to Steve one time at a 7/11 about his faith in Jesus and how important that was to him back in the softball days. It was a big help for me. Jane & I will pray for you guys

My mother Margret Rawson and I Ellen Price have known the Karel Family for years. We both send our sympathy at the passing of a son and brother. We are praying for the Karel family at this time.

We offer our condolences to the Karel family. We are praying that the Lord grant you peace in this very difficult time. Steve was a dedicated and loyal employee and friend for many years and we will miss him.

My deepest sympathies to the whole Karel family. May God show Himself to you in a very special way at this time. I have many fantastic memories of Steve.

I graduated with Steve from Rogers and always remember him as such a nice guy that was always laughing and smiling! My sympathies are with your family.

Dear Karel Family, I was one of Steve's High School Sunday School teachers.
On one occasion I shared with the class how my house had been T.P.d. Steve and Don Brooks thought that was a cool thing, and asked if I would teach them how to T.P. a house. It didn't take much coaxing. A Saturday evening was chosen, paper products purchased, and I picked up those two rascally guys. We headed to Karl and Wanda Roots house. I parked about 50 yards from the house and gave final instructions,...

Aunt Helen and Family. Bill and I will keep you and your family in our prayers. May the love and peace of our Living Lord Jesus be with you and your family in this time of grieve.
