I will truly miss my friend and brother in the Lord. Although we shared different views on which team was number 1, UF or FSU we were friends.He was one of very few that could get me to wear orange and blue. He was Awesome, kind and had a heart for the children.
Mrs. Stiefel I can only imagine but know that my family and I are praying with you and for you. Let your light continue to shine.
