To Stephen's friends and family. I am sorry for your loss. Stephen just worked with us at Reading Market Basket for just a short time. We didn't get a chance to know him well. From what I saw, he was a quiet, polite, hard working young man. Keep all of your happy memories of him close to your heart to help you through the difficult times. We will keep Stephen in our thoughts. Reast Easy Stephen <3
