I wish to express my deepest regrets to the family of Stephen Wall. I was blessed to have the opportunity to rent several units from the McKinley Group for my homeless clients. Stephen always went out of his way to work with me and those clients in order to assist them in returning to self-sufficiency. He was a kind and wonderful spirit, someone that you do not meet everyday in business. My heart is truly heavy this evening with hearing of his passing. I will keep him mother and family in my prayers. Peace & Blessings

On behalf of the Charlotte Chorale we would like to extend our deepest sympathy. Stephen sang with us for years dating back to when we were the Philharmonic Chorus. He was a gentle man and always made us laugh with his quick wit. He was an angel on earth and is now an angel in heaven.

I am bereft over such an awful, unexpected loss. Stephen was a colleague and client of mine in Charlotte. But, more importantly, he was a gentleman and "great guy." He will be greatly missed.

Mildred,
How very tragic to have to say goodby to a son! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the extended family. You will continue to be in my prayers for God's comfort and peace that He alone can give.

In Christian love,
