Sympathy to the Stephens family. Curt's father and I were lifelong friends, growing up in Rehoboth in the 30's and 40's. I need to say Curt is a exact image of his father.

On the wings of Angels they fly high,
Looking down on us from Heavens sky,
And forever memories of them shall last,
Until our lives on Earth have past.
May your faith sustain you and family and friends comfort you, at this most sorrowful time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Monica, Bob, Rob (Liz) and Eric Russell
