I would like to express my condolences to the Schoonover family and friends. I will always be grateful and remember the support we received from Steve, Susan and their family when Alex passed away. Steve presented Alex´s eulogy at her service, which was also at the Scout Lodge. Many prayers and thoughts to all of you during this time.
Respectfully, Nina Boone (Malcomb)
