Jenny I am so sorry to hear about Steve. I did not know that he was sick. I would see him at work and I would stop and talk awhile. He was such a gentle soul. I remember looking for him and not seeing him for awhile. I just thought that he was moved to another part of the institution to work. I was so saddened to hear this news. My prayers go out to you and your family.

In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” (Jesus' words)

To the Nemeth Family,
I hope the following passage of scripture will comfort you at this time of loss, knowing that God really cares for those who suffer. "For he will deliver the poor one crying for help, Also the afflicted one and whoever has no helper. He will feel sorry for the lowly one and the poor one, And the souls of the poor ones he will save. From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul, And their blood will be precious in his eyes."-Psalm 72:12-14

I did not know Steve very well, but the few times we spent time together we really had a fun time. It was easy to see that Jenny & Steve had a match made in heaven. I am so sorry he had to leave his family so early. Pam Sztukowski
