Steve, Angela, Cameron and family,
Dottie and I want you to know that we are thinking of you and sending our prayers. Sorry we missed the service and sorry to lose a long time friend. He and your Mom were great next door neighbors and we often spoke of them with great fondness. He is now at rest after a well-lived life. May God comfort you and give you peace.
