I am very sorry to hear of your loss. God has a plan for all of us and it was time for him to go and be with the lord. Though there is a great sadness in parting with someone so dear to your heart, may you find comfort in the thought that your loved one is now in a place of peace.

I, too am related to Stephen and lived on a farm in the Mullins area . My grandfather, Ira McCormick and Uncle Lawrence McCormick, Stephen father were brothers. I spoke to Stephen on the phone when my brother, Gaddy McCormick, Jr passed away. I was unable to attend Gaddy's funeral. My husband Ron was in the hospital in ICU, during that time and passed away Jan. 18, 2002. So I know the pain you are going through.

May god bless and be with you and you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

Mickey

Mrs. Margie,Deborah,Douglas,Bill and family members. I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of Mr.Stephen. In the short time I had to get to know him it was very easy to see what a loving, caring and giving man he was. He and Lynn are together now and I know that must be a comforting thought. Two very special people. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and you all hold a special place in my heart.

With sincere sympathy,
