We were saddened to hear of Stephen's passing. He always had a friendly smile and wave when he saw us. Although I was new to the area, he was so kind to recommend places to visit. He made me feel welcome.
Our sincere sympathy to his wife, Linda and all of his family.
May God Bless All of You and give you Strength through this difficult time.
May all the memories you have made together make you smile and comfort you always.
Sincerely,
Your Neighbors, Deron, Amy & Gerry
