Dear John, Terri, and family,
It broke our hearts to hear about the passing of your Stephen. He was such a sweet young man with such a beautiful smile. We still remember when he and Janette first came here from Brazil. You all will be in our thoughts and continued prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
All our love and prayers,
Monty and Terry James
