Dear Brenda, Stephanie and Brett,
We are really sorry for your loss. I remember the times when I stayed overnight at your house, when we ordered Chinese food, went to Reading Phillies Games and delivered newspapers in the morning. Stephen was always such a fun guy and will be greatly missed. Take Care.

Brenda, Steph & Wayne and Brett & Lori,
I was shocked when Tim told me the news on Sunday. Steve was such a wonderful guy! He was such a teddy bear with Chelsea! Teaching her how to count with all his loose change and learning her colors with M&M's. May it comfort you to know he is finally at peace.
Our love to you all!!!

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Stephen. My heart and prayers go out to Bob, MaryEllen and the entire Mack family. When I was a young girl, I babysat for Stephen and his darling sisters. I'll never forget him.And I know the family will keep him close in their hearts as well. It sounds like he was a great son/father/man. So he will never be forgotten. Sending my condolences from Seattle. And sending hugs to the family---they will remain in my prayers.
