Dear Jensen family, I had planned to attend funeral. However because my left hand and arm continues to go numb, I decided it not safe to drive there today. i talked with Robert and told him. My condolences go to all the family. My prayers are with you at this time and especially to Joe and Shelley. I was hoping to see and visit with them at this time. Love, Kathryn MacKay Jones My children also send their condolences.

Steve was my first best friend. We were is miss Tomsick's class together at Rosecrest our first year and many other classes after that. Steve was always kind and generous with everything he had. I remember stopping at Steve's house on the way home from school and playing video games on his oddyssey and eating his halloween candy which Steve seemed to be able to make last for months. Steve was always a great example of how people should act toward one another. Steve's early passing has certainly caused me to consider how I live my life, where my priorities are, and wonder if I am living up the example Steve set.
