Mrs. Netherland and Sara,
Pam and I send our deepest sympathy to you during this time of great loss. We were out of state and unable to attend the service for Steven. I always knew him to be a man of outstanding moral values and deeply committed to serving the public throughout his law enforcement career. If there is ever any way I can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call on me.
