Such a kind, tender hearted, humble soul at this level is a rare commodity in this eath. Be at peace Brother Steve, Lord Jesus will awaken you to a glorious eternity in the Ressurection.

Hi Ron, Ruth, and Lee,

I am sorry to hear about Steve's death. Bob and I would come to the memorial service, but I am subbing for the math teacher on maturity leave. Our prayers are with you. When Jim died, God gave me John 14:27 "let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

With care and prayers,

Jean (Lehman) and Bob Wolf
