Glenda, Cindy and Stanley, I am so sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose a loved one but to lose your young son and little brother is the hardest of all. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will always remember Stephen as such a cute and adventurisum little boy. He will be greatly missed.
I went to high school with Stephen,,,,enjoyed having classes with him. Sorry for your loss.
My thoughts are taken back to grade school at Eugene Field – Stephen was always a nice guy, as well as the class humorist – at times, a little mischievous – maybe more than a little. Sorry for your loss. The world is a little emptier; we will miss him and be thinking of him at our 40th class reunion next year.
Cindy and family, our hearts are broken for you. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers for peace at this extremely sad time.
Cindy, Glenda and family,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your brother and son. Such a sad time when we lose our family members. Thoughts are with you. ( I am your fathers 1st cousin). Sincerely, Pat Frawley
Even though I have’t seen Stephen for many years, I have so many fun memories of him when he was young. So very sorry for your loss. The family will be in my prayers.
God never meant for our lives to be taken away at all. We are truly saddened that your dear loved one has fallen asleep in death at such a tender age. However, thanks to God we have the hope of being brought back to live – John 11:41-44. Our deepest sympathy to all of you.
