Rest in peace my bother. Steve was a faithful and kind soul; never heard him say a unkind word to anyone. He will be missed.
Steve, my heart feels sad today because I have lost a friend.
It’s just hard to say goodbye until we meet again.
All your friends will miss you at Parkview on Sunday morn.
You were always ready to hear God’s Word in calmness or even storm.
I know all the problems of this world for you have passed away.
To be absent from your body is to be with the LORD today.
I can only imagine what it must be like.
No more dark days for you because there its always bright.
Raymond
