To Our Church Family,

An act of kindness and concern

is the most sincere expression of

God’s love.

Thank you for the many ways you have

showered us with that love during our sudden loss

of Steve.

To the ladies who provided and served the

meal to family and friends after the service, we

thank each of you.

On behalf of our family please accept our love

and appreciation.
