"Dear Rev. Steve, Dr. Jean, Norma, and Haley: We join the many friends who search, today, for some words to express our deep sadness for your family. We think of a hymn we used to sing called "Farther Along". One of the refrains includes, "Fartther along we'll know all about it. Farther along we'll understand why. Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine. We will understand it all by and by." In the meantime, we realize that unfortunate things happen to good people. We send our sincere condolences with thoughts of the many times you have consoled others. May God''s Blessings and your proud memories of a wonderful son and darling grandson bring you a measure of comfort as you continue to honor their lives. Best wishes."

"My Dearest Haley, no words can be expressed the grief that you are going through right now. Hold on to those who are strong around you and they will help guide you and give you the strength needed for the day Aneah will be your power. I found myself looking at the address book your family gave me when I moved and it brought old memories that were happy and fun; you too have a lot of happy memories when things seem overbearing think of them to help you through. God has a plan for his new angels and you, look at the stars and you will see two of the brightest looking at you. I love you. My thoughts, prayers and hugs are with you."

We remember when Daniel would go fishing while you played golf and all the stories about his love of hunting. I never will forget your joy and happiness then Hunter was born! Words are so difficult at this time but in spite of your loss, please remember how proud you were of the two of them and the love from within your heart for your "guys". They were lucky to have you! Peace be with you."

"Steve, It seems like such a short time ago that I sought your wisdom concerning a young man who's life was seemingly cut short in a motorcycle accident. You told me that it wasn't Gods choice to take people at an early age yet He would be there waiting for them nonetheless. You spoke of the life they would have in God's eternal kingdom and that those of us who mourn need to take comfort in that fact. How I would love to turn to you today seeking more of your wisdom, yet I know that you now seek peace and understanding with the passing of Daniel and Hunter. Take your teachings to heart and know that they are free from pain and suffering and one day, your family will rejoice in the togetherness afforded us by God. How blessed these 2 young men were to have you and Jean love them and forever holding their memories close to your heart. Be well again my friend!"
