Mrs. Colvert, I first want to send my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Mr. Stephen. I was his lab instructor at Eastern College, and was heartbroken when I heard of his passing.

I worked with Steve at Public Retirement, he was always friendly with me and made me a puzzle for my son. He will be deeply missed as he has been since his departure from here.
God Bless the family.

Dear Sandra, Ryan, Tracie and Children:
I am so very sorry to learn of Steve's passing. He was a very nice man and a good friend to me. He helped me several years ago when I fell and broke my arm and shoulder. He helped me up from the sidewalk and braced me against a flower planter until I could get a ride to the Hospital. He will always have a special place in my heart. His kindness will be remembered and greatly missed. I am praying for all of you and know that those prayers will be with you all for the weeks to come. May our "Father God" watch over this family and give you the strength needed these next few days and weeks. God Bless You All.
With much sympathy,
Donna Seavers
