To Aunt Mary Lou, Chip, Scott, Sandy, Eric and the entire family -- I was so surprised to hear about John - way too young to leave this earth, my heart goes out to all of you. I will always remember our days as kids with the entire Stevens clan - who could not remember those days -- never a dull moment with that group! Unfortunately I will be out of town this weekend and won't be able to make services but you will all be in my heart - my sympathies to all of you. May he rest in eternal peace.
It is hard to accept the loss of our Dear High School friends. John was south fun! What a good guy! My condolences to his living family and Dear Friend Marcia
