  3. Stephanie and family,

    Thinking of you at this difficult times and wishing you the healing powers of many beautiful memories.

    God will never leave you….He knows how it feels to have a broken heart. He knows how much you need comfort and healing….But he won’t hurry you or ask you to feel better until you’re ready.

    love and prayers,

    Irene and family

    Dear Steph

    We have many fond memories of Jim from our trips to California. I remember the first time I met Jim, on our first Magic Mountain Trip. I remember how Jim talked you into going on rides you never would have thought of trying – and then laughing at you the whole time! He had a playful side that was so sinister! We also remember all the dinner parties and fun times with you, Jim, Karen, and Joanna. We’ll cherish those memories.

    You are in our thoughts every day.

    Ed and Jon
