Greg said . . .

Susan and Leon,

Our prayers are covering you and your family. May the peace of our Lord fill your hearts.

Stephen was truly the light of the world, salt of the earth, born from above, a brand new creation!!! He was living proof that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

Our daughter Chelsea was so saddened with the news but it was the memories of Stephen’s life that changed tears to joy in this hard time. Chelsea shared all the memories of their time together in High School when Stephen (President of Christian Club) would call her early every morning to encourage her to meet at the school flagpole to pray. As a father, I am truly blessed that a young man like Stephen reached out to my daughter and so many others, who truly made a positive impact on peoples lives. Chelsea today is blossoming the seeds that Stephen sowed, leading youth groups, starting up collage Christian Clubs and spreading the love of Christ everywhere she goes.

I keep thinking of Eph:1, “God has blessed us with all Spiritual blessings in heavenly places.” I think of Stephen when I ponder that. Stephen was and still is a blessing in all our lives!!!

In all things He says give thanks, so I thank God for Stephen and for Leon and Susan for rising up such a mighty man of God!!!

Blessings,
The "Smith's"
Chelsea, Alex, Colleen and Greg
