My thoughts and prayers are with all the family and friends of Stephen. We also lost Jamie, my nephew, in the attack. I know Stephen will be dearly missed, and now treasured by all who had the honor of knowing and loving him. My hope is that you can find some peace and comfort in the coming days. He left this world a Hero. God Bless you! Marcia Gillespie
