Stephens journey here on earth is
over he received a call, an offer he
could not refuse, for an appointment
each of us will face. An appointment
with many bonus, the love of God.
Meeting his Grandpa Birchell and Aunt
Ethel, a reunion with his Granny Pauline,
Pa Pa Dale, Uncle Bert, Aunt Wilma, Cousin
Bill, and so many more family and friends.
Stephen's life seem to short to many, but
those who were touched by him understand
that quality of life far exceeds the quantity of
time in which one lives. His smile and laughter
was beautiful and would melt your heart.
Though he was a quiet, private gentle man, his
voice was the LOVE ''YOU'' always knew he had for you.
ALL SERVICES WILL BE PRIVATE.
