Condolences to the Stevens family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, "heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds." May God bring you comfort and peace.

I feel very lucky to have had an opportunity to know Deloris, it was very late in her life, but I learned so much of the family history that I hadn't known before. Thanks Deloris.
