Just want to say that Jake and Jenna and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers. Mr. Foraker was a solid baseball coach and I can remember him hitting the baseballs during practice with one arm. Big part of my childhood. God bless him.

In the 5 short years I came to know Steve, I can say that he was a great man, mentor and a friend. Steve's warmth, kindness and generosity were what made him such a special person. I will keep Steve and the family in my thoughts and prayers.

I’ve only spent a couple holidays with Steve and his family, I had no idea who he was when I first met him but the second I did changed the way I see people. He was just a warm hearted and welcoming man. He always knew how to make people smile. No one would’ve been able to see how such a horrible illness can change someone’s life. A year ago no one would’ve even seen this very saddening day come, but sometimes you just get hit by life and realize how amazing and precious your time on this planet is. Steve will be in our hearts. My deepest condolences to Karen and her wonderful family.

We met through Facebook. It was a Devine meeting from God, that I knew and never doubted. We never had the chance to hang out in person but Facebook kept us connected. Again another Devine purpose from God. And so with that being said I know our meeting will come in due time, and that will be for all eternity. My heart breaks for Karen, your children, grandchildren, friends, siblings, it’s so hard to leave them behind. I know for me if I had one minute of doubt I’d never see my loved ones again I couldn’t have gone on the best I know how. Praying comfort that surmounted comfort that only the holy spirt can provide. It’s never goodbye. Just see you later my friend.
