May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and uphold you during this difficult time. Praying for you. We love you.

Oh Tyra! I just got on FB for the first time in quite awhile and was shocked to see this sad news. I am so very sorry for you all. I never got a chance to know Steven, but will always seem strange not to see him with you there on the second row at church. Praise to Jesus that you will be together again in heaven, where there will be no separation or sadness for all of eternity. God will give you grace and comfort for this hard time, and you know your friends are here for you. God bless you and all who loved him.
