Messages of condolence

So sorry for your loss, thinking of you guys.

Mr and Mrs Aaron Chandler

Today we will gather for our final farewell to Stephen, our dearly loved Brother and Best Friend (to both of us). How we will miss your words of wisdom and encouragement in difficult times and your chats, and of course, your legendary stories. Your passing may have left a void in our lives but are blessed with happy memories of the wonderful times we have shared together. The last weeks were difficult for your nearest and dearest but we are all comforted in the knowledge that you are now at peace. God Bless you Stephen, our Captain who always sailed our ship, even through the roughest of seas. Anthony & Caroline

God bless you Stephen and may you rest peacefully.🙏 Greg & Noreen Mead.
