  1. Dear Jeff and Myra- My life has forever been changed by helping take care of Stephen and meeting your family. Stephen passed away so peacefully and quickly, he did not suffer. I truly believe that God honored your prayers and poured out His love to you in the way Stephen passed. I believe that God took him so quickly so that your hearts could take comfort and not strife. I have been doing ICU nursing for 10 years and have never experienced or heard of a passing so peaceful on a ventilator. It was as if God put Stephen in His hand and took him to heaven in an instant - similar to some stories in the Old Testament of those who won favor in the eyes of God and never had to experience a physical death. You and your family provided such a wonderful life for Stephen - all of his pictures show a child whose heart overflows with love because of the love he was given. It's a joy for me to look at all of his pictures and sob knowing that Stephen has now been made complete and has been given a perfect heavenly body. I can see him in heaven with a smile larger than ever seen on Earth. Myra, if I am half of the Mother and Christian woman you are, God will have truly blessed me and my family. Jeff, the image of you holding Stephen after he passed will forever be imprinted in my mind. May God Bless you for cherishing Stephen and truly believing that "all things are possible with God through Jesus Christ." Stephen never missed out on the fun God provides us on Earth because you were chosen to be Stephen's Dad. Peace, peace, peace and comfort be with you both.
    Warmly, Danielle
