  5. Steve, so very sorry to hear about Jennifer. Even though we had not seen her for quite awhile, we still consider her one of our best old friends. We all had some great times together. SueAnn and I were in Denver or we would certainly have been at the services. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

  6. Steve and Scott, I was so sad to read about Jennifer’s passing. We are never ready to lose the ones we love the most. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. But I also have a smile on my face thinking about all the bleacher time we parents spent watching you and Paul play sports. What a blast! Those are memories I cherish. God Bless.
