Dear Steve, David, and Bacus family,

As one of Steve's buddies since kindergarten, I'll always remember Mrs. Adams' voice answering the phone, and how kind she was. I'm sure you all have sweet memories of her. May those precious memories and the tender mercy of our good and gracious God carry you through this difficult time of loss.

Love,
the Scheuller family
