Dear Girgis Family-
I know this is extremely late, but I didn't know this existed. I am sorry for the loss of Steve! Its coming up on five years and that is unbelievable. He changed my life in so many ways! I loved Steve so much and he'll always have a place in my heart. We all know his memory will always live in us, and we hope to see him again at the pearly gates. He was such a blessing in everyone that knew him! God Bless you

Mr. & Mrs. Girgis & Family,

My sincerest condolences for Steve. I met him at school and got to know him pretty well in the 12 weeks we had class together. I had lunch with him one week before, and unfortunatly, did not hear about it until a few days past the funeral. My sincerest thoughts and prayers to all of you and your family. He was a great guy. May God rest his soul.
