My deepest condolences to The Stevens Family, during this difficult time. Mr. Stevens, will be truly missed. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to meet such a great man, that was truly a believer, of the word, and a dedicated Christian.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know he was surrounded by lots of love and comfort from all of the family and especially his lovely wife Kayron. Praying for you hearts and healing during this time and sending love.
- April Baker, Canton, GA
Kayron, please forgive my lateness in reaching out to you. My heart goes out to you in the loss of your precious husband, Neill. Believe me, I know the pain of your loss. As painful as it is, you and I were both blessed to have had a long happy married life with two wonderful Christian men. I very much miss being in church in person, but I am so thankful for the virtual service provided by IPC on Sunday mornings and evenings. However, I am going to try to attend Wednesday noon service on Wednesday with Debbie Laing. Love in Christ, Billie
