"We enjoyed meeting Steve and Stacie at Tomlinson family reunions. We are attaching a photo taken from the 2011 Tomlinson reunion. What a loss and shock that Steve was taken so sudden and young, while he still had so much to do. We share the concern for helping kids. We pray for comfort for friends and family according to 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. "
