Praise the Lord for calling another brother home, who loved Jesus all his life and is now walking on those golden streets with his wife and the Lord Himself……we loved Steve and I enjoyed him at the Bible studies in Front Royal. He’ll be truly missed but if we all stay close to Jesus, we’ll be with him also.
Love to all of you, Paul & Linda Fumea
May God bless and comfort each of you, knowing that Steve is with His Savior and hearing those precious words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Fair well His good and faithful servant.
