Sending sincere condolences to the family of Steven Craig Leichner. Losing a loved one is difficult. May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of the joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Soothing words of comfort are found in God's Word at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4: "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials...." May God's loving kindness comfort you and help you through this most difficult time.

To Steve's family my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I met Steve when we both worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was shy and awkward and Steve was outgoing and kind. Your dad had a way about him that always made us smile. I can only imagine the twinkle in his eye when you were born. He took such good care of your grandfather. I will treasure his memory.
