My sincere condolences to the family of Stephen Crane for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is "near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34;18) While grief at the loss of Stephen is great, joy at welcoming him back in the resurrection will be greater. (Mark 5;42) With deepest sympathy,

It is not often, that someone comes into your life that is special and Stephen was. I will always remember the twinkle in his eyes and that wonderful smile of his. And knowing how special and how much he loved his family. You could tell that was his number one priority in life. I wish there were words I could say to take away your pain, but there are none. Just know how much we all loved him and will be there for you.

If there is anything that we can do for your family today or in the days ahead, please do not hesitate to call.

Tami, Bruce, Julie, Philip, and Grandparents, My thoughts and prayers are with you in the untimely loss of Stephen. May God's grace provide you comfort and peace. As a family member who saw him mostly at family gatherings, I watched him grow up from being the sweetest little boy to become a special young man. He always had a smile, was quiet and gentle, kind and considerate. He is gone way too soon, but he leaves us with many precious memories. My love to you all, Aunt Becky

I never formally met you in person, but all the social media we have these days, I have seen so many pictures of you. Tami and I have talked about you a few times, so I kind of feel like I know you. I do know you are in a better place than anyone of us are right now. I pray to you and our Lord to keep your arms around Tami and ya'lls kids. Please bring peace to this whole that had appeared in their life. Time will heal all wounds, but right now, life may seem unbearable for many because of your absence. My thoughts and prays are with you and your family. Tami, you are a very special person. I can't even fathom what you and your precious angels are going through right now. May he rest in peace with our Heavenly Father. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
