Words cannot fully express the depth of our gratitude to St. Matthew’s and Community of Saints School for the extraordinary compassion, gracious service, and unwavering support shown during Fr. Steve’s illness and passing. Every aspect of the care you provided was imbued with such love and thoughtfulness, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts that we will treasure forever.
We were profoundly touched by the stories you shared, each one a beautiful testament to the life Steve lived and the joy he brought to so many. Your heartfelt sentiments, the genuine tears you shed, and the depth of your love spoke volumes about the profound impact he had on this community. The shared memories and reflections reminded us of how deeply Steve was cherished—not only by his family but by the communities he served and loved so dearly.
Steve was more than a brother to us; he was someone truly special, irreplaceable, and full of grace. To witness how profoundly he touched your lives, the ways in which he inspired you, and the enduring love you carry for him has been a source of both comfort and inspiration for us. It reaffirmed what we already knew: Steve’s presence was a gift to all who knew him.
Your acts of kindness, the support you have given, and the sense of shared grief have been a light for us during this difficult time. You honored Steve’s life with such dignity, respect, and love, and for that, we are eternally grateful. The warmth and compassion you extended to us will never be forgotten.
Thank you for being there for Steve and for us, and for ensuring that his legacy of faith, love, and service will live on in the hearts of everyone he touched. Your love and care mean more to us than words could ever convey.
Ann Koves, Mary Adrian, Sam & Gloria Adrian, and Fr. Martin Warren
