My heart is broken. I lost my best friend. We had some good road trips. He told me stories about my dad that I had never heard. He was a good man and I will miss him. Aunt Martha, I am sorry for your loss. I will always be here if you need me. I am going to need you. Love you. Jim Stephens
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
Martha and family,
Our deepest sympathy and continued prayers for your family in the loss of Mr. Stephens. Prayers for comfort. Romans 8:28

To Martha and family:
My deepest condolences and prayers go out to you. I loved carrying on with Leroy, he was a unique man. I'll miss our playful bantering in the mornings. Rest in Gods loving arms with Trish, Leroy.
Martha and family, I worked for years with Leroy at Holiday Inn when I was in the sales office. He was a joy and a wonderful man! He taught me several gardening tips and helped me numerous times with my houseplants. He always had a story to tell and talked to Everybody! He will be missed and I'm praying for the family for comfort.
