  12. “Saint Stephen will remain, all he’s lost he shall regain,
    Seashore washed by the suds and foam,
    Been here so long, he’s got to calling it home.”

    I love you, brother. Enjoy the show up there, it’s gonna be great.

  13. Rich and I were saddened to learn of Stephens passing. I remember him well when he was at the Country Club. We worked closely with him when planning our daughters wedding reception and he was a joy to work with and we were so pleased with his execution. Our condolences go out to his children and family. May he Rest In Peace.

You took me in along with my now ex husband and treated us kindly, we looked up to you both. I say both because thats how I remember Stephan and Theresa. We’ve all watched your children grow up and have kids of their own. Stephen Helm you will missed by everyone who has crossed your path in some way. May God bless you and your loving family.
