Jeffry Nielsen wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Mary Beth, Elwood and Barbara - I am sorry to learn of Stevie's passing. I knew your Mom to be a good and kind woman. (but she could be tough too)! I was practically a baby when I first worked for your Dad. Your Mom always treated me like I was an adopted son. She made me feel special. Ray and Jack used to get jealous because Stevie mothered me. I feel blessed to have been an adopted member of your family for a short while. I will keep your Mom and Dad in my prayers.”
