Dear Stephen,

Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you did. Words cannot express the deep appreciation for the work you have done, you are the best and God bless.

I wanted to write you a note and tell you how grateful my family is for your services.
On behalf of my family we just really want to say a huge Thank you to you for everything that you have done for us. You may see my Uncle’s case as minimal work but it was so much more than that for us. I hope that you realize that you are a huge part in the healing process for many survivors. Your kindness, understanding and patience and many other qualities is what makes it easy for the survivors to be able to open up to you. Some may say that you have a gift at what you do and maybe that’s just who you are as a person, but in any manner it’s what makes this process special.
Again, Thank You, Stephen. I can almost say with certainty that we will never forget you and what you’ve done for us.
Yours truly,
- Allison B. & Family
