Pastor Stevens will be greatly missed! I am a long-time member of Upsala Presbyterian church and knew him and his wife through Upsala and the Presbyterian Church. He was always smiling and cheerful and just one of those people you loved to be around. May God bless his family and be with them in a special way and help them through this difficult time. Sincerely, Pat & Mark Fink
