Festive decorations could be seen during various holidays while flowers and shrubs of many variations provided an attractive and comfortable environment year round. Stephen had a deep and caring concern for animals. His furry friends because treasures in his life. Many became permanent residents, his cat family at home, while many others simply dropped by for a sleepover, a warm saucer of milk or a little affection. Stephen loved them all.
