IN MEMORIAM | Emerson Sauder

STEVE SAUDER

My deepest, heartfelt condolences go to my friend Steve Sauder [left] on the loss of his son Emerson, who passed away from cancer on Apr. 20th. He was only 21.

Steve, I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for you and your family's tremendous loss. Your statement on facebook was so touching and I thank you for sharing your feelings.

Our friendship began decades ago, when you and your noisy "rowing machine" found their way into my home and into my heart. Sometimes that feels like it was forever ago and other times, like this, it feels like only yesterday.

There has been and always will be a special place in my heart for you and right now that place feels hurt, because I know you hurt and there's nothing I can do to take that pain away.

May your higher power comfort and guide you through the days ahead and please know, I love you.

Kenneth Emerson Leavoy
