Happy 29th birthday in Heaven

Love Mom

Hello All,
I wanted to let everyone know that I've decided that it will be too hard for me to organize the Miana Stewart Scholarship 5K this year without my other half to help me. I really appreciate all of the offers to help me put it together, but I've given it a lot of thought and the decision didn't come easily.
I will, however, still be giving out the scholarship!
Thanks for the support.
Mary Stewart

Today would have been Miana's 26th birthday. Her and Randy are together to celebrate it.

The Stewart Family wanted to share that there will be a covered dish meal at the Gerrardstown Presbyterian Church Hall following the funeral service for Randy Stewart, on Friday, November 4th.

Dishes can be dropped off as early as noon on Friday. All are welcome.

Thank you!

Funeral arrangements for Randy Stewart. May he Rest In Peace eternally with his angel Miana Stewart 💜
