"It has been very challenging and emotional but you guys have brought so much hope and inspiration to us by sharing stories, and memories and different ways that Stephen impacted your life," said Holker. "And it's brought us so much hope and inspiration. He was someone that was just beautiful and he lived his life from love."

"My family and I have always said that we wanted to make sure that our purpose was lived out by bringing joy to people, joy to people's homes from dance or love," continued Holker. "That's not gonna change for us. It's gonna feel a little bit different, but we know that that's our purpose and we'll still do that to this day."

"I appreciate you guys being there for us at this moment. It goes a really far way for us."
