Dearest Mary Jane and Family, it's hard to believe that it has been 5 years since the passing of Steve. Sieglinde and I know that Steve is always in your hearts on a continual basis. I still reflect on mine and Steve's General Motors, Chevy Parma, working memories. I still am so very thankful to have had the opportunity to have transferred to the Cleveland, Ohio area after they permanently closed our Atlanta GM Plant. It was such a pleasure to have met Steve through our GM and Union Brotherhood, and develop the true friendship over the years. I still look at the photo of Steve and I, which Sieglinde took at your daughters wedding, and we are so very thankful to have had the chance to professionally photograph the wedding.
We appreciate this opportunity to post and reflect on these beloved memories of Steve. We know that the family is truly looking forward to the Memorial this weekend, honoring Steve's beloved life here on earth. So sorry we will not be able to drive up for such a reflective event on Steve's life, but we pray that the event will bring back so many memories of Steve as each conveys their personal memories of Steve and share with all attendees. May GOD Bless each of you as Sieglinde and I keep you in our Prayers. Sincerely, Ben and Sieglinde Baldwin, Sevierville, Tn.

Dad, it's so easy to see how Mom feel in love with you... Such a handsome man! You were a great provider and hard working. How I loved our strawberry patch and all the bunnies that loved to nest there. Sorry I didn't like weeding the garden. Your pride and joy each summer. My heart is heavy today. I'll miss you so much.

Our Dearest Mary Jane, along with all of Steve's Family,
Please know that Sieglinde and I will have each in our prayers.
It was such a pleasure to have had the opportunity to speak with you, Mary Jane and Steve over the phone just a couple of weeks ago. We were saddened upon receiving your phone call about the loss of Steve.
Please know that Steve was always a pleasure to have worked with at Chevy, Parma. He always shared that big smile every time I was walking his way. That meant so much. Mac and Tommy also sends their regards during this time. I could tell Steve liked " Us Ole GM Southern Boys". I told Steve I still look at the photo which Sieglinde took of he and I at Laura and DJ's wedding. Steve told me he still had his picture also.
Please know, though Sieglinde and I will not be able to attend the visitation and funeral, our prayers will be with you each. Remember, GOD will sustain. We will keep in touch. Steve and the Mascella Family will always be remembered in Our Hearts.
Thanks again for informing Sieglinde and I.
GOD Bless,
Ben and Sieglinde Baldwin,
Sevierville, Tn.
