Joyce,
I am so sorry to learn of Steve's passing, your loss and the battle you all fought. I only learned of this a short time back and didn't know how to get in touch with you. Actually, I learned of this from my daughter Rachael (a friend of your daughter Stephine) from Becky Walker (a friend of hers). I know God will keep you and your family close at hand and help you get through these difficult times. I look back at the old days with laughter and fond memories with you and Steve around Mechanicsiville. Rachael and I send our love and prayers. God bless you and your family. I hope our paths cross again.
Love, Oak

I am so sorry for your loss. I feel blessed and honored to have had the opportunity to work with Steve at SunTrust. He was the most sweetest and sincere friend and co-worker anyone could only dream of having. He always knew what to say to warm everyones heart with joy and laughter. He will be greatly missed and his memory will always live in our hearts. My prayers are with you and your family and should you need anything please let us know as we all consider ourselves his extended family here at SunTrust.
Much Love

Dear Joyce and Family:
I was shocked to learn of Steve's passing. He was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I first got to know Steve through real estate. I was always glad when I knew Steve was appraising one of my properties. My heart goes out to you and your family. May the Lord Bless You and Keep You, Always.

Joyce--I will always remember growing up around the corner from you and steve when yall lived off of sunnyhill. Steve was always a nice person and always had something nice or funny to say. He always seemed like such a happy person-who never really let things in life get him down. He will be sorely missed by the whole family. God must have needed another angel on his team up there!! You, Stephanie and Jennifer are in our prayers!!!
We love you!!! Suzie, Bob, Beverly, and Jennifer Morris.

Uncle Steve loved to drive and listen to music really loud. Jenny would be singing and we were really happy, I didn't want to get out of the car. I will miss those times but I know he is behind the wheel of a beauty and rocking out!
I love you always

I am saddened by the loss of Steve; and also saddened at the short time I had to get to know him. When I first started with SunTrust he welcomed me into the STM family with jokes, questions, stories and cakes/Twinkies. We discovered we had similar Mechanicsville ties and shared funny memories. I even think he appraised my house once!
We extend our deepest sympathies in the loss of your husband/father/grandfather/friend. Regardless of whether you knew Steve forever or just a short while, you knew he was a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed by all.

Joyce, even though you do not know me I was very forturnate to have met your husband through SunTrust. After meeting Steve for just a few minutes I felt that I knew him for years. Everytime I saw him he always had a big smile on his face. I know the pain that you are going through along with your family. I lost my husband earlier this year. If there is anything that I can ever do for you please let me know.
Fondly,
Aspasia

Joyce, Stephanie and Jennifer..Ron and I want you to know that our hearts are broken at the news of Steve's death. Steve was an extraordinary man whose smile would brighten a room on a rainy day.

Steve,
Having known you for only 2 years, I can attest that your abiding spirit and humor helped to disarm even the most hardened heart and brought joy to people regardless of their personal circumstances.
Your appraisal stories shared everyday at lunch, along with getting me signed "autographs" from my favorite actors after winning the Compass Award brought hearty laughs from not only me, but also others in the department. And who could forget all the times you offered everyone JJ's candy, talked about watching blue whales on the Discovery Channel, sky-dived in that Teletuby-like purple jump suit, or jammed-out to your favorite bands on your ipod shuffle.
What is more important than anything though is that your spirit has left an indelible imprint on the lives of everyone who came into your path. My promise is that I will continue telling those stories (I think this will make a great movie-as you often teased me for saying), so that your legacy and spirit will continue blessing others.

I want you to know that Steve was more than a brother-in-law to me and treated me, Amanda and Sara like his own. I will cherish all of the memories we all shared and I know he would want us to be strong at this time. Although I know God picks the prettiest flowers and he has picked him, I know we will see him again. Always remember that we will be there for you and will have sweet dreams of Steve.
I love you all,
