Tammy - My sister, Karen, just shared this sad news with me. I am so very sorry for your loss - and so sad that Steve has been ill for such a long time. The only thing that ever brings me some (tiny) consolation over a death is believing that the person's work here is done and they can rest. You, your children, Jack and Sherry are in my thoughts and prayers.
