Cheryl and Family,
May God comfort and guide you as you adjust to the loss of Steve. I was a classmate of his many years ago at Holly Springs Elementary School. I was saddened when another classmate gave me the news of Steve's death. Immediately, I began to share with my grandchildren sweet memories of the days we shared at school so long ago. Steve was a loyal friend and will not be forgotten.

Sincerely,
Mary Lyda Lytle
