I wish I could be there for the memorial so much. Steve was so special to me I was just thinking about him a few days ago than my mom called me and told me of his death. wow I was shocked I had so much fun with him and his sister. i truly wish I would have stayed in contact with them. he will truly be missed. I know my brother sends his wishes too but he is blind now and cant write he was very close to Steve too in our earlier years. He will be missed by my whole family.
