Cynthia and Sara - As a colleague of Sara's and an oncologist, I write to let you and your family know that my heart is with yours at this time of loss. From the notes that others have left, it is apparent that Steve's was a hard and sometimes painful struggle, but that he did his best for himself and for all of you under conditions that he could not control. May his love for you ease the pain of his passing and the memory of his laughter remind you of the many happy times you spent together.

When I think of Steve I cannot help but remember how full of life he was. He was one that would always lend a hand, a ear, a joke or words of wisdom. He will be missed and the family will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sad to hear of Steve's passing. He and I along with Cindy all worked at Testline in Titusville FL. I fondly reme,ber Steve and I travleing to Paris on business and sitting at a cafe on the Champs Elysee overlooking the Eiffel Tower on a warm sunny spring Sunday. We turned to each other and said "It's a tough job but someone got to do it!" I'm sure he will be missed.I have heard from numerous other ex Testline employees send condolances.
