Dearest Martin family,

I feel so privileged to have been able to take care of Steve and to have met all of you. There are people that come into your lives that leave an impression forever and Steve was one of those. I am truly sorry for your loss but the Lord has another angel in heaven now with a smile that can light up the whole place. I apologize for not making the visitation...did not want to pass on my cold to anyone. Please know that you all hold a special place in my heart and I am praying for everyone.
