STEVEN WAS MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE OF MY LIFE. WE WERE BOTH THERE WHENEVER WE NEEDED EACH OTHER, EVEN AFTER OUR DIVORCE. WE WERE BEST FRIENDS AND NO ONE KNEW STEVE AS DEEP AS I DID. OUR LOVE WAS REAL. HIS NUMBER ONE GOAL WAS TO BE A WONDERFUL DAD, WHICH HE WAS. READING EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS...YES STEVE HAD A WONDERFUL HEART AND LOVED TO DO FOR PEOPLE AND DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING IN RETURN. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING STEVE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DO. ME AND THE GIRLS WILL DEEPLY MISS HIM. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF MY LIFE THAT WILL BE MISSING BUT I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN STEVE. WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN...UNTIL THEN. I LOVE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL.

Steve Leach was the greatest son-in-law that a father-in-law could have ever asked for. If I ever needed anything he was always there and willing to do anything, never wanting nothing in return. He had one of the most loving hearts a person could ask for. Like the time I went to Va. Beach to attend my daughters funeral, I had left my medications there. Steve drove all the way from Va. Beach to North Carolina and brought them to me instead of mailing them. I will dearly miss you Steve, there will never be another son-in-law like you were.

With Love,
Your Father-in-law Euppie Ellis A.K.A. Bob.
