Hi Grandpa Steve its been a long 13 years but I just wanted to tell you I'm going to Dental School just like I told you I would!!! I love you and always think of you.

June 11, 2016

Dear Arlene; I graduated with Steve from South High in 1966 and we were good friends all throughout high school. He was a great kid when I knew him and judging from your posting of family pictures, he was also a great husband, father and grandfather. Our 50th high school reunion is this year. I will see that he and other classmates who have passed are properly and lovingly remembered. Brian Hawkesworth, Dennis MA.

I was so sad. I think I new then that you were dying but I couldn't bring myself to believe it. I still can't believe you are never going to walk through that door. I can remember telling you, this one died, that one died I was so overwhelmed with death and you kept telling me thats life, but Steve you why. Gloria told me not to asked why. Steve I miss you. I'm sorry but I do. I feel so alone when I think of you.
