I miss you already Uncle Steve! It so didn't matter that we didn't get to see each other much, you were always such a stable force in my life! I could always count on you for a voice of reason, unconditional love, and of course a big bear hug! You taught me a lot and I thank you for your sacrificial service to me and my siblings, my mom, and to our life situation. You left an amazing footprint on my heart, and I love you!
