Not sure what to say?

My condolences to your family.

Kathy, We were so very sorry to hear about Steve. We had every intention of coming to the funeral this morning, however with the weather, I was afraid to risk a fall. I hope you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please let Anita know how much we appreciated her reaching out. When you’re up to it, please call. I’ve tried calling repeatedly, but have been unable to reach you. Love, Lori, Lindsay and Steve.

Dear Kathy,
So sorry to hear about Steve. He was always such a fun guy and we had many laughs at the faculty parties. My thought and prayers are with you.

Steve helped me survive the Parkway HighSchool days, with adventures never to be forgotten. “We were in it together” and his sense of humor in those days are fondly remembered. Glad to learn how much value Steve brought to the world in his later days, really heartening to learn! All the best—

Kathy, my thoughts & prayers go out to you & family. God Bless!

Kathy, my thoughts & prayers are with you and your family,
I am sorry to hear Steve passed away.
Hugs,

Kathy- I´m so sorry to hear of Steve´s passing. He was like the big brother I never had, growing up. Playfully teasing me all the time, but I enjoyed it, since I had no brothers. I´m glad I got to see him for the last time, at Jack and Jane´s.

Kathy, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I worked with Steve at Mallinckrodt. We played golf and softball together. He was always a fun guy to be around. He will be missed by many.

Can you see him in the back behind Kathy? He loved her so much! 6
