Dear Cindy, Brenda, and your families: I have very fond memories of Uncle Steve, your mom, and spending time at his and grandma's house when we were younger (seems like a lifetime now). Both of you had and always will have a special place in my heart. He was always a generous, kind man! May god bless the both of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.
