Dear Donna,
You have been on my mind the last couple of days so tonight I decided to see if I could find a number or address to contact you. I was saddened and shocked to find your husband's obituary. I did not know he passed. Albeit late, please accept my heartfelt and sincere sympathy. I would love to get together for lunch and catch up...I miss your Mom. Please contact me via [email protected].

What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose. For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us. May the good memories of Steve live in our hearts forever and ever.
Just trust in the Lord. He will always be there for you.
God bless you, Steve RIP

As I lay in bed at 3:00am I was always comforted by the sound of Steve's truck slowly making its way out of the lane to his next delivery, for I knew everything was OK at the farm. My wife Pat and I will profoundly miss his presence. Deepest sympathy Mark and Pat Ihm.
