Steve and Pat have been very good friends for 35 years. I cherish every minute during that time.They were the most gracious couple anyone could be friends with. They would do anything they could for anyone in need. They are now together where Steve wanted to be. Bless you Chris you took such good care of them.

Words cannot begin to describe what an amazing man he is. I've had the privilege of knowing Meena and Poppa for over 30 years. I admired the love they had for each other, and they have been near to my heart, no matter the time or distance apart. My sincerest condolences to Chris and his family. I know this is a very difficult time for you. I just hope it's a little easier, knowing he is back in the arms of the love of his life.

We knew Steve & Patricia through our property owners association. Sorry to hear of their passing. Wherever they saw us they always made it a point to stop and chat a bit. Good people!

Steve has been more than our neighbor for 23 years. He was family to us and one of the kindest, most beautiful souls we have ever known. Our only consolation is knowing that he is, once again, hand in hand with the love of his life.....Pat. We will miss them both every day.
