Amy,
I was very sorry to learn of your loss. I remember Steve as a funny, sweet and fun loving person. He had a heart as big the earth. He and you were so sweet to me and caring. It just hurts my heart to hear that he is gone. I know we have not been in touch for a long while but you two have always been so precious to me. Love & Prayers, Vikki Allanson Milam

If i would of known about being able to add entries, i would of sooner. But i just found out about it. Im goin to let everyone know just how sweet and good hearted Steve Ashworth was.
