Steve, I have no idea how I shall recover from the loss of you. You were my all; kind, gentle, funny, smart, loving and so much more to me. I am going to hold on to all our fun and serious memories as well as all the projects we did together, from building bird houses to making a beautiful garden all around our home to hiking and photographing our world, at least a million photos between us! While this was sudden and we had no expectation of your leaving, everyone in Heaven that you took care...

Steve was so many wonderful things, and he was such a kind and thoughtful man. The last time I saw him, he was bringing me gumbo when I wasn’t feeling great! He was a great cook too. I am still in shock, and All I can think is how unfair the world is. I love you Kathleen. Steve was more special than I can say. I’m so very sorry.
