"STEVE - YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN"
You left me with so many memories that make me just laugh out loud to this day. I loved you calling me Mom and I knew it wasn't just because I was the Team Mama. You were a part of our family and I will miss you "SON" (even though I'm only 3 yrs 1 day older)! I'll remember to drink a shot of Tequilla every May 9th in your honor! Love You!

I know i was young when i met you but you were like family, the one i always could count on to make me smile. I always am thinking about you- and your jokes (my favorite- eat a salad!) Forever and always thinking of you- katie

G-Man, you will never be forgotten. We think about you often and you will never be replaced.
