Steve- I really don't know what to say. I just found out, but I had to put something. You two were family to me, more than just on the ship. I love you both. My Brother.

Steve, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the girls in this time of grief. May the memories of Tabby's better years bring you comfort. I cannot imagine what you are going through but I pray that you find solace and peace in knowing she is watching over all of you. The Mahan family is one that can never be forgotten and I feel priviledged to have served with you and her. Her sense of humor was contagious and her dedication was unprecedent. With love,

Our prayers go out to you and your family. I will cherish the memories of days on the Mahan with Tabatha. She tried to portray a tough exterior, but was really a softy on the inside, especially when it came to her girls. I can still see her now, walking with that cup of coffee. May she rest in peace.
