Steve this has come a shocker to me! I'm gonna miss making call's wondering what material you need for your next plumbing job. And to see how you're doing. Wow Stevo I'm gonna miss you big time. I was just talking about you today. There was a guy from Victory Outreach I met at a car show today and I brought you up. Then I come home and I get these news....but Steve, I know the man upstairs has got everything under control. I just wish I could've had some final words with you brotha. You always gave me the best advice for any situation. I am truly hurt brotha but i know you're in a better place. I hope your family reads this, anything you guys need please feel free to ask for help from me. I promise I'll be there. The kids know where I work. One day we'll be hooked up again bro. But I'm not in a hurry. Please, if you get a chance Stevo, look out for my family and I from up above. I will pray in your name forever. I'll never forget you.

Love Always, your friend forever,

Gus Espinoza
