You always checked on me all the time to make sure things were okay. You will truly be missed. Thank you for all your support. You were so happy that my son got in touch with me, and today is his birthday. Rest in Peace Steve. You will always be in my thoughts.

There are few people people we encounter in life that leave a lasting impression; and there are fewer words that can describe this friendship. Stephen Patts was my friend and my guide. He was always willing to listen, talk, or just joke around. Rest in peace my friend, you will be greatly missed.
