Cindy and Family -
It's hard to imagine life without Steve. Already the loss is felt. We will always be here for you and just know you had a WONDERFUL husband and friend. He loved you and the kids with all his heart. It's just won't be the same sitting on the front porch.

Love, Steve, Cathy and Nichole
