Diane: You enjoyed many great years, but never long enough. Steve may be gone but you get to share the love and joy of the family. Our prayers are with you as you and the family travel forward.

Abby, Amanda and Adam:
You were blessed to be in a loving family and share great times with your dad and mom. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He smiled, laughed and talked about you routinely. He taught you things about life and love that may not surface for years to come, then one day you will remember that dad said this or taught you that. He will always be in your heart, hold those memories close.

Dear Diane & Family,
Words can not express the way I really feel inside. I have lost one of my best friends, archery buddy and hunting partner. Steve will be sorely missed and will always have a place in my heart. I always looked at him like a big brother and sometimes a dad. The best time I ever had with him was just sitting one night in our hotel room talking about the Bible and hearing him say how proud he was that I turned my life around. I will always be greatful for everything he has done with me and at York & Adams.May God comfort you in this time of need.

Darlene Miller

Sincerely,
Steve and Darlene
