Bob and Gail,

They don't make them like Steve anymore. His infectious laughter, wit, charm, caring heart and cheerful nature has always brought joy to everyone's lives. We know you miss him terribly, and we miss him just as much. We will continue to honor his memory and have you in all our prayers. Please remember me if you need anything. You are not alone. We are with you.


The kind and gentle person he was, I'm sure the one who made him, realized how special he was, to be left in the midst of this cruel world. He belongs to a place that is kind, a place that is away from all the hassles of this world. May his spirit experience celestial peace and heavenly bliss.


It's difficult to move on when you know they're gone ... gone beyond our reach, leaving this mortal world behind. But they have left us memories that no one can take away, memories that will bring forth a smile and conquer the painful tears. It is time to remember them smiling, till we see them next in heavenly bliss.
