To Steve's family,
I am sorry for your loss and am also sorry that I was not able to be at the class reunion this past year to visit with him. His kind and gentle spirit will hopefully be a source of strength to you in the coming days.

My heart is broken with the loss of my dear cousin Steve who was more like a brother to me than a cousin. I love him and hope he is now at peace without the pain and suffering in trying to recover. Scott and Steve's family: I am so sorry and my prayers are with you.
