In memory of you being laid to final rest today, because I cannot attend your memorial today and to honor your memory, I am wearing one of the Dale Jr. tank tops Karen & I bought while we were all together down in Vegas enjoying the NASCAR race. You were a very close part of my life for over 13 years and it's so hard to believe that I will never have the chance to see and talk to you again or even hear one of your Steveisms "Just throwin' it out there". I hope that that your family find peace and love all around them today and every day thereafter. You will always be missed, love you. S

So many good memories growing up and I know we would have made great memories as adults. I pray that God comforts your family in this time of sorrow and that we all remember what a great guy you were. Love you cuz.... Nita
