Dear Leslie, Karl, Dale, and Paul.
Although it has been many years since we have seen each other, I was very sad when Karl notified me of the loss of Steve. We are a small family and spread out over many miles, but all of you were still in our thoughts. I am sure he is with the rest of our family who have found peace in the eternal life. Your cousin, Len

Dear Leslie, Karl, Dale, and Paul,
My brother Len called yesterday and told me this very sad news of Steven's passing. Although it has been many, many years, I remember as a young girl coming to Kansas to visit, and Steven and the rest of the family at your Mom's home. All of us kid's playing innocently, swimming, running, so carefree. I hope all of you can find peace knowing that your Mom and Dad, Aunt Margot and Uncle Len all greeted Steven, and will be with him always. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless Steven, and all who loved him. With my deepest sympathy, your cousin, Margot Raso

I was so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I used to work with him on second shift, SMP, for several years. I will miss him and his emails full of so much information about Japanese anime and obscure Asian films that he was positive I would like if I would just watch them once.
Please accept my condolences for your loss.

Dear Leslie,

I just heard about Steven's passing from another former classmate of ours at SMN. I wanted to express my sympathy. I know the two of you were very close and I know you will miss him terribly.

I just wanted to acknowledge your loss and say that I am thinking of you.
