Pam, I´m sorry to hear about Steve´s passing. You may not remember me but I worked at Community First Bank back in the mid to late 70´s and Steve was our messenger. It´s been many many years. He always had a smile on his face and an all around nice person. Again I´m so sorry for your loss.

Daddy,
You are and always will be one of my favorite and most important people in my life. You've been the backbone of our family, my teacher, protector, and confidant my entire life. The one person who has always understood me, the one who no matter what, has always had my back, regardless of the situation, whether you were angry at me, or not. You have always been the one in my corner, the one who has always rooted for me, the one who taught me to endure, and to fight, even when I'm beaten down and tired, and ready to give up, you're always the one to pick me up and encourage me, to inspire me to keep fighting. You've been the hero, Superman for all of us. Since you've been gone, I haven't been able to breathe, I have a big hole in my chest, can't think straight, I'm lost. I'm used to talking to you everyday, several times a day, especially when you hadn't heard from me or I haven't 'checked in' with you in a while, or you've had one of your gut feelings that something's wrong. Even now, I'm still waiting for your call. I'll miss watching Three Stooges with you, or one of your 50's B- Sci Fi movies, you know the ones where you can see the strings hanging from the spaceships? Or going to Fosters Freeze for a Vanilla Pepsi and fries, or a chocolate dipped Ice Cream cone, and fighting with you over the Curly-Q. I gave you my word before and I will again now, that I'll see you again soon.
I love you Daddy
Keli
