Come my uncle in the dream to have your companion
And tell me not to worry

To say how sorry I am
Kind and smiling
That way I will remember you ....

God rest you ....

Stevie. OMG!!! I have known you and mom Deb many years ago when she worked at Walps. We were waitresses. You and mom Deb were like my second parents. I was always on the counter. Then, we lost touch for many years. Well about 8 months ago I got in touch with you. I know mom was having health issues. I can’t believe it. I love you and your family. You were always everybody’s dad. God bless. Love Mary Poop Erceg
