Just a note to let you know how much Steve meant to me. I was blessed to have him as a cousin and a friend. He was just a joy to be around-even when we were growing up-He always had something funny to say-and to laugh about. I wish more people in the world were like this-but sadly that is not true. I'm sure God needs someone to cheer him up right about now--Steve can do it! The shock of this still numbs me-my heart aches.. Kathy, Steve loved you more than life. I thank you for being the wonderful, sweet wife that made my cousin's life here on earth a great one! All of us have been lucky to have him in our lives.--he will forever be in my heart and soul.
