"God saw you were getting tired, a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best." Love and miss you. Your loving family.

Oh Steve how I will miss you dearly. You were always the fun brother that made me laugh a lot. You had such a fun sense of humor and it was very contagious to everyone around you. I am happy and sad about your passing. I am sad because you are gone, but happy that you are no longer suffering and in pain. I remember when you and Jean first introduced Mike and I to the Clearwater Central Catholic Bingo Hall for the first time. We could go and pick out our cards out of a bin instead of the dobbers they use now. It was so much fun. I remember all of our Christmas exchanges at mom and dad's almost every year. Bringing the family together with good food and watching football games, especially Notre Dame. All the Christmas music that dad and mom use to play at the house. Mike and I remember all the picnics we used to have with all the kids when they were younger. They all played baseball and frisbee at the park and then grilling hamburgers and hot dogs and all the food was delicious. Going to all the Ray games and watching them play baseball. I remember when we went to the horse races and us betting on the horse we thought would win. Dad, mom, you, Jean, and Mike and I all went and had so much fun. So many memories I remember through the years with you and the family. I remember going to Sunny's Barbecue and Mike nicknaming you cowboy for the first time. I Remember all the breakfasts we all went to at Bob Evans and Dennys with all the kids, grandma and grandpa Wills, and mom and dad. I will always cherish all these moments with you and many more. All of our 4 kids still look back on all the memories, being with all their cousins and grandparents. They all remember all of the fun times they had through the years. You will always carry a big piece in my heart forever Steve. Say hi to Robin, Mark, mom, dad, and all of our grandparents and loved ones up in Heaven for me. Until we meet again, I will always love you to the moon and back! Your loving sister Mary and brother-in-law Mike
