Lori and I, and all the Limachers here in Calgary, are thinking of our dear Aunt Fran, Mike & Cathy, Steve and Judy, Marie and Terry, Janice and Tom, and Cathy and Doug as they celebrate the memories of Steve's life. It was so nice to have spent some time with Steve and get to know what a remarkable human being he was throughout his life, and especially the time that he and Aunt Fran had together. We'll remember him always.

For my Dad. There were no strangers in your life, you treated every one like family. If love were seeds of flowers your garden would go on and on for ever. I will remember you every day of my life.
