Renee, I was so sad to hear about your husband Steve, I met Steve only a couple of time.He is so handsome, and he has such a beautiful smile. Though I did not know Steve well, I can see his love for life...in you.The happiness I see in your kind words, your smile, and your positive flow must be fueled by... your husbands love for you. Part of his legacy is the happiness he instilled in you.Others who may have not known him will know what kind of person he was, due to the kind of person you are. The love you two have had for one another speaks volumes about his constitution in life. Most people never find this, to be in-love is a gift. A gift he gave to you.Renee, I do know you and I know this about you. You and your family are very much in my daily prayers.I love you,,,Heather.

I've only met and talked with Steve a few times when giving Renee a ride to the ball games, or hanging out at their pond. Steve was a great guy, and funny as can be. He and Renee had a great marriage which alot of us, including myself are jealous of. Not only were Steve and Renee married to each other, they were the best of friends. A virtue many would like to have. He will be sorely missed by an awful lot of people. He touched many lives.
