This is still just unreal. Thank you for being an amazing man to my sister and to our family. I went upstairs last night and went into Lens´s office and Emma´s bathroom and I can still picture you there doing the dry wall and painting and let´s not forget me asking you how you get off those stilts!! Lol yes, you know I was Trisha´s ditzy sister. This picture
was our first Bills game together, I think that´s when you probably realized how much we love football. May you always watch over us and guide us in the right direction. We love you Steve.
