They love getting together with their cousin Ryan. I know you see them and get a kick out of them all running wild. Love you!

I can't believe it has been 1 year since Dad left us. I know he is watching over all of us, but wish he could be here. He never got to spend time with his 2 grandson's Caron and Ryan....Luckily Brooke and I have memories we can share with our boys and we have each other!!!

We've been without power, buried in snow and ice so I am posting this late - please bring us Spring time soon!!!
We've missed you so much over the past year. While I am ever so grateful to Diane for bringing us closer, it has definately made things much harder because I am always wanting to call and talk to you about something in my life.
Not a day goes by we don't think about you, look at your pictures, or talk about the funny stories you've shared.....like the Christmas lights last year on our house being "red" not "blue".
Brittanie had the 5th surgery on her shoulder on New Year's Eve and I know you were with her all the way because it was finally successful! She will be finishing her 1st year at EKU this spring.
Kam misses you more and more as each day passes. We worked on a scrapbook of you on Saturday and he definately has your sense of humor. He will be driving this summer and already knows when he gets out on his own that he will have a Great Dane like you!
There is so much I want to tell you and so often I wish I could call and talk to you.
You are our Guardian Angel. Please watch over us and keep us safe.
Sending you lots of love and hugs, Your Sister

Steve, It wasn't the same last fall at the rain forest. We miss you and that horse you call a dog. We did get to see Diane though & with her being there we felt a part of you there. You are at our lake cabin & we are going to put part of you (ashes) in a stepping stone or something like that & place it by the flag pole. Even though you were never physically there you will always be there in spirit. Love ya & miss ya Gary & Jeanne

How can it really be you were taken from us 4 months ago on Saturday?? We miss you so much and talk about you all the time. I want to pick up the phone and call you more now than ever as Brittanie's high school graduation nears.
Susie told Kam the story about you fixing chocolate chip cookies for breakfast as a teenager and so guess what.....Kam fixed them on Friday before school.
We went to the cemetary to see dad and he wanted to make sure that no one stepped on dad's grave because you were there visiting with him!!
I love you BEARY much and hope you are having lots of fun playing with your dogs, catching up with dad, and of course, drinking a cold one.
Please watch over us and keep us safe.
Your sis, Sherrie

Dad, this has been such a heartbreaking couple of months. This was a daughter's worse nightmare. I remember that dreadful phone call telling me you had past away. For some reason I thought it was a lie and that you were going to fight to come back to us. I guess I'm selfish. But I want you here with me, but God said it was time for you to go with him. They say time helps. People lie, because in all reality it doesn't. I miss your phone calls, your jokes, and just those words I love you. I still hear your voice in my head. I never told anyone this but I left my voicemails from you so I could still hear your voice everyday. You've helped so many people and had a heart of gold. I show Carson your picture so he remembers his "poppy". He will always remember you. We will always remember everything about you, daily, tomorrow and forever. We cry, miss and talk about you daily. I'm just curious why god would do this to me when we just got close again.
I love you. Daddy's little girl, Brooke

I received a poem from a friend and it is so much how my brother lived his life............
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything but make the best of everything they have...........Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain!!
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We miss Steve very much and not a day goes by we do not think about him - we are trying to find peace knowing he is our guardian angel looking over all of us now. He is spending plenty of time relaxing, drinking his beverage of choice and playing with his Great Danes!! We love and miss you very much!! Sherrie, John, Britt, Kam & Baylie

As a kid growing up I always wanted to be like steven, we never got to spend to much time together cause we lived so far apart, I remember 1 time as kids i went n spent a wk w/steven we slept in a tent in the backyard an the first nite we snuck out of the house in the middle of the nite, had my 1st beer w/steven came home and his dad busted us. When he moved back to marion working for Uncle Joe & Ronnie I would stop by to c-him for lunch & a beer at 504 for those of you who remember that one.Steven was a funny dude.If i had more room I'd share the story about the nite we painted the corvair...He will truly be missed and to all his friends I share your lose as well keep his memories alive and drink one for him cause he would like that.

Our hearts and thoughts are with your Family Steve. Your friendship to our family will be a treasured memory forever more and will bring smiles to our faces. We know that our precious girl was there to meet you and it brings us joy to know that Logan feels that his mommy and you can play games together. So in that we find comfort that you are in a beautiful place and in the greatest of company. Our hearts will be full of sadness and joy together for it is not easy to say you are not around. To Diane, We cannot say it will be alright, it will not be the same, but know that you are loved by us and that we are here for you
Gary, Dawn, Logan, Charlee, and Hunter. The East Family
