We are very sad for everyone in the Streit family. They invited me in to their home in the 3rd grade. They have treated me like family ever since. Steve was even my boss for a year. I will never forget the good times. I'm grateful my kids could know him. The best gift Steve gave me was my best friend Sommer. Love you guys! Judy, Todd, Tyler, and family-you are in our prayers. Sommer-wish I could take the pain away.
