Gayla, Sue and David - my deepest sympathy to all of you. I have great memories of Steve and all your family. I know Wayne and Eloise welcomed him into Heaven with open arms! My Daddy (Charlie Lee), Mom and Ev were there to greet him also. Daddy loved every minute spent with your family. What a reunion I bet they had! Love and prayers to all of you.
