I've known Steve for a long time.Ican't think of words to express it.He was a close friend to me & my husband.He was the closes friend I had in Nebraska I've known him since I was 15,we met at Dominion I was the "new girl" without many friends he was like a brother to me.There has been times when we lost touch.But when we would see each other it would be like yesterday.He met my husband (Robert) while working at Control Data.He was so surprised when he found out that I was Robert's wife.The last time we saw him was at the Omaha day dance ,he gave me such a Bear hug.It was so good to see him.And that's how I will remember him,Smiling at me.You know in Socond Corinthians 1:3,4.these words were recorded to help us through times like this it says "blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort,who comforts us in all our tribulation,that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves arebeing comforted by God."We send his wife and his family our Love. Robert & victoria(aka Vicki Ford)Green.
