Steve keeps coming back into our memory. He was our best man back in '73 at our wedding in Humboldt. He was the first person you wanted to talk to about anything personal or deep- i remember him working as a logger, opening a pizza business, a philosophy grad student- and later a psych grad student - a guy who would open his heart and mind to most anything worthy of it. All our best to you old friend...Larry / Karen N. Ashland Or.

In all that I can remember we light candles when love ones get sick or pass away it suppose to help get prayers and show love ones the way to Jesus. Lighting the way. May God comfort you and the family at this time. I'm always here for you Mary.
