I still can remember Steph as a little girl. I smile every time I think of her words,"Don't do dat."

Dave, Sue and Chris, my heart aches for you.

When we were kids, Steph always got me to loosen up and smile. I'll never forget the time we mooed for sprinkles all the way home playing mini-golf--we must have driven Aunt Sue nuts!

Dave and I are so incredibly sorry for your loss. Praying for you every day.
