Sara and Nan,
My thoughts go out to you and the family at this difficult time. It was such a shock to hear while I was at work from the paper. Mr. L was a family guy through and through all the years that I had known him-always helping esp. with Sara and the plays.

Coach Steve & Tammy Waddell

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

It’s hard to put into words the type of person Steve was. He is the only man I know that loved kids and family the way he did. He was truly a teddy bear at heart. The times Curtice spent with Dzia Dzia and his family were priceless. How rare it is today to have the family values that Steve and Nan together shared with so many. The Ledzianowski family has been blessed to have had such a great father figure. Steve touched so many children’s lives and Curtice was one of the lucky ones to have had this pleasure. Our deepest sympathies. Mark, Kelly & Curtice Pedersen

Mr. L. was a wonderful man who loved life. There are not enough words to express what a great man he was and how blessed we all are to have been touched by him. My children are going to miss those treatments and beakbops that they received every morning. We love you Dzia Dzia!
