Sorry to hear of Steve´s passing. I know he went through a lot, and we had reconnected over the past few years. We went to school together. I was always glad to see him. He had a wonderful sense of being. Authentic to his heritage.
I give thanks to The Creator for the opportunity to know Steve. I have been Blessed. Amen!
