My condolences to Steve’s family. Steve and Shiela were always the strength of the small community and always brought joy wherever they went. I’m thankful I had a chance to visit with Steve a couple years ago, on the front porch. My brother and I grew up as their neighbors and we have so many memories of fun times. Rest in peace Steve and tell my dad hello, as I’m sure you’ve probably already had a couple of laughs with him.
Sending love to Shiela and family.
Sheila, please accept our sincere condolences from Sandi and me on Steve’s passing.
Sheila – I am so very sorry for your loss. God gave us memories so we could have roses in December and your memories will bring you comfort. Blessings to you and your family.
