Steve was a Great Friend! I’ll miss you, buddy!
Steve was one of a kind person. He always made you feel welcomed he will be truly missed. I’ll be praying for his family and friends during this difficult time.
While I didn’t know Steve as well as I knew Nona, I knew that Steve had to be a great guy to keep a smile on Nona’s face the way that he did. My deepest condolences to Nona and to the rest of his family and dear friends. I pray that you all can find comfort in knowing that Steve is no longer in pain. He’s no longer confined to a hospital bed – his body is healed and he’s living the good life! Don’t cry because he’s gone, smile and rejoice because he lived and touched the lives of so many people. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
