We are so sorry for your great loss. Our love and prayers reach out to you.
Steve and I were really close until he had to move to AZ. Sadly, we lost touch and went our separate ways. I will always remember the great times we had. The sleepovers and playing in the woods of lower Davis Addition. Antogizing a few of our teachers at the intermidiate school (putting it nicely). Just having fun being kids.
RIP Steve. I am lucky to have known you for the little time I did.
My thoughts and prayers go out to my family and friends of Steve’s at this time. You were a good man.
We were sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. Our prayers go to his family and friends in their loss.
