Miss you so much!!!!! Happy birthday brother

I miss you

I only knew Steve is a child. He was an old soul...wise beyond his years. He was dear to all who knew him. I have only sweet memories of him. Heaven is blessed to have you

I love you!,

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

I met Steve thru the dentist office where I worked a few years ago. He was preparing for a kidney transplant and not once did his positive attitude waiver. Every time I saw him he was kind, happy, and never complained about the health issues he was facing. He made an impression on me to always look to the positive things in life and help others no matter your own situation. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers go out to his family. Meg Nealis

Steve, during those last days in the hospital we were unable to tell if you understood what we were trying to convey before your final passing, however, we want you to know that we dearly love you and will never forget you and the many wonderful times we had together over the 45 years we spent with you on earth. You know that it isn't necessary to tell you this love because we openly told one anaother over and over again duiring those last years together. We, also, know that your passing will be a major milestone when you join up with your mother in heaven and we are so happy that you will never have to experience pain again as you did off and on so many times during those 45 years on earth. Till we meet again, Dad
