Janice, Karen and Sandy

Your mom always sent me a Christmas card and they were always appreciated very much.

Auntie "Steve" was always fondly respected by myself and brothers Jeff and Wess.

I know she is in a very special place and among those she longed to see once again.

Aunt Steve was my god mother and I will always remember that every year faithfully on my birthday I would receive a card from her. Every single year she would send me a card for my birthday no matter where I moved to and I've been to a lot of different states. I will definitely miss those beautiful cards. She was a wonderful human being and will be missed. Janice, Karen, Sandy I am very sorry for your loss. Just know that she and my dad are now in the hands of the Lord.
