Madalyn, words can never describe the shock at hearing about Steve. My deepest condolences go out to you and your family at this time of sorrow. I will miss Steve's easy smile. He was the most caring and compassionate man I knew. I will never forget the proud look of accomplishment he would get after finally learning a dance step.

He had a knack for making people feel comfortable. And could always bring a smile to my face. He will be missed terribly. If you need anything or just a shoulder let me know.

I am so sorry!!!!!!!!!

Words do a gross injustice and are completely inadequate to describe the shock and sorrow that this tragic event brought. One can only surmise that Steve must have been in horrorable pain. My hope is that he is in a better place that gave him the peace he wanted, but my prayers are with you, Madalyn and your sons. Your grief must be so overwhelming that each second has to seem like an eternity. Please know that time does heal and cling to each other for support. Grief is a positive emotion that helps us to cleanse and helps us to understand. Don't deny your need to grieve but then focus on the present and the future and all that is wonderful in your life, your sons, your daughter-in-law and your friends. We are all there for you. Don't hesitate to use us.

All my love,

Scott
