To Helen and the entire Belak family, My name probably is unknown to you, but I wanted to express my condolences. I worked in the Auto Theft Unit for 28 years, and I got to know Steve pretty well. He was a good man who placed his family first. I lost my wife a little over a year ago, and I know what your going through. If what my wife always said "anyone who passes on during lent, will go directly to heaven" is true. I know steve is on his way!

I am deeply sorry for your loss!
