Sorry to hear about Steve. I could always talk to him about music and baseball, and I will always think of him everytime I watch an Errol Flynn movie.

Dear Laurie, Steven and Sean, Our love and prayers are with all of you. We just wish we could be there with you. One thing you will always have are the wonderful memories of all your years together. I still have all of the special cards Steve sent at Christmas with the beautiful poems and wonderful memories of places he took us in MONTANA, especially the day we spent at that lake up in the mountains. [or the day we had so much fun looking for the waterfall and ended up having a picnic in a clearing] filled with grass hoppers. You know he will always be up there watching over you. We love you. Love always, Mom and Dad/Nana and Papa
