Joan and I are sorry to hear about Steve’s passing. I was talking to Tim Duke tonight and He told me and that was the first we heard of your loss. I knew Steve since we were teenagers. He was a fine gentleman and I thought highly of him. Joan and I will miss him and we know that many others will too. Of course You , your children and grandchildren will have the greater grief. The Lord said His grace was sufficient for us and I know this is true. Our prayers are with you and our hearts are burdened for the great loss you and the family have suffered. May the Lord bless you and give you peace.
Chris and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I only heard great things about him from my Mom, Lillie Sue, and cousin, Monkey. May the Good Lord give you peace at this sad time.
