Uncle Steve, what a bright spot of sunshine you were from the very beginning of joining our family. You possessed the smile and charm that made you a favorite at every family gathering, and always let you get away with stealing a taste of pie, or chicken, or kiss from aunt Midge while everyone was trying getting swatted for being in the way. You were remarkable in many ways and I’ll always remember you as the tall handsome Texan that stole away my aunt Midge’s heart.
So sorry Cindy
I’ll keep you in my prayers
So very sorry to hear! Just saw this! Prayers for your he family.
