Today we have to say goodbye to one of my brothers! Growing up with this brother was an always well be on my mind just as the other brothers and sisters. I am going to miss him very much but I want people to keep in mind as long as you think of that person they still live. He was a good brother and a great father and a beloved husband to Sally and Growing up with him was a great pleasure and adventure. RIP Steve
This is a really late post…I didn’t know of his illness or his passing. I recently reconnected with Nick and he kindly showed me where Steve, Sallee and Sammy are resting! My heart is simply broken as I mourn all three of them. Sallee and Steve were friends of mine since I was 16! Their friendship and guidance was a huge part of my past; and I currently have pictures of them displayed where I can continue to keep them both alive in my heart! Bless you Nick, I’m so very sorry for losses
