I am so sorry to have learned of Steve’s passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Eloise and your family. Also to Peggy (I miss you Peggy) and Johnny. As I was thinking of Steve it brought to mind some fond memories of us growing up as a family for the short time our parents were together. One fond memory I have and want to share with you is that Steve ALWAYS had to take things apart so see how it worked! There was always parts of this or parts of that spread out all over. He would work at it FOREVER till he had it apart then back together…minus a few parts that didn’t make it back on the piece he was working on. He will always be one of my little brothers.
My the Lord comfort you during this time and be comforted in knowing he well now.

Prayers for your family. Steven was a really good man with a kind heart. I think he got that from his mom! He will be missed, but rest assured he is in heaven watching over your family. Please keep the memories of “pawpaw” alive because he loved all his grandkids, eloise, his kids, and the pig based on the pictures and stories he shared.
