Dearest Shirley and Family,
So saddened to read Steve's Tribute in the paper late yesterday.Now all the stores are closed and I cannot bring to you your 12 bottles of "strength" as you and Joan brought to me. I am crushed that I leave tomorrow for an 11 day trip to Prescott, AZ to help my sister move into their new home and cannot be here to support you in these next difficult days. I assume you have many family members, and Joan, around you. I return the 15th and hope to be able to participate in the Celebration
you are planning for our Angel, Steve. All our Angels, Paul, Gary and Steve are now together. You MUST take comfort in the fact that Steve's suffering is over. Your grief will seem endless, but I promise you, Shirley, your strength will amaze you.
My love to you along with my heartfelt sympathy.
