Dearest Vicki,
You are in our hearts and prayers, and our most fervent prayers for you and your family will be that the many joy-filled times you spent together with Steve will in time help ease the terrible grief you are feeling now.
I also know that for you to feel his loss so deeply, he must have been loved even more greatly.
Today, and in the days ahead, I will remember seeing you together, happily planning your move to Georgia, and once you were settled hearing that happiness in your voices. I will also imagine Steve sitting on a spectacular lake in heaven awaiting an even more spectacular catch - - - though in this lifetime his "catch of the day" every day was you, Vicki.

John 14:1-4
14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

2 Corinthians 4:17-18
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Stacy,
Your Dad's Love and Legacy will be with you forever; may you find peace in knowing your Dad is in peace with Jesus today and forever.
