We are all so very blessed to have had the time that we did with Steve.  When someone so precious is so suddenly taken away from us it is impossible not to dwell on all that you have lost.  But at the same time we can be thankful for all of the truly amazing moments that we were able to share him.  If we look at every memory with Steve, with Gimpa, as the gift that it is, the brilliant abundance makes it hard to feel loss.  Thank you, Steve, for the wealth of love and laughter you have given us.  Your legacy lives on in the many lives you touched.
