Karen and family,
I am STILL thinking if you and rooting for you! I always loved Steve and to care for him in the short time I knew him was my absolute pleasure. Steve held a close place to my heart and he always referred to me as some sort of a “work horse, brut, nurse ratchet, or toughie”. I sincerely send all my love and condolences to you and yours.
With love,
Noelle Hathaway
