Steve was so many wonderful things, and he was such a kind and thoughtful man. The last time I saw him, he was bringing me gumbo when I wasn’t feeling great! He was a great cook too. I am still in shock, and All I can think is how unfair the world is. I love you Kathleen. Steve was more special than I can say. I’m so very sorry.
