My deepest condolences to the Paxton family. Steve has been a part of my life for a very long time. He was my neighbor and I will miss seeing him when I make return trips home. He was always kind to me and always treated me like one his own children. May he rest in peace and I pray God's Blessings for Helen, David and his family.
