Helen so sorry for yall loss. I am out of town,but if I could be there I would. Steve was a very good friend and always willing to help me. He'd always call me Joanie when I would go to the bank. I know what you are going through losing your best friend and soul mate. I still miss Tony and Terry. Always know that he will always be in your heart and soul. My prayers continue for you and the girls. Love you!
