Steve's father was called to join the Heavenly host in the Sweet by and by on the first day of spring 2012. He was laid to rest on the day the dogwoods bloomed. He will be dearly missed by everyone that knew him, but especially by Steven and I (and the granddogs, grandcat and grandsquirrel). He truly was a smiling face that lit up every room he entered!
