Thoughts and prayers are with you now Trudy. We ask God to send you his blessings for you and your family during this tough time. RIP Steve, you've earned your wings. Deepest condolences, Nora and family.
Sorrow for the life Steve had to endure for so long. Glad he was able to know his descendants for as long as he did. Doubly glad he had Trudy to love and care for him and bring a ray of sunshine into his daily life.He set an example of how to live with an extreme handicap. Trudy set an example of accepting responsibility to her husband and family that was exemplary. May all heartaches be eased soon. Love
Little did we know when we met Steve and Trudy more than 25 years ago that their son and our daughter would get married and we would become a family. Your life was taken too soon Steve and we will always remember how you welcomed our daughter into your home. Terry and Cindy Broumpton

So wish that we could have been there with you this weekend to celebrate Steve's life. Trudy, you have devoted so much to Steve over the years and truly are a role model for all (just like dad). We love you lots, and know that we are always a phone call away. Love Jen and Mary
