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
