When I remember Steve I think of a really nice guy. A great provider and loving husband and grandfather. We have fond memories of a vacation spent with Steve and Joann, boating and fishing. In the last several years we were separated by many miles and we regret not being able to see him, however that did not diminish the love and respect we have for him. Rest in peace Steve you will surely be missed.

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE AND MORE EACH DAY, I DON'T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT YOU , I HOPE YOU ARE AT PEACE

AND I WILL SEE YOU SOON I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART YOU ARE MY ONE AND ONLY LOVE I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH YOU COULD LOVE SOMEONE UNTIL I MET YOU AND I COULD FEEL THE LOVE FROM YOU AND THE FEELINGS I HAD IN MY HEART WITH YOU I HAD NEVER FELT BEFORE UNTIL YOU , BRIANNA AND I MISS YOU AND TALK ABOUT YOU FUNNY LITTLE THINGS MAKE US LAUGH THEN CRY , ILOVE YOU STEVE AND I MISS YOU ALL MY LOVE YOUR WIFE FOREVER JOANN

Hey Papa, I hope you are doing well in heaven. You did a great job raising me, caring for mom, and giving us money for our home, food, water, and giving us love and support. You inspired me to put up with my problems and deal with what's in front of me. Mom and I truly love you. You are the first pea in the pod, along with mom, and then me. I remember when I was about 3 or 4, you always held me in your arms and sang to me, you also always carried me to bed after being fast asleep. I still cherish the good and the bad moments we have had together as a family. You helped me grow more independent and confident of myself, and gave me the glow I still keep today.

Thank you for giving me your support and love, and thank you for giving Mom the best 23 years of her life. Mom and I miss you and hope you are doing well in heaven, and wish you luck on your next journey.

Most of all, thank you for being #1 Papa.

Written with love and respect,

Brianna M. Kaufman
