A bad weekend for us :(
Steve had worked at the same company as my wife for the last 10 yrs. They had become best friends and included him in her circle of friends that would hang out after work. They all might go fishing or to a race. They are a great bunch of people. He was also the brother of my aunt. Steve would come to our family gatherings at Christmas. He didn't make it every year, but I would still see him every couple years. At our gathering in 2001, Steve showed up and he had brought along a friend. Of course, everyone at the party thought it was his girlfriend. She was a very cute girl and even brought in her own cooler of beer! As the evening went on, I ended up talking to her. She was very intelligent and had a great personality. After talking for some time, I told her; " I'd better let you go, I don't want to make Steve mad at me." And she answered, " Why would Steve get mad at you"? I said I just assumed she was Steves date, since they came together. When I said that, she asked Steve; " Mind if I flirt with this guy"? Steve said, "I saw that coming"! By the end of the night we had exchanged numbers and things just took off from there. We got married two years later at our Halloween party! And I have Steve to thank for it. We are expecting our baby boy within the next three weeks! We are both so excited. When we started thinking about names, "Stephen" always came up. When we found out about the cancer and his chances, there was no doubt about what name should become some part of our sons name. We will name him, Blake Stephen G......... If it wasn't for Steve, I never would have met such a wonderful person. Brenda and I will always remember and think of Steve when we see our son and speak his name.

Description We decorate mostly for our party each year. We don't get many TOT's. Brenda and I were married at our party in 2003. We have a great time and I enjoy making new props to use each year.

On Saturday, a very close friend of ours passed away. His name was Steve and he was only 56 yrs old. He died of complications from kidney and lung cancer. We think the kidney cancer was the main cause. And he was diagnosed with cancer only 7 weeks ago. At least he is no longer suffering.
