Steven

What a lovely person. I met Joanna Lynn working together one day nearly 40 years ago and thought gee she's very pretty and funny and everything, and then I met Steven. Haha. Lucky guy. True story and I love you both forever.

Apologies if I sounded like an idiot last time I wrote. I was genuinely concerned about being offensive when discussing God, out of respect for your religion, as my life had recently been saved by God as I understood god to be. But I think I failed to convey that properly.

God is all there is and God brought you into my life and I think about Steven and Joanna Lynn with love and fondness. To stumble upon this obituary today in my attempts to convey the above was unexpected. Still all I think about is the love Joanna Lynn showed to me as a friend and as a roommate and how much it matters even now all this time later. I can only imagine the love she shared with you and your family in all that time since. I am blessed by both your friendship.
