Dear Julie & Tayler, Just wanted to let you know I counted it a privilege to long ago be a friend of Steve's and than even more precious to be include in conversation with him over the past year. What I found was the familiar soul I knew back in Osage and than was so impressed with the man he came to be. I know he will be missed beyond measure only to be comforted by the reality of seeing him face to face once again when we cross over ourselves. I promise to keep you both and all the Birdsall family in my prayers as the days follow. with much love, christy niess truxaw
