We met Steve and Debbie at cardiac rehab this spring. 3 times a week for 8 weeks. If memory serves me, I believe Steve was the cook in the house. Although our visits were limited, we will forever remember what a nice man that Steve was to us. So supportive and encouraging to Mike.
Please know that your families are in our thoughts and prayers.
