Hello All, I have never voiced myself like this before. I have known Steve in a professional sence for the 15 years that he had worked at the hotel then at the corp. Myself I have loved and lived the industry for 32 years. Reading this beautiful display
of thoughts and words in his obituary it is not my intention to bring bad feelings to ones left behind. When I speak, I speak for many of my co-workers and support staff who also knew Steve in saying he had a very cold, dark heart. Mr. Shanstrom was not one
who believed in morals or laws but took extreme delight in twisting truths at anyones expense.I only pray that he has a chance of getting into heaven. We are all brothers and sisters in CRIST. For my brother Steve a prayer of pitty and foregiveness as he has
ruined many lives. May you rest in peace.
