Oh Stevie...words cannot express the sorrow that has filled our hearts because of our loss of you! I’ll miss so much about you...I’ll miss our inside joke that you would say every single time I saw you over the past 20yrs. I’ll miss your surprise visits. I’ll miss that big beautiful smile. I’ll miss those signature dimples and your bubbly personality. I’ll miss how you always made us laugh. I’ll miss your crazy ice fishing stories with TJ and all the shenanigans. I’ll even miss you calling TJ to let him know you’re “killin’ the whitefish” at the pier and he’d have to get there immediately (he’d come home with nothing😂). Most of all I’ll miss YOU! You’re loved so much Stevie! May you rest in peace. ❤️
