It has been two weeks since my best friend, soulmate, husband and confidant left his body and all of his energy entered into mine. It was exactly how he said he always wanted it to be…. in his sleep, no pain, only peace. The feelings I have are sublime joy, gratitude and thankfulness that I had this wonderful person in my life for 39 years. He was my biggest fan and I was his.
We had one date, on a Saturday night, and he never left. We were still on our first date when he passed. Our love was unconditional. His strength and energy will get me through this. To every ending is a beginning and I feel reborn with a new canvas to paint for this new transition in my life.
I wouldn’t be me without having his support and devotion throughout those 39 years. We were two pieces of a puzzle that immediately fit together that Saturday night so long ago. Everyday was a celebration to us. He was so happy when he passed and I take great comfort in that.
Now I have my own personal angel watching over me… I feel blessed.
Namaste

Dee Dee-
I only knew Steve briefly. We met just a year or two before you left for Texas. I was playing with Pete Anderson at the time. I always enjoyed talking with Steve and have always enjoyed his FaceBook posts since you moved. I also remember meeting you once right before you two left for Texas. Although I knew him for such a short time I feel a real sense of loss at his passing. Blessings on you and everyone else whose life was touched by Steve.
Love what you wrote. So glad I got to hang and play with him. Just pure fun
Dee Dee,
Sreve truly did touch everyone he met. Even this so-so guitar player. He was a very generous, funny man. I wish I could have hung out with you two more. My deepest condolences for your loss.
