Lori, This is late in coming. I talked to Jerry a couple of days ago discussing purchasing a stereo. I brought up Steve and he told me tht he had passed away. I was shocked in hearing about it and want to say how sorry I am. You both were such good friends and I loved hearing him talk about your love story in the beginning. He loved you so much and I enjoyed spending time with the both of you. You were and will always be good friends. Enjoyed the times we went out to eat, the great talks and stories about the military and all that went with that…Please take care of yourself dear friend. Love Fawn Cornwell (formerly Johnson).
