Papa Steve, your cheekiness, laughter and smile is something we certainly will miss, you always brightened the day for many. At Live Community your BiNGO calling would always lead to sorest tummy muscles from laughing so much.
You would always lend a hand to everything and anything to help others and your church - letting your light truly shine for Christ. You will be greatly missed. To Margaret and family our thoughts and prayers are with you. Papa Steve I know you are being truly celebrated and welcomed into the arms of Jesus.
