Sharon and Gary Steber

From your Son

I told myself I wouldn’t cry when you are gone. I will only put a smile on and say, “So long.” Words can’t describe

what a true friend and father you have been to me. Now I have to let you go because God has another soul He wants

to set free. I promise you I will make you happy and be the

man you wanted me to be.

See ya soon!!!

Love always,

Cameron
