(918)▪︎[ Thank You, Steve … 2023 ]

[ Dear Teri ]
[ I Am So Sorry For Your Loss, Today ]
[ I Wish That I Could Be, Some Kind Of Help ]
[ For You, In Any Way ]

[ I Am Glad That I Had The Conversations With Steve, That I Did ]
[ I Remember Going Into His Office With Him ]
[ When He Was Explaining Everything In There ]
[ It Made Me Feel Like A Kid ]

[ Everything In There, Had A Reason To Be In There ]
[ You Could See That They Were Handled With Care ]

[ Steve’s Wealth Of Knowledge, Cannot Be Explained By Just Using Words ]
[ The Ways That He Explained Each Item ]
[ He Would Talk So Fast I Could Not Keep Up With Every Adjective, Noun Or Adverb ]

[ But He Was Patient With Me, If I Asked Him The Same Question Again ]
[ He Would Ask Me Where He Lost Me ]
[ Then That Would Be Where He Would Begin ]

[ Being The Giant Man, That He Was ]
[ I Never Heard Him Say Something ]
[ Just Because ]

[ His Words Always Had A Reason To Be Heard ]
[ Sometimes He Would Be Quiet ]
[ & Just Observe ]

[ His Mind ]
[ Was Always The Busy Kind ]
[ It Could Take Him Awhile,To Unwind

[ Steve Was A Bit Of A Perfectionist ]
[ Everything That He Said Was Straight Forward ]
[ He Never Beat Around The Bush, Or Ended His Conversations With A Twist

[ He Always Gave People His Best ]
[ Knowing That When The Problem Had Been Resolved ]
[ That Is When He Could Rest ]

[ When Steve Would Come Into A Room, He Always Had An Air Of Authority To Him ]
[ He Never Did It For Show ]
[ Chances Of Him Asking Or Demanding To Get Respect, Were Razor Slim ]

[ Steve Was Probably Type (A) Personality Decades Ago ]
[ He Then Slid Into The Role Of The ALPHA Dog Position ]
[ In A Room Full Of Other Alpha Dogs Wondering Who THE TOP Alpha Dog Was? ]
[ When Steve Comes In, Everyone Will Know ]

[ Steve Will Be Missed ]
[ By Too Many To List ]
[ Would Steve Have Wanted Me To Write Any Of This? ]

[ Probably Not ]
[ He Never Tried To Seek Out The Bright Dot ]

(1)▪︎[ Thank You … Date Unknown ]

[ Dani, You Actually Said That You Love My Stories! ]
[ I Always Thought That You Thought ]
[ That They Were Were Dumb & Boring ]

[ You See This Is How I Write My Feelings & Thoughts ]
[ That Are Spinning Around In My Mind ]
[ I Have Trouble Verbalizing When Put On The Spot ]
[ & Then I’ll Forget What I’m Supposed To Rewind ]

[ You Hate When I Get All Touchey- Feely With You ]
[ You Do Your Thing ]
[ & I’ll Always Do What I Do ]

[ I Write About The Thoughts That Wander In ]
[ If I Waited For The Right Time To Say Them ]
[ I Don’t Think That I Could Remember The Exact Words Again ]

[ I Have To Say This Out Loud ]
[ You Getting & Taking This Job ]
[ Makes Me So Proud ]

[ You Have Completely Stepped Out Of Your Comfort Zone ]
[ & Then You Took A Step Towards The Unknown ]

[ You Went Through That Door ]
[ For Your Interview ]
[ & Because Of Your Winning Personality & Hilarious Sense Of
     Humor ]
[ You Had Them Rolling On The Floor ]

[ It Never Takes You Long ]
[ To Show Others ]
[ That You ARE Both Beautiful & Strong ]
[ & My Observation Of This Is NOT Wrong! ]

[ When You Worked Here I NEVER Asked You To Explain
     Yourself ]
[ I Have NEVER Done That With Anyone Else ]

[ Never ]
[ Have I Ever ]

[ Trusted Another DSP AS Fast ]
[ Every Others, Except One, Are Just A Blur In The Past ]
[ I Worried Early On ]
[ That You Would Never Wanted To Last ]

[ You Went Toe-To-Toe When You Needed To ]
[ You Never Let Him Walk On You ]

[ You ( ALWAYS ) Held Your Ground ]
[ You Always Got Him To Settle Down ]
[ Because He Never, Ever Made You Look Like The Clown ]

[ Never! ]
[ Ever! ]
[ I Will Be Impressed Forever ]

[ You Were A Dream Come True ]
[ For Us Two ]

[ I Will Miss Our Nighttime ]
[ But I Will Never Stop Spending My Dime ]

[ Because I Get What I Always Want Out Of Every Gift I Give ]
[ It Is That Beautiful Smile ]
[ That Tells Me That You Are So Appreciative ]

[ You Are So Genuine & Real ]
[ & I Really Do Know How You Really Feel ]

[ I Know That You Care ]
[ But That Is One Emotion & Thought That You Rarely Share ]
[ But I Know That The Love Is There ]

[ After All This Time I Knew It Was Hard ]
[ For You To Actually Say That You Have A Deep Regard ]

[ You Will Always Be Our Daughter ]
[ & We Will Continue To ]
[ Love You ]
[ Care About You ]
[ Worry About You ]
[ Watch Over You ]
[ Take Care Of You ]
[ Buy Stuff For You ]
[ Make Room In Our Life For You ]
[ Share Our Life With You ]
[ Listen To You ]
[ Advise You ]
[ Say No To You ]
     [ Only If It Will Be Better For You ]
[ Guide You ]
[ Trust You ]
[ Be Proud Of You ]
[ Be Happy For You ]
[ Always Be Accessible To You ]
[ But We Will NEVER Mislead You ]
[ Do & Always Tell You What Is The Best For You ]
[ Not Hug You ]
[ Not Hurt You ]
[ We Will Hurt With You ]
[ Hold Our Breath Until We Turn Blue ]
[ Like We Are Your Adopted Mother & Father! ]

[ How Do I Close Our Front Door On Your Last Shift ]
[ Everytime You Came Here You Gave Me An Emotional
     Lift ]

[ You Stepped In Whenever Zoey Called Out ]
[ You Protected Me, Without My Need To Shout ]

[ I Know Why You Came Back ]
[ You Wanted To Protect Me If BD Chose To Attack ]

[ Me One Night ]
[ You Chose To Protect Me If He Stepped Up To Fight ]

[ I Know ]
[ That You Could Have Reported Him Many Many Months
     Ago ]

[ Maybe You Did Not Want Me To Go Through The Headache
     Of The Investigation That Would Follow ]
[ @ An Early Time Here ]
[ You Found Out That His Words Sounded Hollow ]

[ I Know That You Were Put Through Hell ]
[ & Things That I Heard ]
[ Did Not Sit With Me Very Well ]
[ It Was Hard For You To Even Repeat Any Of His Words ]
[ Sometimes, I Could Tell ]

[ But You Stood Tall ]
[ & Remained Strong ]
[ You Showed Him That He Was Hitting A Wall ]
[ When He Was Doing Something Wrong ]

[ I Am Going To Miss You Beyond What Words Can Say ]
[ Everytime You Showed Up ]
[ You Made My Day ]

[ Ash, You Are Really Going To Be Missed! ]
