Alot of memories, one in particular that comes to mind is one night, Steve was cooking a pig, just one of many that you came to, but it started raining, we were under a canopy but it wasn't helping, but you looked at me and said, I'm, I gotta GO! I said me too, you ran to your truck, i ran to the house, we left Steve cooking. We laughed before we bailed on Steve, but ate good the next day. Alot of memories with you and Pam. You will be missed. RIP Sincerely, Steve and Julie Catoe
