Donna & family, my thoughts & prayers are with you. I have thought of you often, especially on home football Saturdays. It was a joy seeing your smiling faces & enjoying the conversations when you came into the parking lot for YEARS on those home games. (10th & N St.). May you find Peace and Comfort in the love that surrounds you.

Steve and Donna have been wonderful neighbors and friends for over 30 years. Steve was always welcoming, inviting, humorous, generous…the very best kind of friend. He watched our two boys grow up and he was always curious and supportive of their endeavors, from supporting the lemonade stands to providing helpful encouragement as they headed off to college and adulthood. Steve will be much missed and forever cherished in our hearts.

– Elizabeth & Daniel (Dylan & Wyatt) Nelson
