Steve, Steve and I became friends again when I joined the Scleroderma Study working with Vickie Goswick and her group. He had a beautiful personality and worked so hard at staying healthy. Steve and I had the same damage from the disease (lung damage), we were the only two in the study that had the same damage. I was on oxygen and had decided to get a lung transplant but Steve had decided to try other things for his treatment. It was very sad to see him have to leave but I know he is breathing good on the otherside and that God needed another angel. Steve's smile will forever be in my heart and his warm personality will not be forgotten. your friend, norma
