I am so sad for the entire Holmes family. Steve was a great man through and through and I am very glad I was able to know him and we will all miss him very, very much. I personally am very grateful for all the times he helped me and Becky around our first house when I had no idea what I was doing.
We are here for the entire family, if you need anything please let us know. Our deepest sympathies. We love you all.
