In Memory of Steve Miner
We were young when
you asked me to dance.
We danced and had a beautiful daughter
and as we were dancing, we stepped
into our new home and dancing
turned into working hard and
growing up
and we created a beautiful son
and another beautiful daughter.
As we grew and worked and raised
a family, our dancing steps
slowed and “life” broke the two dancers
who then no
longer heard the music.
Rest in Peace, Steve
Always,
Laurie
