Do u feel the warmth of the candles? / Sherry Hey Dad, Did you see all the candles that were lit for you today? We all love and miss you sooo much. I still find it hard to believe. I know that might sound crazy, but it is true. I think of you daily!! and I keep finding dimes everywhere...not pennies from heaven...but dimes....hey why not try dropping some quarters?? Ha! Dad I miss you. I'm so sorry you got so sick. You never ever complained. Not one day. When your neck was scabbed from the radiation you didn't even say a word about it. You were so strong through all of your treatments. I admire the strength you had to endure all of the pain, but then again "that's MY DAD" for you. As I think back you probably did that for us and the grandkids. You didn't want us to know that you were in pain and afraid. But there was someone you didn't fool and that was Mom. She knew and she is so sad and lonely. I wish there was some way I could make her smile again. This Sat. is your 42nd wedding anniversary, that is going to be a hard day on her. Kurt says he will see if she wants to go school clothes shopping out of town with them. I have to work. Dad, The kids have grown sooo much since you've been gone. They miss you too! Well I meant to start this out with a Thank You to everyone that has stopped by your website. It means alot to me! Even though those candles that were lit made me cry. It was a happy-sad cry. I better go! I Love You Sherry LynnClose
I'm Ok / Sherry
I'm here to let you know that I am OK! I guess I was just having one of those days the last time I wrote. I Love and Miss You Sherry Close
Just me / Sherry
Hey Dad, It's me again!!!! I don't feel so happy today. i don't know why, but every little thing bugs me. I take everything people say so personal. I feel as if I have no real friends. It seems as if I do things for others, but I get nothing in return. It just hurts my feelings, and I feel as if your website is my diary. Lucky you!!! I know you were the same kind of person I am (in some ways) did you ever feel as though you were being used? Or not appreciated? I'm sorry to come on here and complain, but I have no one to talk to. I Love You Dad!! I Miss You Soooo Much, it seems as if nobody understands. Love Sherry Close
I am sorry to learn of your loss. I send my sincere condolences to the family and friends. I know that Mr. Steve Elmore will be missed and mourned by all who love him. You have many wonderful memories to cherish, hold on to them for all has not been forgotten. In the Bible, at Malachi 3: 16, it make reference to Almighty God having a" book of rembrance" with names written in it. Yes, all those who are in God's perfect memory will hear the words recorded at John 5: 28, 29 which says, "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..." Almighty God, Jehovah through his Son Christ Jesus has promise to resurrect or bring back to life our dearly beloved ones. Isn't it comforting to know that we have the prospects of seeing our love ones again under the best condition possible: life in a beautiful paradise earth, where righteous and meek ones will reside forever. (Luke 23: 43, Psalms 37: 29). All of God's promises we can trust, for it is impossible for Him to lie. (Hebrews 6: 18) Yes, hold on to your memory of Mr. Steve Elmore, for he will not be forgotten by you or Almighty God, Jehovah.
Ok Dad, this is a good one. I went to the casino in Parker tonight and won $500. Yes, I did!!! On the way there I said "my dad is with me" and then when I get there and we walk in guess what song is playing???? Yep, Drift Away! One of my friends told me to play the machine so I guess I will give him some credit for that, but you were there. If only in my heart you were there!!!! I Love You!!!

Hey Dad, I was doing a lil' work on the music on your website. I have "I Do Love You" as the listening music and mom asked me to put the song "If tomorrow never comes" on here, so I did. Andrew is here with me tonight and he says he loves and misses you. We all do!!!! I think you know that though. I'll talk with you later Dad. I miss and love you verrry much. Love Me
Me Again / Sherry
Well Dad, we finally received your headstone. Dad I know I keep going on and on but life is just not the same without you. There are so many things that remind me of you. I mean daily something happens and there I go saying or thinking to myself: My dad liked that or my dad said that. There is this guy that I work with that has alot of your habits. I know he gets sick of hearing me always telling him about you. Or that he reminds me of you. I guess I better get myself to bed. I have to get to work tomorrow even though I wish I could call in sick. Andrew is staying a couple days with us while Derek and Tori are out of town playing baseball. I would like to be able to spend the day with him. I Love You and Miss You. Close
quick hello / Sherry (daughter) Hey Dad Just a quick hello. I am on my way to work and you are really on my mind. Mom didn't win millions in Laughlin, but she at least got to get away from here for a couple of days. I miss u Dad. Love Sherry Close
4th of July / Sherry (daughter)
Hey Dad, I should of wrote this last night to wish you a happy 4th, but I worked and was very tired. Remember last year it was me and you. We went out to Kurt's and just the two of us sat in the lawn chairs and watched the fireworks at the fairgrounds. You even ate a little bit that night. I remember fixing you a plate with some rice and potato salad. Oh how I miss you! Life is just not the same. The other day i needed my radiator flushed and to get someone around here to do it was like pulling teeth. I told the guy i worked with "I wish my dad was here, I wouldn't have to worry about it then" Eventually Michael did it, but to get him going took 2 days. You know how he is. Well, Dad I talk to you soon! Love Sherry P.S. Mom is going to Laughlin!!!! Please be with her, your the one with all the luck!!!! Andrew is having a baseball tournament there. One game tonight and the other tomorrow. Wish both of them luck!!!!!! I HAVE TO WORK!!!!!!UGH! I love and miss you !!!!!!! Close

I Love You/ Sharon (Wife)
Dad, I found this note on my dresser when I got home from work tonight. It is from Mom. Happy Fathers Day Steve I Love and Miss you so much. Love you Always Sharon Close
Its me again/ Sherry (daughter) Hey Dude, It's me again! Remember how I use to bug the heck out of you when you were here with us? Well, not a damn thing has changed I will always write on this website and continue to bug you until I see you again!!! Remember I would tell you, Dad it's time to do some Ensure, Dad try to eat a lil' bit of this food Mom made, Dad we need to get that medicine crushed up so I can give it to you, Dad do you have $20 I can borrow? That was the best one!! Then I would here you say, Sherry Lynn you still owe me $40 from the last time. Well, I owe you much more than that, I owe you a lifetime of lessons you taught me. You and Mom showed me how to treat people. The two of you had the biggest hearts in the world. So of course I have one also (smile). You know I take after my Dad, or at least that is what I have been told all my life. So many things are changing and you know me I do not do well with changes! I hardly ever see Michael, but he is up to the same old thing, but I do miss him. I miss you, me and him hanging out watching a movie and hearing you call him "assumption" ha ha. He does think he knows everything. Anyways Dad, Ash graduated and the kids all went to the next grade. Andrew in now in 8th and next year he will be going into high school. Kinda hard to believe huh? Our lil' numanums is all grown up. I guess I will close this now, but I will be back, that you can bet on. I love and miss you very very much!!!!!!Close
Hello Dad, Like the title says it is all too real. You are not coming back home to us. Dad, I miss you! How I wish I could turn back time. I wouldn't have let you leave. I would have asked the Dr's many, many more questions that awful night. I would have had them put you on a breathing machine, and maybe you would still be here. Or maybe we should have had the tracheostomy procedure done on you. I would have kept it clean for you and helped you learn how to live with it, you were way too young to go, but what is the saying "only the good die young" well they took the best when they took Steve Elmore. It seems as if everything has changed since you left. The house is different, I work now and I am never home, I never see Mom since we work different hours. It doesn't even seem like a home anymore. It seems like an empty place where I sleep, eat and get dressed for work. I hate It!!!! I will be out to see you some time tomorrow. I have one bit of good news, I have been approved for Enbrel and I get my first shot tomorrow. So maybe this psoriasis will go away. I hope and pray it does. Well Dad, I love and miss you and our lives are not and will never be the same. Love Sherry
Hey Dad/ Sherry (daughter)
Hey Dad, I just wanted to write you a little note to let you know that I am always thinking of you and we all are missing you soooo much! I Love You Dad and miss you more than you could ever imagine. Sherry Close
I still miss you/ Sherry (Daughter)
Hey Dad, It's me, I went to the cemetery tonight. I haven't been there in awhile. I'm sorry! I have had to try to not think of you too much. That doesn't mean I don't think of you, just that I have tried to keep my mind busy because thoughts of you being gone were and are consuming me. I miss the heck out of you. Remember that day in the car when we found out you had cancer and I started crying and told you and mom that I didn't think I could live without you guys. You said yes you can. Well, I am living and I am surviving, but it is not easy Dad. Is this the way life was planned for you? Why? I know one day we will see each other again, but until then I will always miss you. It will be your birthday in a few days, so I will be back to talk with you, OK? I Love You Dad! Love Sherry Close
