Message from Steve:

I am sad to announce that on Friday, May 30, my fiancee, Kathleen, passed away.

Kathleen was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma in December. She fought hard for 6 months, but her condition only worsened, and she entered hospice care. Kathleen was able to spend the last three days of her life at home with her children, grandchildren, me, her brother and sisters, and her cat. We were able to keep her as comfortable as possible during her final days, while family and friends came to her home she loved so dearly, to visit her. In the end, she passed very, very peacefully.

She is the love of my life and I miss her dearly.

The following is the announcement we put in the Daily Herald where you can sign an on-line guest book and make donations to the American Cancer Society.

I also want to let you know that I'll be suspending all campaign activities and will return to the campaign in a few weeks. Please feel free to contact my campaign manager, Patrick Kelly at patrick.kelly@votesteve.org.
