Liz,
My name is Dan Hull and I worked with Steve on the Brookfield Police Department. I just found out the news yesterday, 11/26/09. I would like to offer condolences from my wife, Mary Margaret and myself. Steve was a good guy to work with and I enjoyed seeing him after he left the department. I haven't seen him in years but want you to know if there is anything we can help you with just call. I live in Brookfield and I'm in the book. I'm in the process of letting some of the other guys know.

Dear Liz,
even though it has been many years since I have seen you and Steve back at Emmanuel Bible I think of you often. I moved out to Arkansas 3 1/2 yrs ago and just the other day I was talking to someone here about you doing my hair and how I missed those Friday evenings at the shop. God bless you and give you peace at this most difficult time.
Love, Sheila Orwat
