Very sorry about Mr Steelman’s death. He was a very faithful Emmaus member who attended most all of the Gatherings. He will be missed by his family, friends, church family and the Tidewater Emmaus community. My thoughts and prayer are with his family.

Aunt Juanita & Cathy,
My heart breaks for you and for us all with the loss of Uncle Ralph. As I told Dad, with such a big family, we are so very blessed with so much love, but along with that love comes so much loss.
Uncle Ralph meant so very much to us all! He made all us "gal babies" feel so very loved! I have so many wonderful memories of the spring break vacations I spent staying with he and Aunt Nita (and Bandit!).
I'm so very thankful for all the love and guidance he gave Quinten. Quinten will forever carry on the Steelman Family hunting tradition thanks to his Pap and all of his incredible Great Uncles!
I know he is enjoying his reunion in heaven with Papaw, Mamaw, Uncle Bobby, Uncle Jesse, Aunt Patti and Uncle Eddie (and his "other" brother Uncle Gene Davis!). Until we are all together again, you'll forever be in our hearts...
All my love and deepest sympathies,
Blessed to have been one of his "Gal Babies" ~ Sherry
