The 2011 Colorado trek had elements of
sadness mixed with joy.
Our friend Steve died before we arrived,
but we gave thanks with his family and friends
as we witnessed to the Resurrection
and celebrated his life.
Steve lived in Greeley:
some among his friends called him
the Bishop of Greeley.
There in his domain,
we found the
Greeley Centennial Village Museum
and many gardens
and many purple flowers.
These are the first.
Others will follow in weeks to come.

Thanks for your memorial. Steve was one of a kind, a man who never allowed an injustice to go unchallenged. His passion for justice and witness for a more inclusive church will long be remembered.
