That's a touching post.

Thank you Survival!
Steve Karafa is my brother and he died in a car accident on 8/13/2006.

I never met Steve but frequently think of that awful accident.
He's definitely not forgotten.
And of course John's also gone now.

I remember this clearly, and how awful it was. Such a hard way for your family to lose your loved one. I hope you are comforted by your loving memories.

Here's to Steve.....
Hey Lisa, got to watch Lonnie Kauk dance up the Bachar/ Yerian Friday evening. Was magical.
Hope you are well.

Thanks for the thread, Lisa.
Many many of us remember Steve fondly and replay in our minds that horrific accident out there in eastern Nevada deep in the night. And the memorial in the Oakland hills later on, Bachar still alive and in attendance with Yerian and Anastasia. Little kids playing on the grass. I remember your solemn and deeply wounded Dad often and met him again at the Bachar memorial up at Mary's Lake not very much later on. Just too too awful.
Hugs, Peter Haan
