: I have known Steve Daly for several years
: now. Never met him face to face except
: through photographs and testimonies from
: other Marines who had met him on a personal
: basis.
:
: He was a personable man, and like most of
: the rest of us who are Marines, shared a
: common bond of fellowship due to that life
: changing experience.
:
: He had his countries best interest at heart,
: loved his family, his country, and of course
: the Marine Corps.
:
: That's how I met him...as a U. S. Marine
: fellowshipping over the Internet. We could
: exchange thoughts, experiences, knowledge,
: and best of all, care for one another in a
: way that not many know anything about.
:
: We were all pulling for Steve, or Ghost, as
: he liked to call himself on the Internet. He
: fought the good fight. God Bless him and
: strength to his wife Kit and family in this
: time of sorrow.

: Steve, I sometimes spoke to you of God, and
: His Divine purpose for all things. I felt
: confident that through the power of prayer
: things would get better for you, and so they
: have.
:
: You look sharp in your angelic attire. Not
: exactly Marine Corps regulation, but
: suitable for the occasion. Trust you never
: had any doubt about what happens on the
: other side, because it has happened. I am
: sure you were prepared.
:
: It's easy for me to say you can rise above
: any infirmity, if only you believe. This is
: mainly because it is not me with the
: infirmity. In either case, you have risen
: above all things of this world, and witness
: first hand all that you have learned along
: the way.
:
: Take care, Marine. Take comfort in the hands
: of He who created all, because He has always
: been there for you, and will forever be. He
: will never leave you, nor forsake you. Great
: is His faithfulness.
:
: Until we meet again, I shall remain --

: I had the honor of meeting Steve because of
: a web site for Marines. Steve attended a
: reunion in western PA a few years back. I
: know that his insights helped many in
: attendance - I hope that Steve took as much
: away as he gave.
:
: Any of us who knew Steve miss him. I offer
: my deepest sympathy to Kit, and to the rest
: of his family.
