I love you sweetie and miss you more and more everyday. It doesn't seem possible you're gone, I just want to understand why. My heart aches, my lungs are sore from crying. I keep it together as much as possible for the girls and Kirby. I don't want anyone of them to think I love you more than them. You know that's not the case. I can hug them, kiss them, spoil them, all the love I have for the them I am able to give it. I have that much love for you, a bunch of displaced love, unable to go to the piece of my heart that's missing.

My heart will always have a piece missing, the piece only you could fill. Life stopped for a bit, I am living everyday, doing my best to be happy, I know that's what you would want for me. It's not easy, I close my eyes and remember our last hug. I begged God to always allow me to remember that hug, He did.

Here I am thinking of you, wondering what gifts you could have given the world. I wake up every morning hoping I was in a dream, then I have the realization you are gone. I cannot hold you in my arms anymore, but my sweet boy always know I'll hold you tight in my heart. Come see me in my dreams. Momma

Sweet Boy...I have managed another year without, it has been a bit sad every single day. Thanksgiving has past another Holiday we have had to try to limp through, now Christmas, somehow I feel this year will be tougher than the previous ones, ofcourse I'm going to take my few quiet moments and feel your presence with me. To hear your voice and feel you bear hug, that is my only Christmas wish, so I'll close my eyes and imagine you with me.
I miss you my sweet son, my heart will be forever have the icy wind rip thru it, thru the hole made with you went to Heaven. Please come see me in my dreams, sit and talk to me, please, if only for a short moment, I want nothing more than that ......
I love you my perfect son, I love you more than words can express...

It only makes sense to me that you would go first . You being the bravest and the one who needed to protect us all . I know you are with our Father preparing a place for the rest of us. I almost made it through this day without tears ,almost . I miss you . I sit on pins and needles and worry endlessly about my family. I pray that I never get a phone call like the one I recieved 5 years ago today . Losing you changed everything .I pray that you will help and talk to God too so that I could breath more easily once in a while . I'm not so silly to believe that things will ever be the same but I'm trying to make the best life that I can for my girls . I wish you could hold Rainey . She is witty and funny and I always think of you when she makes me laugh . I can almost hear you say Baby Arwyn's name . I imagine you holding her and hugging her the way you did Rainey when she was small . I feel like they were cheated . I feel like we are were . I know all I can do is trust in the Lord . And I do . I hold you close to my heart and look forward to the day that you meet again .
Thinking of you today,
thinking of you always

The world lost much more than most will ever know when you left. I know my mom is holding you until I an get there, God is smiling on you.

The Soldier stood and faced his God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as brightly as his brass
"Step forward, you soldier
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek;
To my church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders
And said "No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a Saint
"I've had to work most Sundays
And at time my talk was rough
And sometimes I've been violent
Because the streets are awfully rough
"But I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I've worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep
"And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear
And sometimes, God forgive me
I've wept unmanly tears
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears
"If you've a place for me here, Lord
It needn't be so grand
I never expected or had too much
But if you don't I'll understand"
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the soldier waited quietly
For the judgement of his God
"Step forward now, you Soldier
You've borne your burdens well
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets
You've done your time in Hell"

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Steven, but I am remembering on
this day he gave his all.
He is my hero.
Sincerely,

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Dear Sir and Ma'am
I just recently learned of Steven's death. I am truly sorry for your loss. I had the honor of serving with Steven in AIT at Fort Sam. He sure was the class clown that is for sure. All he ever talked about was going to Iraq, he could wait to get there and fight for his country and save his fellow Soldiers. Steven Sirko was truly the Soldiers Soldier. May God be with you all. I am sure Steven is with you at all times. Even in his passing I am sure he is standing tall on the lines of freedom protecting us all. God be with you Soldier Medic.

I knew steven years ago, beginning in middle school. Today i came across a 7th grade school publication that had a goofy parody Steven had written. I thought others may enjoy reading it. This is exactly how i remember him....always making everyone laugh.
Fat Food Paradise
(A parody of "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio)
by Steven Sirko
As I walk through the valley of the cabin of food, I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing to lose. 'Cause i weigh 6-7-800 hundred pounds, Even Jenny Craig thinks I'm a fat cow. But I aint never at a rat that hasn't deserved it, Its baked, broiled and boiled, and eaten with yogurt. I really hate to trip but I've got to go, As i choke in the burnt chicken smoke, fool. I'm the kinda G that wants a little tea. Might see me on my knees eatin honey with bees, now.
Keep spendin' most of their lives livin' in a fatty paradise. Been spending most of our lives livin' in a fatty paradise....
To Steven's family, I'm sorry for your immense loss. He was a great, funny person...and i hope sharing his poem will help to bring enjoyment to you.

To the family and friends of Pfc. Steven F. Sirko,
I apologize for taking so long to find this young soldier's guestbook. I have been signing the books since our own son's death on 12/1/05 and have promised myself to reach out to every soldier's family prior to that date as well but unfortunately new ones keep getting added faster than I can keep up with them.
I know they say time heals all wounds, but I'm not so sure time heals the wounds of loosing one's child...I think we all just get to some level of acceptance of it on some basic level.
Please know that my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you all and I hope you are finding some sense of peace in recalling what Steven was to you all during his short life.
To Pfc. Steven F. Sirko:
Thank you sir for everything you did for our country. I'm sure you at in Heaven with our son, watching over your friends and family. I salute you sir.

Look to Jesus and He will give you strength and His peace that passes understanding. Remember, it's just the "shadow of death." Steven is more alive than ever. Call me anytime. You have the number. I look forward to seeing you at The Compassionate Friends meetings. Hang in there. Steven's just over the horizon. It's still the same day there and he's waiting for his family to join him. What a glorious reunion that will be!

I knew Steve when I used to play pool at the pool hall in Portage and he was there every once in a while. We talked a couple times about the Army and I talked to him not too long before he was deployed to Iraq. I want to say "I'm sorry for your loss" to his wife, parents, siblings and other relatives. He was a great guy to know and I was lucky to know him.

Virginia,
My heart breaks for you. My husband went to basic training and AIT with Steven. You may know him, CPL Adam Parnell. When we heard the news neither of us could believe it. Adam always talked about how even on bad days Sirko could make him laugh. There were a few times I spoke with him too on the phone and couldn't believe how nice and funny he was. Right now we are preparing for Adam to go on his second tour in the middle east and hearing about Steve makes my heart ache. His death hit very close to home for us. I just want you to know that you all are in our hearts and prayers. Take care and God Bless

I am a TSgt. in the US Air Force currently in Balad, Iraq. Part of my duty over here is the unfortunate experience of sending our loved ones home on their final journey. I have seen my share of the ugliness of war, and most of the time I can maintain my military bearing. But I stood behind a young woman as she escorted her new husband on his final trip home, and could take no more.
Seeing Virginia there on that airplane reminded me of my own wife when I was younger and newly married. I could not comprehend the heartache she must have felt. I gave her a hug, because it was all I could do, as I was all choked up inside. I thought about that night for weeks.
There are people in this world who finish their work earlier than the rest of us, leaving us sooner than we would like.
I hope you can find comfort in knowing there is an Eternal perspective that our Heavenly Father views us in. What we see as our life on Earth is but a speck of dust in this perspective. Take solace in knowing that our love for those who pass will never leave us, and we will never be apart from them for long.
I want you to know that I will never forget about you both, and my family and I pray that the Spirit of our Heavenly Father will comfort you and your family as you grieve for the loss of Steven.May God bless you all.

I still think of Steven as that little boy that I remember so well. I wish to express my deepest sympathy and gratitude to you all. How proud you must be of him! How proud we all are of Steven and all the others serving our country so couragiously. Just know that he is now in the loving arms of the Lord. There is no greater reward for living a life of serving and protecting others. I am praying for you all. May the Lord comfort you. May your hearts be filled with peace knowing Steven is with the Lord.
I wish I could talk to you right now. I wish I had your phone number and address. I never had a friend like you before Linda. It would be so nice to hear your voice again.
If you ever need anything please contact me. I'm in the phone book.

I did not know Steven long we went to school together for a short time but he was a sweet guy the times that I did talk to him. I know Steven was your life and how proud you were of him doing what he loved to do and save and protect people. Summer you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong

God Bless. I did not know Steve, but my boyfriend played Portage football with him, and my boyfriend is also in the Army. I hear Steve was a great guy, and may his spirit live on forever.

Summer, I know Steven was your life. Your pride in him always shined on your face when you would here from him. I know there are no words that will ever take your pain away, but I hope you can find some comfort knowing that he is with the Lord. I love you & support you. If you need anything do not hesitate to ask, no matter how big or small. God bless you & be with you now and always.

I miss you so much little brother. I love you so much, and I will always honor you and keep you close to me. You are my hero Steven. You always made me laugh and you loved me unconditionally. It breaks my heart that I will never get to kick it with you again. You are so much fun to hang out with. I know someday we will be together. I love you Steven. God Rest Your Soul little brother. Be at Peace. I love you.

May God bless your family at this time of loss. I did not know Pfc. Sirko, but I am grateful for his service securing the freedoms of others. May he now rest in God's loving embrace. God bless America and all her soldiers!
