Steve, Your time here was short but you made a huge impact on all that you touched! Your friendship meant the world to Brent and I... We will always cherish the great times we had with you and Marianne. Your memory will be engraved in our hearts! Some day we will me again, in the garden of the LORD. Until then may you rest in peace and know that we will be thinking of you always!

Steve you had a way of making people feel as if they were very special and I guess only a very special individual can do that. I am very sad to see you go so early, but very happy to know I have another amazing angel looking after me. I love you steve, you will forever be in our hearts.

Steve, you touched so many people with your love of life and fighting spirit. I only wish I'd had more of a chance to get to know you. I'll try to help everyone take care of Marianne, I'm sure our efforts will only pale in comparison to the care you took of her. Peace and love until we meet again.

Marianne, words cannot express the feelings I will always have for you & Stevie. I truely admire the love & care you 2 share, as well as your courage & strength during such trying times. Like most good things, our times together were neither long enough, or as frequent as we would have liked, but our lives are richer for those moments. If there's a better place for Stevie than by your side, he must be there. I will miss seeing Stevie, but his spirit will live on in all who know & love him. Rest in Peace, my "Big Bro."
