Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of Steven. I talked to him for the first time a couple of months ago and fell in love with him.
But, I'm happy at the thought that he is happy in Heaven with the Lord. My prayers that God will give you the strength and courage you need at this most difficult time.

Steve will be sorely missed at Double H in the Adaptive Ski program, where I met him. While his experience there was fun and exhilarating for him, he really made our experiences there (as volunteer instructors) the best part of our lives.

Janet and family, My heart was saddened when I heard today of Stevens passing. I will always remember my 3 years that I worked with him at the middle school. He was such a special guy to me! What a beautiful smile he had! I will treasure the last time I saw him at the Challenger Baseball field in Rotterdam when I came to watch him play and he didn't know I was coming! As he saw me get out of my car, the excitment and squeals that I heard were just priceless! It was a priviledge to of known him! I've thought of him many times over the last few years and wondered how he was doing....but somehow I lost contact with you! Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come. Steven will be missed!

Love,
Cheryl Myers
