Barbara,
I am very sorry to hear about Steve. Unfortunantly, I just found out today of his passing, but I still wanted to send you my condolences even though some time has passed.
Steve was a friend of mine a few years ago and we lost touch when I moved. I will definently miss him, he was such a good friend to me and my brother. My thoughts and my prayers are with you and your family.

Steve, I will never forget you. You were always there making jokes and laughing. You were a brother to me and Casey. I was always happy to see you when you came over. I love you man god bless.

I can't say that I knew you well Steven, mainly because our only contact was through Guildwars, and I am halfway around the globe, in the Philippines. But nonetheless, the sense of loss reaches this far.
Its saddening to hear about someone as young as yourself moving on so early. Though I take comfort in knowing that you are in a better place, merely waiting for the rest of us to catch up.

My sincerest condolences to the Brown family, and all of Steven's friends. I send you all my strength and warmest wishes. May the clouds soon part and the heavens shine down on you all...

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. Please take comfort in the little things that you'd shared together, and never let them fade away. Steve was a good kid, and had great drive to help others that needed it. But Barbra he learned it from you. You were his rock to lean on and to push him in the right direction. Please if there is anything that I could help you with, I'm only right down the street from your mom. You say the word I'll be there.
With much Love ,

I never really got to say goodbye to you, Steve, and I really wish I could have. I don't worry too much, because I know we'll meet again. I still remember one of the first weeks you started at Foxwoods when we were talking and laughing like crazy in casino 3, talking about things we've done and seen in Rhode Island. If there is one thing that I know and that I will stand by forever, it's that you never had a bad intention; you were always kind-hearted. You'd always go up to everyone smiling, and I can still see you smirking on the bus back to the 95 lot with that crazy grill you got from who knows where haha.
I know you are having a good time with God right now, and make sure you remember me when I see you again.
To Steve's family and all of his friends, I am so sorry for your loss. At least we know that he is definitely in heaven.

Steve was a great guy. He had a very unique sense of humor. Steve was always laughing and making jokes. Every time I saw him in the Bingo Bus Lobby at work, he was always singing or playing music on his cell phone, or text messaging. In the time I got to know him, he always had a way of making me laugh. He will be truly missed. To his family, I'm so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers go out to you, as I well know how hard it is to lose a loved one. WE WILL MISS YOU STEVE!! SINCERLY, ROSEMARY SALVEMINI FROM FOXWOODS E.S.D DEPARTMENT

My son and I played Guild Wars with Taverie Mephendorph and Valtree Hoodroot, your dear son's characters in Guild Wars. We didn't know his name or where he lived. We had no idea of his family or his job. But we knew him as a friend... funny, kind, helpful, knowledgable. He made us all laugh. He brought light and life to our game, to our chats. He was a good friend.
Some people dismiss games as a waste of time or imagine the relationships are nothing special. As one who games, I would strongly disagree. The gaming community is an alternative family. We choose to spend time with these people. We didn't have to talk. We could have just played in silence. I am so glad that Steven wasn't like that. He talked. He made friends. He entertained us all. Steven was a bright and shining light. Our game and our hearts are dimmed by his absence. But his presence made us warmer and we will hold his light in our hearts always. As a mother of sons, you have my deepest sympathies on this profound loss. No words can help. But I hope that you find some comfort in the love we had for your dearest son.

Dear Barbara:
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
I completely understand what you are going through, having gone through it myself 2 and 1/2 years ago when my 21 year old son was killed in a car accident.
Should you want to talk, I am here right next door at C-1.
Once again, my sympathy to you and your family.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Barb - I can't even begin to imagine what you are all going thru right now - but you have so many people that will be there for you thru all of this. I remember the first time I saw Steven when he was just a few days old and myself and Grandma Brown waiting at the airport - he took a piece of my heart that day and he will cotinue to have a piece of my heart forever. To all the Brown and Martins - my deepest sympathy to all of you

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
