Steven E. Tatro, 47, of Auburn, died Monday August 18th in Saint Vincent Hospital, after a long struggle with diabetes.

He leaves his wife of 20 years, Michele (Hilton) Tatro; his daughter, Amie (Tatro) Godwin and her husband Lee of Marietta, GA; his two sons, Justin and Nathan, both at home; his mother, Suzanne K. (Bauer) Tatro of Spencer; his four brothers, Michael R. Tatro of Rehoboth Beach, DE, James F. Tatro of Henderson, NV, Mark E. Tatro of Millbury and Robert J. Tatro of Auburn; his sister, Kathleen A.

He was born in Worcester and has lived in Auburn for many years.

Michelle & Family
I was so sorry to hear of your loss.
Please accept my deepest sympathies. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help at this time.

When you feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

LOVE,DENISE (CHICK) REIGLES

To the entire Tatro family,
Goodbyes are not forever
And nor is it the end
When angels come to call away
A loved one or a friend.
The empty place that's left behind
Within this world we know
Reminds us just how brief a stay
we have before we go.
So when it's time to bid farewell
To one we'll dearly miss
Let's just say we'll meet again
and promise them with this......
The true gift is that love remains
Although we now must part....
Until forever and beyond
I'll keep you in my heart.

I am thinking about you and hugging you tight in my heart!

Michelle,
We are deeply sorry for your loss. I thank you for taking such good care of Steven during his long illness. He has told me many times just how much he loves you and your family for all that you have done for him. Standing by Steven through all the good and difficult times surely showed your unconditional love and the caring woman that you truly are. I am sure Steve will watch over you and your family wishing you the strength to carry on. Steven’s heart has always been large but never larger for the love he held for you.

We’ve been friends since childhood, friends as men. No matter the time span in-between our visits or our phone calls we would always talk to each other knowing there is a good friend on the opposite end.

We would speak of our family’s the love we have the goals we seek and the dreams and hopes for the future. We’ve shared the problems we faced in our lives being supportive to each other without prejudice even if only to lean on a shoulder or to talk out load knowing we could as friends.

I'm thankful for the most resent memories we’ve made riding on our Harley's side by side feeling free and proud. We learned to put our problems aside living in the moment without a worry in the world appreciating what we have now never thinking of the end.

The time has come where this will physically never be again, but rest assures my friend, I will carry our friendship in spirit and in good memory always knowing you are now free.

Michelle,

We were deeply saddened to hear the news. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.
