If tears could build a stairway

And memories were a lane,

I would walk right up to Heaven

And be with you again.



No farewell words were spoken--

No time to say goodbye;

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knows why.



My heart is sorely broken

And secret tears still flow;

What it meant to lose you,

No one can ever know.



But now I know you want us

To mourn for you no more,

To remember all the happy times

Life still has in store.



Since you'll never be forgotten,

I pledge to you today--

A hallowed place within my heart

Is where you'll always stay.

Dear Steve,



Forever, you will hold a special place in my heart and in my mind. I miss you so much and I can still see that wonderful smile of yours.



Your loving sister,

Claudia
