A Mothers Prayer
Please god help me understand, for I don't think I like your plan.
Please god don't let me down, for I really need you to tell me now.
I can't think of any reason why, you needed to take my son my life.
I only hope, you let him know that we miss him so.
I can't stand this part of life, you know I just want to sit and cry, but I know Stevens looking down from High.
I know he's crying now, because he knows that we miss him so.
Its...

Steven was my brother. He was the best brother a sister could ask for. He was a loving father and a dear friend. He would always make you laugh when you were down and out. The world lost a great man but the heavens have gained the best angel! He will be forever loved and never forgotten! When I get sad and blue I just look to the stars and know my brother is there trying to make me smile still. I love you and miss you always Pete!

STEVEN
LOOK UP HIGH AMONG THE STARS AND YOU'LL
SEE STEVEN THE BRIGHTEST STAR.
HE'S NOW IN HEAVEN LOOKING DOWN, WATCHING OVER HIS LOVED ONES NOW, AND HE NEVER WANTS TO SEE US FROWN.
YES HE KNOWS THAT HE WAS LOVED, BY EVERYONE HE TOO LOVES.
HE WALKS IN HEAVEN HIGH ABOVE, WITH ALL THE LOVE ONES WE STILL LOVE.
THEY HELD HIS HAND THROUGH THE GOLDEN LIGHT, AND HE KNEW HE'D BE ALRIGHT.
NOW HE WAITS AMONG THEM ALL, FOR OUR SOULS TO JOIN THEM...

Steven was my son, I will always hold his love next to my heart. Steven always wanted to make everyone smile and laugh. He loved to do empression and tell jokes, he loved life so very much. I will miss you so very much and my heart will always have a empty filling until the day we see you again.
I Love you and miss you.

I am Steven's aunt and I had a large part raising him for his first few years. He and his sisters were always staying with me and my girls. Sometimes they stayed a couple of days and other times for 2 or 3 weeks. It is like I lost one of my own. One week after his death, I lost a close friend. Pam knew and loved him also. She and other friends would hold him and dance around the room. I like to think that he and Pam are dancing together and waiting for the rest of us to join in. You will...

Steve,

So very sorry to hear of your son's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
