BEYOND LIFES GATEWAY
Theres an open gateway
At the end of the road
Through which each must go alone,
And there is a light we cannot see
Our Father claims his own;
Beyond the gate your loved one
Finds happiness and rest
And there is comfort in the thought
That a loving God knows best.

Cheryl, Gene, Kenny, Megan,
It goes on nearly two years since I met your son and brother. I can still remeber the first day we talked. From that day forth he lit my life, always offering a smile and a huge hug. I can not begin to express how much he ment to me and how he has affected my life. He was a wonderful person who was taken away far too soon. But he is looking down at us, with his big curious eyes and goofy grin. Bless you all.
Kathy McPeak
August 25, 2005
While I only worked with Steven for several months, he told me many stories of his home life and what has came to mind was that he always talked about You, Gene and his family in such a loving way I knew how much he loved all of you. Please remember that. You, your family and Steven are in my thoughts.

It seems the only words i can say are ones to Steve that I've never said to him. He was so much like a brother to me. As much as Ryan is, having known him so long and rarely seeing Ryan without him. May God grant everyone who was close to him, the strength to get through this very difficult loss.
