Keep going and fulfilling all those dreams and plans that you shared. May God's love, grace and wisdom guide your every step always.

To the Adams Family:
Death is nothing you can ever prepare yourself for, especially when someone so young, intelligent and loving is taken away. However, remember we loved him, but God loved him more so he took him home to rest. God makes no mistakes. Steve is looking down on his lovely family smiling at how, you, Ashley loved him so and demonstrated the qualities of a Good wife until the very end. To his children, your father is smiling down on you as well, admiring the people that you are and will become. Look to God you will give you your strength to go on. Phil 4:13 You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you! Late in the midnight hour, when you think you can't go on remember this, it will sustain you, strengthen you and empower you. Love and Blessings!

Dear Ashley,
My heart breaks and rejoices for you. My heart breaks because I know how much you loved Stephen. I know the ache his loss has left in your heart, the pain and emptiness. My heart rejoices because Stephen brought you great joy. He loved you very much. I know this because of the things you would say to me when you first met him and the things you continued to say. How he loved to touch you, cuddle with you, just be with you, cook for you and care for you.
I know how much you loved him. I could tell by the way you talked about him, how you worried over his every day needs, about his health and by the way you dug your heels in, determined to help him take care of himself.
Stephen came into your life and loved you completely. Hold that in your heart forever. Remember all the good times and everything that made you smile. You'll smile again.
I love you Ashes. Your sister "Tweeter" ;)

Ashley, Chetori, and Beanie,
Although I never met Stephen, the love you all had for him let me know that he must have been a truly remarkable man, husband, and father. His presence will always be with you through the memories and the love you have for him and for one another. He left a piece of himself in your hearts.

In times such as these; "Trust in God and lean not to your own
undestanding ." The will of God will NEVER take you where the GRACE of God will not protect you....His will be done. Thank God for Grace and Mercy.

My daddy was a very sweet and loving person that always spoke his mind no matter what was on it. He tried his best and strived everyday to make it to the end to see another. Even though my dad and I didn't have much time to spend with one another, he was still there. That's all that mattered to me. Now that he's gone, everything might change, but he's always going to be my daddy. I love you Daddy.
Your daughter, Chetori

Daddy, I love you. You always took care of me. I promise to help Mom take care of Beanie, "Mr. Willie Wiggles". I will always remember the times we spent together...

Daddy...you were my first and only love...that will never change. I always told you that I wouldn't let you go through this alone and I meant it. I thank God every night that I will always have a part of you, in my heart, and through our son. I will raise him and Chetori the way we agreed. And I will never break any of the promises we have made. I feel so empty right now. I truly pray that you are watching over us because that is te only though that gives me comfort. I'll love and honor you forever.

To our beloved daughter, Chetori: You must know that Daddy and I recognized how beautiful you are on the inside as well as the outside. We are so proud of the young lady you have become. We are truly a family. You always helped me care for Daddy, and myself, when we needed you. You brushed off our harsh words and pushed forward with your love That is how a child honors her parents. Thank you, our Princess.

Brighter days are on the horizon with the hope of reuniting someday, which it is said in his word. Stay strong, keep looking to the hills and you will find your help cometh from the lord.

The loss of a loved one can be hard to deal
It maybe something hard to believe is real
Love in you heart is what you need to keep
And your love for God should grow deep
By always keeping him close to you
And he will be there for you too
The promise he has made for you and for me
All imperfections like pain and death he will set us free
Sincerely,
Latasha Askew

It is times such as this when we question Gods plan. We must remember that Gods plan is perfect and once set in motion, it cannot fail.
In these times we must renew our trust and hope in God and his will, for he has our best interest at hand.
May you continue to trust in the Lord. Our family will continue to keep you and your family in our prayers.
