Steve, I have been thinking a lot about you lately. I still struggle with you being gone. I know you are with your parents and probably golfing every day. I will forever hold you in my heart.

To Mr & Mrs Colson, Dawn and Vicki.
While Steve and I were casual friends I always enjoyed seeing him on my trips back to Atlanta. I enjoyed being with him and enjoyed our time on the course. While Steve was only at my home in Atlanta a few times while we grew up, this week I found all I needed to remember Steve for. I mentioned his passing to my father and he replied, Steve, he was the polite, caring young man. That is how I remember Steve, as my Dad does.
To all of you, to all of us that mourn, may God Bless You.

Although Steve and I met just four years ago through mutual friends, we found that we both shared several common interests -- especially the love for golf.
I will miss Steve as all those who knew and love him will. To Steve's loved ones, I can only express my sympathy and to let you know that Steve touched many lives.
I will remember Steve always and will especially miss him when it comes time to tee it up.
My prayers are with all those who mourn.

Betty, My Forever Friend,
As you know, Steve was always my young, cute hunk. We laughed about it a lot. During the past months we became close through e-mail... sharing jokes, letters and updates regarding you and Rod. I always thought, if I had had a son, I would want him to have the qualities I found in Steve. He will be missed by many who loved him but especially by me. My prayers are with you and your family.
Love, Carol

Mi vida no será el mismo sin usted en ello, Esteban.
