Dear Kevin, Loni and beautiful children, We cannot express how deeply saddened we are for your loss. Stephen is the most kind, sweet "angel" of a little boy. He was always eager to befriend our little grandson Austin when he came to visit. That truly warmed our hearts. We have all missed you so here in our neighborhood family and pray that your burden will be lighter knowing that Stephen is wrapped in the love of our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ as he waits patiently to be with you all again. I will never forget his dimples . . .

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your beautiful and adorable son, Steven, . . . . we clearly empathize with the loss of a young son. I can still see Steven at school. Oh, what a beautiful sight to see all the children silently gaze up as the balloons quietly rose into the sky! Now he is chasing all the balloons we released for him today. We know he received them in Joy!



God Bless You and comfort each of you. You will always be in our prayers. . . . all our Love.

To the Wade family.



When i saw this bueatiful boy in the paper my heart sank to my stomach. Even though i dont know you or your family i felt real bad when i saw your child in the the news paper. Even though his time on earth was only 7 years, he will live for ever in your heart and many others to. I know he would, I lost my little brother ( Jacobe 3)

right before christmas, and he has been with me ever sence. Maby they will be friends together up in heavan and keep you company in your time of need. Again i feel your pain and sadnes. I knwo how it is. When a older person dies we fell bad, but when a child dies, its devastating.

The lord will take care of you and your son for ever.

I'm writing on behalf of myself and my entire family to express our deepest sympathy. We were so completely shocked and saddened to hear the news of Steven's passing. There really are not words to express how badly we feel and how much we wish we could reach out and give all of you a huge hug right now. Your little Steven's face is so precious and we've been missing you all since the day you moved away from Draper. Please know that you are a constant in our thoughts and prayers! We love you.
