When any kid is new to a neighbor you always look for other kids your age to play with. Fortunately, Loganberry Ct. and SunRose Ave provided exactly what I needed. I think the first time I encountered Steve he was maybe 4 or 5. Like I was saying, you always look for those kids your age, because they will usually share your common interest, but you couldn't ignore "little" Steve. He brought so much life to the neighborhood and energy! We used to pride ourselves on our bike jumps in front of the Hylton's and Adams', because the jumps were so long and big (in our eyes)! Here comes Steve and he "thinks" he's going to clear the same jumps....he would wreck about 50 times, until he cleared the jump! I was convinced this little kid would be a stunt man someday.
One thing about being apart of the neighborhood click is you know everyone and when someone moves away, you notice. For almost 10 years and maybe a litte more, our click stood firm...with enough memories in our pocket to thumb through for life. Steve was never left behind in our neighborhood activities, he was one of us, no matter the age difference. Today, even though we are left behind and he is gone, we are still one. Loganberry Ct. will never be the same without "little" Steven Adams, but his footprints still remain.
In closing:
One memory(or memories)that stands out: Don and Steve going to get the mail. It was very rare that Don would be seen getting the mail without Steve. The two were inseperable. It was always different after Don passed and seeing Steve get the mail on his own, you knew either he wasn't the same or maybe it was the familiarity you didn't want to let go of. In this very moment, a little boy and his father, side by side, receiving the greatest telegram of all. It was the deliverance message of Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. KJV
Steven, I love you little buddy, your presence will be missed. You were one of a kind...rest little man, rest.

This third candle we light in you memory. For the times we laughed, the times we cried, the times we were angry with each other, the silly things you did, the caring and joy you gave us.

The second candle represents our courage. To confront our sorrow, to comfort each other, to change our lives.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

By Lamaretta Simmons

The Two of you "hamming" it up as usual

Each morning when we awake, we know that you are gone. And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness and many tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still.

There will always be a heartache, and often a silent tear, but always a precious memory of the days when you were here.

If tears could make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane, We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain, to walk with us throughout our lives...until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now, and nothing will be the same, but as God calls us one by one, The Chain Will Link Again.

Always in our hearts
Always on our minds
Always in our prayers
Always forever loving and missing you!
