I hope your life was full of joy as you gave joy to those who knew you, like my mom, Helen Yates, who went to Austin HS with you.

Dear Barbara, Steven, Mary, and Chris,
As the Director of Alumni Relations Emeritus, I offer you the sympathy and prayers of the Saint Viator/Sacred Heart of Mary community. Know that our hearts go out to you as you continue your journey of grief. We pray for you as you share the stories, laugh and cry, and find ways to celebrate your husband, your father, and the love you shared.
As I read the obituary for this "loving husband...loving father...loving nano...dearest great-grandfather...and a dearest uncle, cousin and friend to many loved ones," I was reminded of a reading adapted from the Book of Sirach.
"Let us praise an illustrious man,
faithful to his family and friends, strong in his love.
At peace in his heart and his world,
he has left us his good name, and we recount his life of praiseworthy deeds.
A generous man his good works will never be forgotten.
Among his family and friends remains a rich inheritance born of him....
His name lives on from generation to generation.
We gather to sing his praises.
We proclaim his wisdom and love of life all our days."
May God´s promise that life is changed, not ended, comfort you!
May the knowledge your husband, your father, lives on in your goodness, give you peace and hope!
Take care and God bless you with the gifts you most need!
Judith

Dear Barbara,
So very sorry for your loss. Steve was always my hero from the time I was 5 years old! My crush and the last attachment to my Hamlin Avenue Memories. He's with all the guys now and I know bgg they're welcoming him with open arms.

Mary Kay is a great friend I graduated with from St. Emily's. Steve Jr. is a friend I was also very fond of as we grew older. Mr. and Mrs. Cannistra are two people that couldn't be closer to me in memory than my own family. They were two of the most supporting and loving people in my life. Unfortunately time and life distanced us from more years spent together. I will always remember their friendship and know that I am a better person from having that friendship. God bless Mr. Cannistra, Mrs. Cannistra, Mary Kay and family.
