Mike,
We will keep you in our prayers. I thought I would include a picture of me and Elizabeth. I know you really remember her when she was younger. She is getting older. She enjoys singing and started playing some tennis in Dublin when we came back this fall. I hope her smile brightens your day. I would send you her singing but I do not know your contact information. I hope you got to watch some Steelers this fall; I've been busy with moving/job seeking. Can you believe I lived right by them again and did not go watch them this time, I was assisting CVS/Caremark too much:) Have a nice day.

Mike,
I moved back to Ohio from Pennsylvania again. I saw a wonderful picture of you assisting with new playground equipment. You were such a nice neighbor and assisted me when I moved to Ohio. I was so sad to come across this, I hope you and your family are doing well. I will keep you in my prayers.
Love,

Michael, Although I didn't know your son, I remember you, while being friends with your sister Pam. If he was anywhere near the gentleman you always were then you have certainly lost and raised a wonderful son. The Daverio family was always a wonderful loving family & I have been blessed to have known all of you. I pray Christs love will engulf you at that tragic time in your life & you will know the His love is eternal to all those that receive Him. You will one day be with Stephen once again as he has been made completely whole now because of the Cross of Calvary.

I have been good friends with Steven for years during high school. The fact that he is gone is impossible for me to think about. I wish I still lived in the area and could attend his funeral. He was much too young to have his life taken.

October 14, 2014
One of the most tragic and traumatic losses life can deal out to a person is the death of a son. The death of a son means the loss of more than just a precious life. It represents the loss of future experiences and future hopes. No parent is prepared for the loss of a child, and when it happens, their world is changed forever. The grief, guilt, and anguish felt are acute and lasting. Parents can find comfort in knowing that their grief and mourning are normal and that many other parents have lived through similar tragedies
