I will forever miss the awesome big brother that you were to me. You were taken from us to soon. You were a force to be reckoned with and a hilariously smart guy. I wish I was able to have more time with you.

Maryann I am so sorry for the loss of your son, Stephen. How does one comfort a mother when she loses a child. Words cannot express. I pray that you find peace knowing Stephen is no longer in pain or suffering. I pray that God releases angels to be by your side during this time and I pray you find a peace beyond all understanding.
