My Brother, My Friend

What a state of shock,

What disbelief.

So many devastated,

Lost in grief.

She had tried many times,

She and her Mother.

Hoping to save the life,

Of her precious Brother.

Will we ever know,

Or begin to understand?

How much pain can one soul stand?

Questions are plenty,

Answers are few.

But one simple fact remains true.

His pain and his suffering

Have been left behind too.

But here you are standing,

Your Mother and YOU.

Think of him softly and sweetly,

And know that he loved you both deeply.

Try to remember the good,

And none of the sad.

Hold on to the memories,

And the years that you had.

The life that was lost,

Has been found up above.

May the Lord’s gentle spirit,

Wrap you up in his love.

Until the glorious day that you see him again,

A bitter sweet goodbye,

My Brother, My Friend.

In Memory of a Wonderul Man...

Our precious Steve, with all my heart I love you and appreciate the love you always gave in return. I am so greatful for all the time we had together and for the things you did to make my life and home a happier place to be. When you walked into a room, you filled it with fun, excitement, big smiles all around for everyone, bear hugs and kisses, silly greetings ("Hey Girl")and lots of teasing. You were such a bright spot in my life and will always be. Until we meet again, my dear Stephen Friend Ingraham, I send my love and prayers. To Mike and Dorothy, Shelley, her husband Steve, Billy, Natalie, Jesse, Anna, Tyler, Brittany, Courtney, and Austin, I loved him so much. My heart will never be the same. Thank you for sharing him with me. His mother-in-law, Carolyn Hurley.

We loved Steve so much. It has been a pleasure being a sister-in-law. He was always so complimentary and kind to me. He always had a big smile for everyone and my children loved him. Uncle Steve was a favorite uncle. He had a wonderful sense of humor and I loved to hear him laugh. We enjoyed many family gatherings together. We will all miss him.

For Steve,

Jesus released a soul that day

Ever up where angles stay

Serving God both then and now

Understanding why and how

Souls of others come to greet

They gather at our Father’s feet

He, The Son, stands between

Enveloping the soul so lean

Carefully, the book laid bare

He, the soul, is listed there

Rightfully, soul meets judge

In God’s eyes, devoid of smudge

Songs of joy fill Heaven’s dome

This soul, so dear, is finally home.
