July 17, 2019

Another Birthday last week...
oh, how I enjoy celebrating you, your life, on your special day!! I get older by myself... and you're always 24. As the years go by this becomes so much more apparent to me as I wonder what you would've be like at 37. Not a single day goes by that you you are not on my mind, and in my heart ❤
And I am eternally grateful for the role you played in my life. At the most devastating time in my life my heart and soul were empty and every shred of confidence I had ever had was gone .... and you told me it was ok to be happy. You reminded me I was loved when I just couldn't feel it and you told me I was beautiful when I just couldn't see it. I often think I might not be here if it wasn't for you.
You were the best listener - never judgmental. Kind, handsome, funny... Huge heart... Beautiful soul. Truly one of a kind. Boy I miss you!!! Please visit me again soon❤

I miss you everyday but today I can't stop thinking about how different life would be if you were here. Sometimes i feel robbed of having more time with you- more chances of getting older together. I joke with mommy and say I know you'd be living with me haha. I just wish I could know you now- when I'm grown and understand life a little more. Just keep watching over me Steve, I'll still always be your little sister. I love you!

I just heard what happened, I am in complete shock i have so many good memories with Steve,like going to his house to take him ketchup chips (he loved them things)or riding down Deveraux street on steves pegs on his first haro covering his eyes. if i sat here and told everyone how many good memories i have had with steve (and matt gibson) i would be here all day. and to rachel (you probably dont remeber me but i would come to your house and you would sit out side with me while i waited for your brother) i am so sorry for your lost i wouldn't even begin to know how you feel.
"Steve I hope you know that we all will miss you and even though we all went our seperate ways after graudating from harding most of us still thought about the good all days."

Dear Jackie and Rachael,

I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I pray for God to help you thru this period. Please know how much we think of you and miss your kindness and giving nature. If you ever need a friend, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll continue to keep you and Rachael in my prayers. Sincerely, Sue Ballentine

August 25, 2006

Oh Steve........i just can't beleive this.....your mom and i have been cleaning out the house; she just can't bear to be there anymore... and i can feel you there with us ....this is the hardest thing our family has ever endured- and until now, it seemed nothing could ever be as hard as losing Chloe .... oh, Steve, hold her tight for me .... God, this sucks !! Sometimes you lose people and other times they're ripped away from you, and right now i only feel the latter.... and someday i hope i won't harbor such resentment towards His plan; maybe you can help us all with that.

Last night, while cleaning the basement, your mom and i cam across those 3 plaques that used to hang on our bedroom wall- Faith Hope and Love .... I remember so clearly our room on Cottage street and our bunkbeds and those plaques on the wall - your mom tried to give them to me and for some reason i just couldn't take them from her .....

I can't stop thinking about this one Christmas Eve when we were little..... my mom and your mom were downstairs wrapping presents and we were supposed to be in bed ... we were at the top of the steps creepin, trying to catch our parent wrapping. But suddenly these loud bells rang and we ran so fast to bed, under the covers, pretending to be asleep .... we were in total shock and so exicited. I was never so sure about anything in my whole entire life- Santa was real !! I just can't get that night out of my head. My mom sz that when we have memories - especially the ones that are so vivid, the ones that just keep re-playing - that person is in your heart remebering it with you...... i believe that, too, Steve. I keep thinking about how, when Rachel was little, I would grab her arms and you would grab her legs and we would swing her so hard onto the couch. We're lucky she never got hurt. And remeber how we used to call her Chip... and take her to McDonald's..... and hide the bacon (ha!ha!) from her. Life was so simple then; we were innocent and never had to live with being hurt or making bad decisions. Oh how i wish we could go back, Steve ......I can't imagine getting old without you ... we were the oldest ... I always thought our kids would play together ....

Steve, you are and always will be the closest to me... thank you for helping me through the darkest hardest time of my life and thanks for everything else ... for keeping my secrets to yourself and always trying to help me through things....you were always the one i could confide in. When i read all of these entries i realize that you weren't just that person to me, but that others benifited from this great qualitiy of yours too- this ability to listen and console and to be a friend.....I know you're at peace now, Steve.... i wish i could've done more for you .... i love you ... i miss you ... hold my Chloe for me til i get there Steve ... stay by us and please help us through this...... i love you/////////

Kimberly Dauber

August 15, 2006

Dear, Jackie, Rachel and your entire family. Since the funeral I cannot help but think of how you are doing. I worry about you Jack the most. As a mother, I cannot begin to fathem the pain you are experiencing. I wish words could take it away, but unfortunately they cannot. I read a poem recently that made me cry, but also gave me a little peace for my loved ones who passed. I an enclosing it for when you are strong enough to read it. You all remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Love Kim



To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

steven... it's been 2 days since I heard the news and it still hurts to know I won't see you or hear your voice again. my best memories will be of you and I getting so close earlier this year. you were always so protective of me, you always had my back through it all. I'm so glad you were able to see me happy with dustin because you didn't have to worry about me being hurt anymore. life is full of uncertainties but of this I am sure... we will cross paths again because a love and friendship like this can never be faded. until then, I will be missing you. godspeed wix0rz.

Steven,

Even though we never met in person. Only online, you helped me through alot of stuff, sometimes knowing you did, sometimes having no clue you were at all. I havent been online in awhile, since I had the baby, and I come back to find out my wixers isnt with us anymore. I'm going to miss you alot, and I want your family to know I have them in my thoughts and prayers. I will always keep you in my memory.



I love you,

Christa

Dear Jackie and Rachel,

I'm praying that God will meet you in what must be the darkest hours you have known, and that He will comfort you. I weep with you. Please feel free to e-mail/call if you want to talk or just cry.

Megan would always talk about her cousin Steve... And noone believed her because we never seen you. And when we did finally meet you, I thought you were the coolest guy. We hung out everynight. You came to my house just to get away, we wrote letters back and fourth, sent eachother other pictures, shared secrets. I'm gonna miss you Steve. I want you to know that! I love you kid! Be good. Watch over us !

Aunt Jackie and Rachel,

I am so sorry about Steven. Even though he is my cousin, i dont understand how you guys are feeling. I will keep Steve and you guys in my prayers. You WILL be ok. I have been crying alot, and missing him a whole bunch, but what i relized is that he is now in a wonderful place with God, and he will never be forgotten. i love you both so much. I got your back!

Steve,

I remember all the nights we spent on Marsden hanging out and just having fun! And you would always make fun of my steakers you used to say I was a roofer because how messed up my Nikes would get. And all the nights me and the girls took care of you when your jaw was broken. You were taken care of so well then because we all wanted to give 100% and of course at the time we all liked you and you knew it.Although over the years we drifted apart I will miss you greatly. I don't know why god chose to bring you to heaven so early but I know he took away a great person and you will be greatly missed by all who knew you. My deepest prayers are for your family. I will miss you Steve. Rest In Peace
