Steven,
It's Auntie Liz. We miss you very much. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Your mom is having a really hard time right now and so are your brothers. Talk to them and ease their pain. Let them know that you are okay and that you are with your Grandma Lola, Grandpa Joe, Grandpa Librado (Bo), Grandpa Gordo, and your little cousins [who are bugging you too]. You left so fast and so many people broken hearted, but with the pain we all feel, comes strength. You are in Heaven with our Lord and that is comforting to know. Be that Angel to us all. We will see each other again. Lots of love, hugs and kisses. I LOVE YOU,
Auntie Liz

Rose,
It is hard for me to know exactly what you are going through, but i want you to know that I will be there for you always and that I am just a phone call away. I have three kids myself and to lose one for any reason is unthinkable. Please know that he is in a peaceful and safe place now. Also, as like you were telling us about your grandmother having him now in her safe arms and loving and caring for him, is and was not just a dream, Rose-it was the energy of a great bond between you and your loved ones which will never cease. Love you Rose. Auntie Pat

Remember that your family will hold you close to their hearts and they will remember you as the beautiful boy that loved every one with his whole heart. You are gone now, but your memory will forever hold strong in our hearts and in our memories. Nothing can take those memories away from your family who loves you. Rest now beautiful boy and remember we will be thinking of you always.....Love, Yolanda

Steven, since the first time i seen you in school I knew your were someone very special! You are an Angel, and angels are never forgotten!! I remember our lasts conversations...and the things we said to one another before hanging up, and one of those was "talk to you later and see you soon!" I beleive that with all my heart. I barely got the news of your passing late last night and found out what happened through Rubie today...If I would have known I would have been next to you in a heartbeat. I am sorry that I didn't get to go to you memorial service, now I can't be near you to say hi or to at least see you for the last time. I would do anything just to go back in time to at least give you a kiss on the cheek. I love you and will always have you with me.
I came across this poem from this same site and as I was reading it I thought of you Steven and your family and friends.
Message from Steven to us:
To my dearest family (and friends), 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 (and friends), 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.

Dear my big.. well not that big.. but my big crazy cousin Steven,
Squiggy.. man I cant belive that you are gone. Nothing can ever fill the the void in my life and in my heart that only you filled. You were my cousin, my big brother, my bodyguard, and one of my very best friends all wrapped up into one strong, incredible person. I will miss you more than anyone can imagine. You were the one i could call on when no one else would be there. I love you Steve! I always will. You made such a great impact on my life and i know someday we will meet again.
Watch over me cuz... Love, Jaz
