Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I did not die.

by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Miss you every day.

Hey Z... Sorry I haven't written in a while, but I had my baby on 11/21 and I have barely anytime to do much of any thing anymore! I can see your smile as I say that...

My baby boy is beautiful and healthy. He was born 2.5wks early and still he was 7lbs and 1oz!! I felt your presence w/ me that day more than ever. I wish you were here to be apart of his life, but I know that you are here in spirit. I just miss you SO much it is hard to be satisfied w/ that.

Thanksgiving was hard for me this year, not only b/c I didn't get to cook, but b/c I knew you wouldn't be stopping by. I did, however, lite a candle for you on your birthday...

I can't believe that Friday marks 1 year... So much has changed in a year, but my memories of you are still very vivid and mesmerizing.

I love you and miss you dearly,

My Forever Love,

Beautiful Zero, an early Happy Birthday to you. I know you've made it home. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams over the year. I've seen your assurance of pure health & happiness! I should have hugged you longer,stronger before I left for Africa, had we known what was to come.

It's eerie to be in Minneapolis again without your presence. Although a year has passed, I still want to pick up the phone to call you, go out with you, and see you. The conversations & laughs we'd have once again. And oh, Tiger Woods.. I hear you chucking now and see your infectious smile.

You are loved, adored and missed.

MANY HUGS & KISSES!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARLING!

Dear Zero's Family,

As Thanksgiving nears I am thankful for knowing your Dad & having met you all. He was an extremely special man. I hope you all have peace thruout the holidays. God bless all of you.

I miss my dad so much, I still think about him everyday. I thought that as time passed it would get easier but it really doesn't, I wish I could go see him or even call him on the phone. My daughter still talks about her Papa that is in heaven. He stays in my thoughts and prayers all the time. I miss him so much I wish I could have him back. The reality has really set in and I wish I could rewind time. I want my Dad back!

You know that I drive past your house on my way to work everyday. Even still its hard for me to believe that you are gone. I want to call you and shoot the shiz or stop over and bring you lunch. I have to think real hard sometimes to realize the reason you haven't called me in so long.

I miss your face...

I was very taken back to hear of Larry's death. He was a good friend who even tho we did not see each other very often greeted each other with a hug. I will miss him very much. You have my sincere condolences. Ijust heard abouth this last Sat. night 3/28.It dosent seen that long ago we were sitting at the Upper Crust having coffee.

Terry Addison

March 27, 2009

Though I hadn't seen Z in years I was comfortable knowing he was in the world. I can't say how much I miss him. We go back to Memphis and became good friends as rivals. We competed in football, baseball, and track and our friendship grew out of mutual respect and admiration. So much so that for 2 yrs. we roomed together at the U. I wish he were still here. Continued condolences to the family he left behind.

Mathilda Stevenson

March 26, 2009

Well it was my Golden birthday yesterday dad. It's really hard without you, I still wish I could call you to hear you say "Mathilda Mae". I had a dream about you the other night and it felt so real. I really miss you.

Z, how we will all miss you. I have been out of the country and now just returned to this sad day. You were a wonderful, loyal and constant friend for 30 years. What a loss not to see the warmth of your smile nor your twinkling eyes, not to hear the power of your voice, nor feel the comfort of your touch. Thank you for all that you were to all of us. I am so grateful to have known you, see you down the road my dear friend.

To the family and friends of Larry "Zero" Stevenson,
Being a classmate with Zero, Carver class of '68 and a football teammate of his, I too want to express my deepest condolences to you all. I have related to all of my friends acquired during and after my matriculation at Morehouse College, stories about Zero and how much he was pursued by professional baseball and college football teams after his graduation from Carver. His football scholarship to U of MN was one of the things I used to relate to my friends as well as a memory of Zero doing a standing, Left armed snatch and lift of 175lb dumbbell weight!! May God and the knowledge that Larry had and will continue to have an everlasting impact on many of us as long as we live.

Nancy Sampson

Z......Here's to that infectious laughter and gap-factor of a smile of yours....to all the times you schooled me on the tennis court and ever-so-keenly, did me in on the pool table!Thanks to your friend Jeff for his poignant, incredibly true, 'pool analogy' of Z...how can I ever enjoy another game of pool without you as my master opponent! Here's to blessing all of us with the royal presence of your beautiful family who's huge hearts echo the kingly man we all knew....still want to know, and will forever love.Thanks for the numerous times you helped me move...I know I promised I would never ask that of you again...you are so missed and loved by so many...I have big aspirations of seeing to it that the north wall of the 400 ends-up with a big old huge silver star upon it with a 'Z' in the center...after nearly 3 decades of camaraderie...I miss you my friend!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Stevenson family at this time. As a member of the G.W. Carver class of '68, I will always remember Larry/Zero as one of the stars of our class.

To The Stevenson,

I am becoming aware of Zero's passing only today and am very saddened. We were graduates in the class of '68 from GWCarver High (Memphis, TN).

In life, Zero was as revolutionary as those times. First, he was a tremendously warm human being. Second, his gift as an athlete were truly exceptional. To see him 'run' on the baseball, track, or football field was as memorable a moment as to observe a great thoroughbred. His stylish strides were flawless and his humility was equally the same.

I'm sure his presence will be missed but find comfort in his legacy that is unending. He was the 'star' of our class and we share your grief. Assured, Zero will be lifted up in our reunions and in every prayer.

His Peace in our Time....

My friend shared this poem w/ me:

I Did Not Die
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush.
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there;
I did not die.

- Anon -

I love you Z!!

I thank everyone for taking the time to share the memories, stories and love for my father. I love to read all of the things people have to say. I will always remember the things he taught me in life. It makes me very proud to know that my father had such a strong impact on so many people. I am and always will be honored that he is my father.

Zero was such a wonderful man and a great friend to so many people. I met him 20-some years ago on the west bank and like so many people I have carried this love for him around all this time. I was lucky enough to be able to stop in and see him many of his last days. I miss his laugh. He was truly a jewel.

January 12, 2009

As a child, coming to Carver's football and baseball practices, I would look forward to seeing Zero. The athlete who was unquestionably big as life to all of us who lived in the community. The last time I saw him was in the Springs of 1967 when he starred on the City Championship baseball team with my brothers, Russell and Satch Jamison. I am a 1974 graduate and we still talk about Zero at family gatherings. He impacted my life greatly. I later became an athlete at Carver. I am sure he is sorely missed.

Z, when I read this it made me think of you... I miss you so much.

There is a purpose, a plan, and a reason for all things.
What doesn't make sense, will make sense.
You are exactly where you should be;
your challenges are what they should be;
your rewards are what they should be;
and the best is yet to come.

Time has served you well.
Love is in the air.
And you're looking mighty good in the light that now surrounds you.

A toast to life... to you... to us...

We played tennis doubles - he hit

ever seen. I was shocked to hear
of his death - unfortunately too late

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to the memorial service, it was great to see everyone.

December 29, 2008

LORD, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light; and Where there is sadness, joy.

O, DIVINE MASTER, grant that I may not so
Much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we recieve;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Dear family and friends of Zero ~
I wish you my deepest sympathy as you mourn the passing and celebrate the life of Zero. I remember fondly our first day of freshman football at the U of M way back in 1968 and meeting Zero as my teammate and friend. He was one of the best athletes I have had the pleasure to play with and I'll always remember his broad smile and laugh which were almost as big as his heart.
GO GOPHERS....both on earth and in heaven!
Sincerely,

Condolences to the Family and close friends of Z....
especially to the children of a natural King.
As a West Banker, Larry Zero was part of what gave me hope about my City, and made me laugh that we had such magnificence and mystery among us.
Since I barely knew him, there are few stories, what is there for me is the larger than Life impression and the gentle and electric character of an unforgettable person who modeled the true strength.
Blessings and Peace, Z, and Family.

Zero,

In good times and hard times, no matter your situation or mine; You always gave me peace and always took the time.
You shared your smile and laugh with me and each and every time; I never left your presence without positive on my mind.

Although I know I'll miss you, I'm better for being with you. If I can do for others, what you have done for me; I'll treat my friends like precious jewels; They'll know their "family."

Rest in Peace

Zero had been on my mind quite a bit lately as I hadn't had the pleasure of seeing him in a while, in fact it had been one year to the day of his passing, time moves so quickly. I had been hoping to see him soon. I was shocked & very sad when I heard. He was very beatiful & kind. It breaks my heart to know I will never see or speak to him again, in this life anyway. Gods blessings to his family. Z you are now at eternal peace with Our Lord. I'll always miss you.

Zero was a unique individual with quite a lot of love and friendship to all he came across. My first experience in meeting a westbanker was no one else but Zero. Unlike others of the neighborhood he seemed to come across to welcome me and other Ethiopians in an open arms and yet I have never known his true feelings. Through out the 35 years he was the only one who showed nothing but love and humor to all who know him. I always loved him regaedlesas of meeting on a regular basis. He was truly a human being and a friend who was qualitatively and quantitatively a loving person.

Zero, I miss you so much.

To the Stevenson family I am sure that Larry will be remembered for the fond things that he did, and yet sadden that he had another appointment that he could not break.

I will miss Larry and was looking forward to seeing him, but that was not to be.
All of you please accept my condolences with love.

I miss my dad so much, I think about him everyday. All I want is to hear him say my name one more time. I thought I would always be with him. I know he had to go and I'll always keep him in my heart and memories. He was the best dad and grandpa in the world and we always knew he loved us with all his heart. I know in my heart he is here watching over us.

Lost But Not Forgotten:

Where are you?
I hope you are some where safe.
I look around your house
All I see is an empty space.
I see you in pictures
We have some great memories.
Us having lunch
Me, you and Timari.
We could always make you laugh
Even when you were tired.
I wish I would have known
That our time would soon expire.
When I close my eyes I can see you
And the smiles you used to make.
I miss you so much
So much my heart seems to ache.
I know you are in a better place
That’s what people say.
I pray to God to hold you close
Every single day.

I love you Z, Always and Forever...

My loyal, forever friend Zero! I loved you from the moment we met 13 years ago. I am heart broken knowing I was on a plane home and discovered this tremendous loss upon my arrival. How close I was to have seen you one last time. I am beside myself. You were my greatest confindant and listener. You always had an open heart, open ears and open arms for me. I hope I was the same for you. We have so many beautiful , funny memories. I had just found the pictures of us at one of my parties I was wanting to give to you. I brought it for you when I arrived from Africa the day you passed. You were so good to me and many. A man of enormous, endless gifts you are. You are deeply loved and will be forever missed.

My prayers are with you and your family.

Always loving & missing you.

My dear friend Zero has gone home.
Two months ago, I had the mysterious urge to fly back to Mpls. I hung-out with Zero for a week. We had a wonderful time together!
Now, I realize why I was summoned back. I'll miss you 'ole buddy.

I would like to express my greatest thoughts and prayers for Larry's family. I have known Larry for over 40 years. We played ball together at the University. He will be greatly missed by me for sure and by the rest of his loved ones. My heart goes out to the family. I will miss a dear friend.

I have beautiful memories of "Z". I can still hear his wonderful laugh. I am so sorry to his family for their great loss....know that your father, uncle, brother, grandpa was a very special man, an absolutely delightful person who was loved by many people. He will be so greatly missed. Love and prayers to all who are suffering the loss of our dear friend.
