Dear Steve, thank you for teaching me the true meaning of courage - the courage to face enormous mental, physical, and emotional pain; and to find meaning through every day that we are alive. I have known few people who struggled to the extent you did, and at your core - the essence of you - I loved your kindness, compassion, generosity, sense of humor, concern for others, and deeply, deeply caring heart. May you be free from suffering and may you be at peace.
