I have been thinking about you alot steve. Easter just passed and it just wasn't the same, its so hard without you here. You always made Holidays and family get togethers so much fun! you always knew how to make me smile. Whenever i see a picture of you i always want to cry, but i stay strong because i know you wouldn't want me to be upset. Josie has gotten so big! she resembles you alot. She's walking now. I wish you could have been here to see her, you would be so proud. I remember how much you always wanted to have a baby. She's our little angel, and i promise to always take care of her. It's still hard to believe your gone, it just doesn't feel real to me yet even though its been 2 years. Its still shocking that it's been so long, it feels like forever. I miss you so much stevie i think about you everyday and i love you soso much<3

It's hard to believe tomorrow is another year without you. When we were in Florida this January, your Uncle Buck would pass your picture every morning and would come to the breakfast table with tears in his eyes. You are so loved and missed. Thank God for the lovely legacy you left us with. Baby Josephine is a pure delight and a constant reminder of you. I told her I loved her to the moon and back and she would always point and look up when I said that. Perhaps, she knows exactly where you are and is pointing to you. God Bless you Stephen. God has surely blessed us with the little angel who's smile lights up a room...just like her Daddy's. xxxooo

Today, is the day we remember that grief we had to face when our beloved Stephen entering a different type of world. But, after awhile some of that grief went away because we were all thinking the same thing that he is in a better place and he'll be happier there. I'm not saying that we'd rather have him there but that even that he's not here physically he's here emotionally with us and in our memories. Stephen Lawrence D'amelio was a fun, loving, and caring person. He could always make us happy even if the worst happened. We all miss him dearly and wish he was here to see his beautiful daughter. RIP Stephen we will always love and miss u! <3 RIP SLD <3

As Stephen's anniversary approaches we continue to think of him and all of his family as we have each and everyday. We know he will continue to show himself to all of us through Baby Josephine. As you watch her grow may you feel a little less grief and remember more of the good times. May every time she smiles help heal the wounds you have been left with. All of our prayers continue to be with each of you.

It's almost Stephen's first anniversary. I was just looking at my wedding album and he was so little at the time. It made me think of Michael and Meghan's wedding. We were all at the beach continuing the party and when we were going back up to the hotel, there was Stephen, throwing up in the bushes....couldn't hold his beer. I remember when he came up to visit me and Uncle Buck upstate with his Dad. I was so worried about him riding on his quad without a helmet. That Sunday morning he was hanging out with me in the kitchen while I was frying meatbals....mmmmm smells good...of course, he had a couple before they went into the sauce. Now, in this new year, I was able to hold his lovely daughter in my arms and see his face shine peacefully through hers as she would just sleep in my arms. Her grandma thinks she's comfortable because it't like laying on a feather bed. No matter the reason, she feels wonderful in my arms. You have left us with a beautiful legacy. She is magical and able to bring so much joy to so many. Thank you Stephen. May you be held in the bosom of the Lord's featherbed and comforted by the love that only He can give. We miss you. We love you. God Bless You and Happy First Anniversary in Heaven. xxxooo

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about Stephen. We all miss him sorely and will never ever forget him and the memories we all made together. For me these were as simple as disappearing while at Aunt Josephine's house in Florida, to spend the day fishing, joking, and talking about life...even if we did get ourselves into trouble once in awhile. I will never forget those carefree days or the close conversations we always had, even if we hadn't seen each other for awhile. Beloved son, brother, friend, and cousin he was important to us all. I miss you Stephen. I thought we would be there for all of life's surprises together. God Bless you.

A perpetual kid himself (and unknowingly eternal) with his ability to make those around him laugh and never ending supply of energy I was always touched by his love and affection for children. I suppose he admired their incense and related to their constant need for affection.
Stephen was always so great with children be it his own 3 sisters or the family friends new addition. Stephen was first in line to scoop up that baby and make her laugh. (an unusual trait for any man) And he did…babies and children loved him just as much recognizing their similarity perhaps.

Stephens time with us was painfully short but one thing that will remain and continue on for eternity is love. The love for Stephen each and every one of us will carry each day and the love he had for all of us. Stephen will go on with us in our hearts, thoughts and memories.

He may be gone in the physical sense but we all get to keep the memories and no one can ever take that away. Maybe we can pity those who were not fortunate to be able to take wonderful, funny, loving memories of Stephen with them.

See you on the other side!

My deepest sympathy to your family. God gave you a special gift, "your soon to be grandchild".
May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I recently lost a child on Jan 22, 09 - he was struck by a train, he was only 21 yrs old. Here is a poem that was given to me to understand why God takes his children, when called upon.

"God's Child On Loan"
"I'll lend you a for a little while a child of mine",God said - "for you to love while he lives, and mourn for when he is dead."
It may be one or two years, or forty two or three; but will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
you'll have his lovely memories as a solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return; but there are lessons from My word I want this child to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true.
After considering all the others, my eyes rested upon you.
Will you give resist the urge to become angry, when he returns to Me again"?

I overheard some parents say, :dear lord, Thy will be done.
For the joys this child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We will shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But in the event he leaves us, much sooner than we've planned we'll brave the grief that comes our way, and seek You to understand".

Steve was truly a one of a kind guy... He had a genuine heart and would give you the shirt off of his back. His life was filled with more adventure in his twenty years than most fifty year olds will ever experience in their lifetime.
I love you man, rest easy
