Hey Steve-
Happy New Year! Yes, it was Shorty's birthday today (13!!)and she missed you cooking her steak out on the grill for her birthday dinner. (No rain today, only frigid temperatures). Instead we went out for steak at a restaurant with Gram, Jane and Melissa. Keep watching down over Shorty-she misses you. We think of you often and always remember your laugh and lively and caring ways.

Dear Steve,
Merry Christmas in heaven. I can't believe this is the second one without you. Melissa and I went to Kevins house and had a few good
laughs. Melissa is the spitting image of you. She certainly is her fathers daughter and is the life of the party just like you were.
It was a warm sunny day today and I took a ride down to Cupsogue and I wished I could could have gone clamming. I picked my campsite out for next summer overlooking the bay.
I miss and think about you everyday.
Love, Jane

A Thanksgiving Prayer
Dear Father who art in Heaven...
Please join our family on this Thanksgiving day
And bless each one as we sit down to pray
As we remember those who have joined You above
So dearly missed and deeply loved.
Please provide us strength on this Thanksgiving day
Bless us with memories of those faraway...
Please grant patience to family and friends as we grieve
And help us reach out to others who are bereaved.
We give thanks to You on this Thanksgiving day....
For Your presence in our lives each and everyday.
For Your comfort, guidance, and never ending love...
And for taking care of our loved ones...in Heaven above.
As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving day...
And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today....
May their lights always shine down on us and give us light...
And may we feel their presence along with Yours tonight.
May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving day
Be an everlasting light within each of us along the way...
Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above..
For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above… Amen
Thinking of Steve, Jane, Steven and Melissa on this day of thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

To the Mathews Family,
Remembering Steve... He has not truly left you. He is right there. He is the sunshine in the sky. He is the rainbows that appear after the storms. He is the warm glow you feel in your heart when you think of him. He is the gentle wind that blows. He is anything that is good, happy, loving, and strong. These are all signs from Steve that he is with you always.
May God bless you with peace and comfort.

Steve-
Julia and I thought about you yesterday, October 11th. This past year has gone by so fast. We gave Melissa and Jane a box of chocolate covered cherries, a SpongeBob lollipop and some flowers,too (some of your favorite things). Don't worry, you are not forgotten. There are so many things that always remind us of "good ole Uncle Steve".
We always laugh or have a good chuckle when we remember you. Julia says that there is a new SpongeBob episode coming out. She will have to watch it and think of you everytime she laughs. Jane, Steven and Melissa will always have you, their Angel, watching over them as time goes on. Bye for now. Rest in peace.

Steve,

Where has the year gone? It seems like just yesterday that you were here with us. Not a day goes by that I don't miss and think about you.
Took the camper down to the beach for the weekend. Thanks for giving me a nice sunny warm weekend. You know I love the sunshine.
Miss and love you......

Hi Dad,
I can't believe it's been a year already. I seems like I saw you just yesterday. I miss and think about you everyday. Each month on the 11th I go down to Shore Rd. to make sure "the water's still there". Don't worry it is. Today were going to Colleen's wedding but of course it won't be the same with out you, the life of the party.
Love, Mouse

Can't believe it has been ten month's today since you passed away. They say time heals all wounds...but I don't know if I believe that...
Melissa goes to your favorite spot on the 11th of each month to think about you.
Miss You....

Hey Steve,
We hooked up the trailer this week and took it down to Cupsogue. I guess I really did pay attention when you hooked it up....I just think you were looking down on us and saying you can do it...missed you clamming with me.
Miss you......

Had the kids graduation party yesterday at Grams house. You were missed by everyone. As usual I cooked too much food but then again when has anyone left our parties hungry? I missed you helping me in the" production line".
We took you to the party so you wouldn't miss anything..
Miss you everyday.

Today, Melissa graduated from high school. I can still remember what she wore to school the first day.
She rebelled and wrote EASTPORT on her cap. So all three of you have graduated from Eastport...No ESM for her...
You would be very proud of her. Miss you everyday.

Today is Steven's 23rd birthday. I remember the look and joy on your face when the doctor said it was a boy, a big boy at that... all 9lbs 10ozs.
He has grown into a good man that you were always so proud of.
