It has been about 14 years since we lost a great person like you Stephen. Your loss was a big shock to all of us. May God always give Karen the strength to overcome losing you. We all love you. May you Rest In Peace.

It has taken me 4 years to gather up the strength to write here. What can I say about someone who was the light of my life for almost a year? I think about how things could have been different... But mostly I think of how much I love you. We have so many wonderful memories, and I miss you just as much today as I did the day you passed. I love you so much.

One year ago today I embraced you for the last time. I gave you the picture of your God-Mother I had held onto for all those years, and saw you off after dinner with Grandma. Never thought it would be the last time I would be able to put my arms around you and hold you tight. One year and you were in my thoughts all day today...and every day since you left Stephen.
I miss you and I mourn for you so.

For Just A Moment
For just a moment
I’m sure I saw
a flicker of light ahead.
Perhaps it was your smile.
Though past now, remembered,
in my heart
like the small sound of
a butterfly passing by.
No night
is so dark
that can not be brightened
with memories of you.
Raindrops carry along
your blessings from heaven
to wash away my tears
and bring me hope anew.

Another Sunday and this passing storm has settled some. But the waters here continue to roar well past the rain and the quieting winds.
Sometimes you just have to sit back and view the world from the position our God has allowed us, and here, I know, was one of those spots for you Stephen.
Missing you always,
Dad

It's been three months Stephen and things here are just not the same.
I was with Danny the other day and we talked about you and what happened. We decided to look for more answers and hope to find them soon.
Don't think for a moment that I have given up. I'll look and look as I know there's something I'm yet to find.
When the time is right, I'll be shown what it is. Until then, I will always "keep the faith."
I love you Stephen and will always miss you.
Stephen Joseph Cagnacci Junior Rest in Peace

Came to visit you today. It's the first time we we've been alone together since you're gone. I came to make sure you had some company on this sunny March Sunday. I came for some comfort and all I left behind were my footprints in the fresh white snow. I'll be back again someday soon. You are never going to be forgotten or alone Stephen.

ET DOCERE ET RERUM EXQUIRERE CAUSAS
Today is your 26th Birthday and I am here, thinking of the day you were born.
I remember that day, standing in awe, watching as God's miracle unfolded before me.
I myself was only twenty-five years of age at the time. You were my first born Son, Stephen.
That day I became your Father, I also became a different man.
You're birth changed me, and now, so has your death.
I will come visit you today with your brother and we will grieve together our loss of your life.
With all my love,
Your Father

A parable from Facts of Faith may give strength and understanding during this difficult time; your family is in my thoughts. "Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it."
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Lord God, I confess that I am a sinner and that Jesus came to this earth and shed his blood so that my sins may be forgiven. Lord, I confess that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and now sits at the right hand of the Father. I now accept Jesus Christ as my Personal Lord, Savior, and Master. Amen.

Steve and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. You are a wonderful friend and I'm sure an amazing father. He is with the angels now and won't hurt anymore. My heart goes out to you and your family in the days ahead. I will be here for you if you need anything, even just to talk.

Steve - I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. You shared with me a lot of the efforts you put forth. I want you to always know Steve that I am here to speak with you anytime you need. My younger brother was buried on his 20th birthday and I think about him every day. I honestly believe he is in a better place and someday we will be together again. My prayers go out to you and you have been a great man to know on a professional basis and a friend as well. I hope that you can always remember the joys that he brought to you and be grateful for the times and memories that no one could ever take away. My prayers are with you

My good friend Steve and family. My heart is broken for all of you. Please know that your Son is in Heaven and with God. God chooses when he takes his Son's and Daughter's home as he allows us the time he does with our loved ones until he is ready to take them back to the Kingdom of Heaven. May you have peace knowing that your Son is resting with the Lord. God makes no mistakes. Please trust in him. God Bless all of you. Love, Len & lenny Mosco

My sincere condolences on such a tragic loss. From my brief meeting Stephen struck me as a bright and curteous young man, one whom any parent would be proud. I can only imagine what you and your family are going through. I hope that you may truly find peace and understanding in what he has left behind to remember him by.

It's Christmas Morning and I'm remembering my Son Stephen Junior, and how I looked forward to his phone call, just to know of his location and his plans, to hear his words spoken.
As his Father, my duty was to watch over him, and in time, see him grow into a man. My missions to recover him, redirect him, update his effort, all now have ceased.
He is at peace now, his pain was great, his life was a struggle to overcome, and he did so, so many times. This time, he could not.
He wrote a short but intense "My Life Story" and left behind for me, as a legacy, the detailed history of his struggle.
I have no more questions. Stephen has answered them all for me, and I continue on, stronger than before, knowing more, and now, understanding more.
He was my beloved Son, and I will grieve the loss of his life forever.

I'll never forget the day Steve and I met when he was working at Mario's. We instantly became close friends. He was witty, charming, always laughing and smiling. We had so many great times together, he will always remain in my heart and mind. My condolences go out to his family, he will be greatly missed!!!
