Dearest Steve, our hearts are broken and everything is just a little less bright without you here. You are loved so much, by so many, I just wish I could have helped your pain. I know you are no longer in pain, so rest, sing, act or wrestle, you are our "Star" and will live on in our hearts forever. Your Mom - I Love You.

My heart is broken.. But I promise for every tear shed, I will relive a happy moment with you, because you opened my eyes up to so much, and I thank you for that. You're always in my thoughts, but you probably already know that, because.. you're Steve. I miss my big brother, but know that I love you. I feel so fortunate to have gotten close with you. "You know EXACTLY what I am talkin' about!!!" Connected.
