Today October 7, 2015, the anniversary of the passing of Steve Jobs. I watched once again the commencement speech for the 2005 Stanford Graduating class. He spoke of death and dying but he also spoke of Love, passion and of creativity.
"Stay Hungry, stay foolish". These words resonate and so I shall.
Rest in peace Steve Jobs. You have done the work now others will continue on that path you created. Never forgotten..

The Jobs family, it is a hurting thing when we lose someone in death, but there is a better life ahead of us nothing but peace and joy, a new world just ahead, A promise from GOD. just A little while death and wickedness will be a thing of the pass. Psalms 37:9-11 & Matthew 5:4,5. "Comfort"

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Steve was an amazing person unlike anyone else. If asked to describe Steve to another person, one could go on for hours about Steve and his amazing life. Some may describe him as a genius, others as a leader, or maybe even as the god of the technological era. Regardless of how we describe Steve, he will always be in the hearts of many. Thank you Steve for all you have done.

Mr. Jobs,

The world, in fact the entire present human species will never be able to thank you enough for your vision.

Without you we would never really get a grip on the statement by Gates: "Where do you want to go today?"

I'm left with only dreaming about what you would have thought of next.
You stirred, vision and inspiration, and to do better than your best.

You sir suffered through with honor. I hope your are Knighted by your kinsmen.

Your name has been a true inspiration in our household for years Steve Jobs. My eldest son, always an Apple kid, has led us to the exploration as only a child can send their parents...in our effort to connect and keep up. I have never doubted that you were a role model well worthy of all their admiration. In your death, I am even more certain as the impact of your life on so many more is made clear. I wish your family peace and would like them to know that we all wish we had known you as a person. Your presence in this world will be missed.

I just bought my first laptop and I'am very impressed with it. The design was, at least to me, made from love and by an amazing person. I had looked forward to seeing what he comes up with next and I pray and know through Apple he will live on. I'am hooked for life because of Steve Jobs insight. He will be missed but yet just a key punch away. My condolences to all his family and dear friends. Margaret Hammonds ( Cleveland, Ohio )
