Mr. and Mrs. Fischer,
Stephen still has that beautiful smile that would light up the classroom at Thomas Jefferson. I still have the magnet that he gave me for Christmas on the wall in my classroom. Everytime I look at it I am reminded of the incredible child who loved to smile. I thank God that you were chosen to be such wonderful parents to such an inspirational child.

Mr. and Mrs. Fischer,
Steven still has that cute, ornery look that he had in kindergarten. Everyone at Thomas Jefferson knew Steven and he was always ready to be in on the action. As I was outside today, looking at the beautiful clouds, I thought of him running and laughing, finally being free. You were the perfect family for him and God knew it.
