I was just thinking about how Steven found beauty and purpose in most everything he saw. His mind was always finding new uses or strategies. He loved games and puzzles he was so great with computers. I loved going to the beach with him while he used his metal detector to try and find trinkets and treasure and I collected sea glass and interesting shells then before we left we'd skip stones he was wicked good at it I sucked lol he kept trying to teach me. I still miss him after all these years....his life was like a gift spent anonymously.... tragically at peace

Michael: I am very saddened to learn of the death of your son. I know that it is the most horrible thing for a parent, because I lost my younger son, Mark, last May. I understand your pain and and am truly sorry. I remember our happiness as kids. May your son find eternal happiness; he was just too young. May God bless you, your wife and daughter.

Dear Mike and Family:
Our deepest and sincere sympathies to you.

I'll never forget how great Mike was to me to me, when he was my supervisor. As a social worker, I was a "fish out of water". Mike was very patient with me.

I wish I could return the favor and help you and your family heal.

Mike, you share my first child's birthday, and as a father I took you advice many times. I looked to to model myself after you as I raised my own children. Many times I thought of you and your family, when I drove my newborns around in a car trying to get them to sleep at night.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child, we cannot imagine your grief.

Please let my family and I know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Again, please accept our deepest sympathies.

May God Bless the LoPresti Family keep them in the palm of his hand.

Brian. Stephanie Terry and Family

I remember the days playing under the maple tree and getting all sappy. How inocent we were to the hardships that would come our way. You both were such wonderful parents, i admired you. I truely believe our life here is already paved out for us before we were even born, Steven has gone on to achieve something more greater than we can even imagine. Sarah, I am so sorry sweetie, If you ever need an old friend to talk to I am always here. Only a few houses down from mom and dad. My prays will be with you and Steven will never be forgotten in my heart.
