Steven. I still can not believe you are gone. I still don't think it has fully hit those of close to you yet. I wanted to speak at your funeral and started to get up several times but I knew I wouldn't get 2 words out and fall apart. I don't know who I will call now to vent, cry or cut up with. I will be telling stories about you for the rest of my life. You are the funniest person I have ever met. You always had my back no matter what. Who else is gonna mess with your brother with me because me and you could really get him stirred up. I have never seen Greg take anything as hard as losing you. He is so heartbroken over this all. We will miss you always. I miss you and always will. Love your sister n law

Steve, I wish we had been more in touch when we became adults. I have so many wonderful memories of you when I was a kid when I would spend the night with Lynette. I really wish we were able to stay better in touch. I hope Greg and Lynette will want to get back in touch and stay in touch. I know I have many cousins (your kids and Greg and Lynettes that I have never met and would love to get to know. I miss miss you. I know you are with your mom and my mom and Aunt Lorraine and Grandpa and Grandma Hill. Give my mom a big hug for me. I love you!

I will miss Steven's laughs and his jokes. It was a joke for him to ask me with all seriousness if he could borrow $7! He was so much fun to be around! Just can't believe he's really gone but thank God that love never dies! All my love and sympathy to Dessa, Ann, and Ringo.
