My beloved brother, you will be missed but I know you are at peace with God and enjoying being in His loving presence. I'll remember you fishing, eating cherries and pistachios, enjoying Dallas Cowboys football, Spurs basketball and Cleveland Indians baseball. As difficult as your life was you were an inspiration to others and you showed many how having Faith and Trust in God will guide them through life and help them heal.
Ephesians 4:23-24
Forever you will be in my heart and an Angel of God
"I have peace, power, love and a calm and well-balanced mind because I trust God. I don't worry about anything, instead, I pray about everything and God blesses me by giving me His peace."
Love,

I remember when Steven drove truck he made sure to come visit me. Steve was the best I've ever seen him. In that visit Steve was very instrumental in leading me to get it right with God . I always go back to that visit and remember the gift of Steven that God gave me. Steven, you are at peace and you're whole. I look forward to our next visit dear cousin. You will always be loved.
