Dear Steven:

I just want you to know how much I will miss you. Your contagious laugh, your smile and your personality made it so easy to be your friend. We has so many good times together over at the pool that will never be forgotten. You were so generous with letting the children have fun in your pool. They could swim and laugh and play and they really loved you for that.

Over the past couple of years the love you have shown your parents by taking care of each of them is just an absolute tribute to your caring ways. You had a lot on your plate and you did it day after day, and I'm sure a lot of those days were not easy. I commend you for that Steven and I am hoping you are in your mother's arms now.

I am so, so sad that you are in Heaven and not here, but I hope you are at peace. I love you, will miss you forever and there will always be a special place in my heart for you.

Goodbye for now Steven....

Love-
Your friend-
