Steven was one heck of a guy - funny funny - serious serious - sounded just like Al Pacino! and I told him so every time I saw him. He loved his family so much and had the highest respect for all of you. Please accept my sincerest condolences upon his passing - the only consolation being that he is pain free and with your parents.

To Sheila and my nephews: He loved you guys so much, try to help each other through this. To my Stevie--I didn't want to lose another brother, especially you. We had many ups and downs when I was a kid and didn't understand some of the things you were trying to teach me. I realize now that I should have listened instead of rebuffed as I did with so many in our family. I hope you know how much I loved you and how much I worried about you. I hated to see you at the end, knowing you were trying to put on a brave face but we knew you didn't have much time left. I just hoped it would have been longer but I guess we all hope that. I hope your with Mom and Dad and Brian. Brian and you were another two-some who were always together until he passed. Ray will miss you the most (besides your kids) because you and he had your little inside thing that no one knew about. The jokes that only you and he got, the same view on so many subjects and I know he will feel lost and empty without you. Watch over your kids and help guide them in their life choices. Most of all, I hope you are finally at peace and no longer bound by the pain that kept you in this world. I love you eternally...your baby sister.
