I would like to light a candle to remind me of all the kindness and light that he showed to me and others . He was such an huge part of such a fun and loving family that I thought meeting his family at Thanksgiving that year was one on my most amazing holidays ever. I was going to school to be a teacher, I loved kids and big families too. We were very silly when we dated and had so much fun and it broke my heart when we stopped dating. I think he wasn’t thinking that the long distance trips were worth it. My mom and dad both thought very highly of Steve. I hope he was able to live a full and fun filled life with his friends, family and community because they is what seems incredibly important to him when I knew him. I may want to plant a plant, or flowers in his memory if possible.

Steve was one of my very best friends for about 50 years. I couln't have had a better buddy. We had a lot of adventures and fun. I just didn't want it to end so quickly. I wanted to do a few more things with him and David and Jeff. I think he was a great and good influence on everyone that came in contact with him. He was always honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable. I will miss him and there will be no one who can take his place.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
