I love you so much Steve. I cannot imagine what life will be like without you. Not even sure what the future will hold for all of us.
But one thing for sure is that you are in a much better place now and you’re pain free. This is what matters. I will be here to help Tina and the boys get through this and when I leave to go back to Arizona, I will only be a call away.
I’m so proud of how you turned your life around and made a better life for you and your family. I love you and I will miss hearing your voice. You enjoy your time in Heaven and I will see you again someday.
Fly high and sing those notes so that we can hear you from below.
Until we meet again,
Love Sis
Tina, you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I will help you and the boys anyway that I can. I will make it a priority to see you more often. I am so sorry that you lost Steve at such a young age. Neither of you deserved to go through all that you have. As the Bible says, we are not to question God’s actions that he has a plan for us all. I know that you will become a much stronger woman during the trying times ahead of you. I will pray for you and the boys nightly. And you always be in my thoughts daily.
Love you,
Carlene
When I got a call the other day that Tina wanted me to call her back. I had a sinking feeling. I knew what she was going to tell me that Steve is gone. I waited for hours before I returned her call because I did not want to hear it, even though being his physician I knew deep down that this was coming.
Steve was a great guy, we had a great connection. His love for Tina and their kids was so evident when talked about his family. I will miss him greatly.
Tina, you and your family are in my prayers. God bless you all.
I was out the other night shooting pool and I kept asking myself, “what would Steve do if he were here?” I’ve known him longer than any other friend, since kindergarten. We’ve traveled all over, shared apartments, and experienced things with one another that I will never forget. You’ll be with me forever FRIEND!!
Steve was there when I met my beautiful wife, his sister, Carlene. Steve was there when we needed help with our move from Maryland Heights to Bridgeton. Steve was there when we needed to install a French door and update our kitchen. He was there when we needed to build a dog house. He was there for good times and bad. Now he’s not there physically but I know he’s still there in spirit. I love him very much and miss him dearly.
Steve words can not explain how much my heart is broken, I miss you every day and I just can’t imagine how my life is going to be without you in it. I’ve been with you since I was 17 years old and I’m not sure how I am going to do this without you. I Love you always and forever!
