Steven you will be missed! Thank you for watching over Aiden when I asked you too and thank you for being a buddy to Westin. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t see you smile, I would always call you Fred and you would just laugh as I kept apologizing every time. I have been seeing you for years in the lobby waiting for your mom to pick you up or just hanging with your friends. Every time you smiled I smiled , it’s just what you made people do so easily. The boys will miss seeing you at open gym and at the games. At your memorial hearing all the wonderful things about you and how even greater you were as a person and friend and son was so touching. What a servant of God you were and I only hope to some day love and trust him even more the way you did so effortlessly . I have your picture on my fridge and I catch myself looking at it when I struggle with something and ask “ what would Steven do”. When I saw you at school that Monday before your surgery I asked you how you were and I keep regretting not walking over and talking to you more and giving you a hug. It’s so sad and unbelievable sometimes because you were so Full of life that it’s jyst heartbreaking you suffered the way that you did. But you are with your healer. Thank you for your friendship and all you left behind and your faith in God. Megan did a beautiful and memorable and extremely touching speech on your behalf and I will never forget it. I know everyone left your memorial and I as well clinging to God and wanting him more because of you.
