When we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still.
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness,
A longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch,
We may not understand why you left this earth so soon,
or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye,
but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died,
but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
We will see you again some day, in a heavenly place
where there is no parting.
A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.
To my Friend I will say, we will meet again and such stories we will tell.

Miles, Steve's cousin, living in Michigan with his wife Barb, tried to arrange travel to Colorado Springs for the funeral but time proved to prohibit the plans. May the Lord grant you peace and comfort at this difficult time. So many fond memories of your whole family.
