"Steven, I think about you often. I work for a government contractor now and we have military personnel coming and going all the time and it reminds me of you each time a soldier walks by. I will always cherish the memories and wish that you were still here. There are so many things that we take for granted. I never in a million years imagined that you would be killed in Iraq...I wish that you were still here with your kids. They have all grown up so much over the years. My heart aches at their loss. You will never be forgotten."

"In Loving Memory..Its been a year..8/13/04

At the rising of the sun and at its going down, We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter, We remember them.
At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring, We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer, We remember them.
At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn, We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
Rest in Peace Dear Soldier!!! We will NEVER FORGET!"
