Dear Mary Ellen And Family,
Keith And I Were Saddened To Learn Of Steve’S Passing.Hearing His Name Brought Back A Flood Of Happy Memories Spending Time With Him, Especially At Our Home , Soccer Games, And Soccer Trips. I Can Very Clearly See Him Running Down The Field- Blowing Past Anyone Who Dared To Get In His Path- And At The End Of The Run- That Big Smile On His Sweet Handsome Face. I’M Not Surprised To Read About Steve’S Accomplishments In That Beautifully Written Obituary. Even Though His Life Here Was Short, Sounds Like He Filled Everyday Doing Things That He Loved To Do And Reaching Admirable Goals. Like You, We Are So Very Proud Of Him.

Stephan Can Dance In Heaven And Breathe Easily. He Was Much Too Young To Leave So Early, But His Fortitude In Giving His All To Get His Degrees Shows What An Exceptional Man He Was. We Remember Him From Childhood Soccer Games And Running As A Tribe Through Our Wonderful Neighborhood In South Hills.
All Compassion And Memories To His Dear Mother, Mary Ellen, And Sisters.

I Am Sorry To Hear About The Loss Of Your Dear Loved One. Please Accept My Condolences At This Painful Time. Losing A Loved One Is Distressing And As Comfort Is Needed From Family And Friends, It Is My Hope Your Family Will Find Comforting The Promise At Isaiah 25:8 Where We Are Assured That “Death Will Be Swallowed Up Forever.” It Is My Hope Your Family Will Find Strength To Endure During The Days Ahead.
