"Connie and family, Steven was such a special friend. The moment I met him in school, I knew he was more special than just a friend. He was an instant brother. His laugh and smile seemed to just welcome everyone around him. Not many people have that gift. My husband and I are keeping all of you in our prayers. "
"Steven, I will miss you so. I will hold on to the last words you said to me as we ended our phone call, \"Love you, Boss\". You were and always will be so very special to me my Brother. Watch over us and know that we will meet again. Love you Steven. Lynn Wheeler"
