“FOREVER 19”
As we watched you grow
For all we know
We will have you forever
Your quiet ways
Were like the sun’s rays
We rocked along
Life was like a song
Then, one day
It all went away
You left, could not return
Oh, how our hearts yearn
For one more smile
From your sweet face
We’ll see you again, someday we know
By faith, we know it is so
‘Til then, Sleep well, our Stephen, our nephew,
Our loved one, our friend,
For we know, this is not the end!
Until We Meet Again.

"OUR LAST DINNER WITH STEPHEN"
(ON JULY 9, 2009)
In just another day you would turn nineteen
Your future looked so right, it seemed
You were just getting off work when
We asked you to come by
You readily accepted without even a sigh
As we all three sat down to eat
We talked, we ate, and reminisced
About birthdays past
Little did we know this would be your last
Too soon, you said you had to go
So, with your cake, your gift, and a hug
You bid us goodbye
I told you we loved you
And that was no lie
We Thank You Stephen for all the joy you gave
And, we have comfort knowing
There is Hope Beyond The Grave.
