Today marks 11 years since you left this earth. These last 11 years have been traumatic for me. Never in a million years did I ever dream I'd lose 1 of my precious babies so soon. It's been a heartache that will never go away. I love you my sweet precious Steven... my Angel in Heaven. It's taken me all these years to bring myself to go thru some of your things I've kept hidden away becuz the pain of losing you was so unbearable. But I finally did it a couple weeks ago & along with it came many many tears. I miss you so much honey. Sometimes I think the tears have subsided but just writing this has brought them on again. So Until we meet again....

Hello my precious Son... I cannot believe how long its been since you have been gone! Time goes so fast. As you well know Grandma & Grandpa Schimmels & Grandma Lehman & Don are all in Heaven with you now. We miss them all here on earth so much. I ask them all 2 take care of you & watch over you up in God's beautiful Heaven. I will never stop asking WHY? Maybe I will have the answer to that question someday. Missing you always,
Love, Mom

Missing you so much big brother..it's been 9 years since you've been gone and honestly it doesn't get any easier as time goes on.. When you lose one of the biggest parts of your heart..that stays with you forever. I hope you are at peace now and watching over all your family and friends from Heaven. I love you and miss you so much ❤️

Always, ALWAYS in our hearts you are, ....and will remain. I hope that your spirit is free, and that you are finding a greater peace in the "world beyond" this earthly one. Know that you touched many lives, ...and you are missed dearly.

Dear Steven.... Today is your birthday but you are no longer with us here on Earth 2 celebrate it. Instead we mourn your death. It's been a long & tiring road of grief for all of us. Time has softened the devastation we feel from losing you but the pain and heartache are here 2 stay forever & ever. If you only knew how much your death has forever changed our lives & just how much we needed & loved you... IF YOU ONLY KNEW. I would give my own life just to have you back again. You had your whole life ahead of you! But God had other plans for you something I struggle with trying to understand each & everyday 
   REST IN PEACE my beloved Son... my sweet Angel now in Heaven. Mommy loves you more than you will ever know.

Precious Steven, the deep sorrow related to your leaving never goes away fully. Perhaps it has "softened" for us, a little. Please know that you will never be forgotten. You sweet smile, kind voice, and loving ways will always be remembered.

CELEBRATION OF LIFE...

He will walk up on the shores of the River of Life
and be in the company of angels. This baby of mine.
His body is perfect, now that he's there.
This miracle from Heaven given to share.
He'll know only happy. He'll know only love
in the arms of the Savior, somewhere up above.
I can't say I won't miss him. I can't say I'm not sad
or there aren't secret questions that I want to ask ...
But I will trust in the Lord with all of my heart.
And walk slowly forward. That's how I'll start ...
Because he will be on the shores of the River of Life.
And be in the company of angels, this baby of mine

╰ღ╮❤╭ღ╯ A prayer for Judy Lehman ╰ღ╮❤╭ღ╯

Remembering you today,...and forever, Stevie! Your birth was such an exciting moment for your Mother, and for us all. It was a pleasure and true honor watching you grow from a small, precious infant ...into a strong, handsome kind-hearted man. Know that you remain in our hearts forever. --Jean

Steven you are love by so many. It's like the light of their lives has been put out but it hasn't Steven is walking beside all of his family whispering in your ears he loves you and he is praying for you all.
    God Bless !!!!

Till we meet again... Love Always, Mom

Dear sweet Steve..
Not a day goes by that I dont think of you still..the pain has softened but will always be with us. I think of you when I see the beautiful blue sky or ocean..I remember your beautiful blue eyes and the way they would sparkle when you smiled. You were so handsome and had so much potential..I only wish you could have seen it too. Rest your soul with God and I will see you again one day in Heaven. I love you & miss you so much brother..
Love, your lil sis Kri

Dear sweet precious Steven... Today would have been your 32nd birthday. God how i wish you were here. I miss you so much & would give anything to have you back. Time softens the pain... but only a little for the grief of losing you will always be a nightmare that will never go away. Happy Birthday Sweetheart... Forever in My Heart
Love, Mommy

Dearest sweet Steven,
It is so very hard to believe how many years have passed since your physical body left this earth. So hard to believe it's been 6 years!! 
Please know that you remain in my heart, and in my prayers, everyday!
Your gentle, loving spirit will always be a part of those whose lives you touched in such a deep, special way.
Loving you always,
Jean

Thinking of you today son, as I do everyday. You would be 31 today. I will always wonder what you could do with you life. I admired your strong work ethic, I guess you had a good teacher in your dad that way. I love you and miss you far more than any words could ever say. I love you, son.

Always remembering you,...and continuing to miss you,...dear Steven. I still feel challenged to understand the difficult mysteries of this life,...like why some loved ones leave this world so early,...too early. Wishing you were still with us, yet grateful for the time we all had with you. With much love, Jean.

I cant believe you have been gone 5 years that is unbelievable! I would give anything to have you back. Our sweet Angel Weegy joined you in Heaven a couple weeks ago. How do we go on without you & her in our lives? Its so very hard. Everyday is a struggle. I guess it's true what they say that you never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Forever missed my sweet Son. Love, Mommy

Happy Birthday my beloved Steven! Sending you birthday wishes up to Heaven. Today as always is a very difficult and heart-wrenching day for Mom especially this year because you would have been reaching a new decade and would have been 30 years old today. Till the end of time I will ask this same question every single day... WHY WHY WHY??? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO AWAY... DIDNT YOU KNOW HOW VERY MUCH YOU WERE LOVED? Missing you more than words could ever say. I love you my sweet Angel in Heaven xoxoxo

To my precious angel up in Heaven.... your abscense has left a huge void in my heart. I just dont know how to go on without you. Our family will never be the same because someone we all loved dearly is missing. I pray you are at peace. I miss you so much Son & my tears for you are never-ending. RIP my precious baby...until we meet again

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART... Today you would have been 28 years old... you should be here with us celebrating. If only you could have seen how beautiful life can be... but you couldnt because you were too sick. I know you gave it your all & because of that you will always be my hero. We share a special bond... mother & son... and it can never be separated even in death I love you my sweet Steven ♥ wherever I go in this life I will always carry you in my heart

Dear Sweet Steve,
Know that your precious memory lives on in each of the many, many lives you touched during your brief time with us. Happy Birthday!! We miss you, and always will.
Jean

I forgot we had a special page in memory of you my dear sweet son. Im so sorry this is late but i wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! On your birthday your brother and I released balloons up to Heaven for you! Did you get them?? I hope so! I cried so hard that day. I miss you so much and still cant believe your really gone. Love you always and forever, Mom xoxoxo

I never knew your son….but I can feel the love you had for him was very strong……That will live on forever……I hope you find the peace that Steve would want for you….May I share words from a song that might help…It was on both my Mother and Father's prayer card.

We pray you'll be alright
And watch us where we go
Help us to be wise
In times we don't know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead to the place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
We pray we'll see your light
To hold with in our hearts
When starts go out each night
Watch us from above
With your everlasting love
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion

Your son lives on…and so will you my Dear Judy…….PEACE

To My Angel In Heaven....When i think of my life & all you brought into it i am overwhelmed with gratitude. From the second i felt you stir in my womb i fell in love with you. You have touched so many lives in so many ways. I love you more than words can say. Your memory will live inside of me and that is where it will stay. Thank you coming into mommys life if only for a short while. So many memories you have left us with. For this we are grateful. If i could i would walk right up to Heaven & bring you back home. But i cant. Your memory is all i have. You are the only one who has ever heard mommys heart. along with your brother & sister. If only we could go back in time....I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK MY PRECIOUS ANGEL

Hey big bro.. I miss you so much, more than you'll ever know. Some days it gets so hard realizing all over again that you really are gone.. A beautiful life taken far too soon but all I can hope for now is that you have found everlasting peace and love, without suffering.. you deserve it so much. You're a beautiful person inside and out and brought so much joy to many lives. I love you <3

Before you were even born, your Mother feel in love with you,....so deeply. I recall her saying how much she "loved being pregnant!" (She was my role-model for how to embrace a pregnancy with courage & true joy!). Once you were born, she enjoyed all your early-life experiences,....learning to walk, learning to talk, etc.  She loved you during your entire life & continues to do so!!

Hey man, we're taking good care of your kitty, as we promised you we would. She loves her new home. I'd give anything in this life up to see you again.

Steve- We went to McDonalds every day I picked you up from high school. On our way to take you home we talked so much ... about how you were looking forward to learning to drive, how you were working for your dad in the basement with his reloading business and the meaning of the word "sycophant" which fascinated you somehow. I miss you and am grateful for the time shared!
