Today would've been your birthday and you would've been 42 years old. I still can't believe that your gone, and you've been gone 7 years now. I miss you SOOO much. My mom, your sister, should be with you and Gma now and that has been even harder to take than I've admitted to anyone. I know that death is a part of life so I have to figure out how to move on from it but it feels like I lose someone close to me every time I start getting it back together. I'm thankful for the pictures I have of you and mom having such a good time together at my 30th birthday party. I miss those days so much that I haven't been able to bring myself to go karaoke in years now....and I always had a good time doing that. I tried to go on my birthday a couple years ago but ended up only staying 15 minutes, not even singing and leaving. I just haven't been in the mood to celebrate...especially not MY birthday. Anyway Steven, happy 42nd birthday in heaven. I'm sure your having a much better time with the Lord than you ever would've here. Give my mom and Gma a kiss for me and tell them their thought of EVERY day. Give my dad a hug and tell him I love him because if you kiss him it may not fair well for you, lol. I love you uncle Steven. Miss you always!

I can't explain how strange and empty it feels to have you, Grandma, Mom and dad all gone from us. I try to take comfort in knowing your all in Heaven and singing your "Family Tradition" with Family now (as mom said), but I miss you all SO MUCH. Mom (ur sissy) died from a broken heart from Dad having passed the Sept.before her. She passed away on February 15th, 2019, which was the same day we buried her mother....grandma Linda. I already HATED the month of February and now, well I HATE it even more if that's possible! It looks like mom missed you as much as I did. I guess I need to find a way to be happy for her because now she's with her brother, mother, father, and husband. Am I being selfish? I love you uncle Steven. I was just looking at pictures of you and mom dancing and singing at Aunt Sandi's bar but instead of crying like I usually do, I smiled. I smiled because it was a night she was so happy, and had such a great time, and it was my birthday so dad, PJ, Linda, everyone was there. I miss those times. I miss you. I love you uncle Steven...I hope you knew that. I hope I told you enough, showed you enough because even when we fought, I knew you loved me.

I sure miss you, uncle Steven!! I think about you and grandmas so much, it hurts. Looks like my mom does too. I was so depressed on New Years eve but literally forced myself to go karaoke. I got a few people to sing "Family Tradition" with me, in your honor. I wish I could hear you sing it one more time, even if you really only knew the chorus, lol. I love you, always. You will never be forgotten!!!

I miss you Uncle Steve....you were like a brother to me because we were ALWAYS together and you were 2 years YOUNGER than me!! Words cannot explain how much I miss you and Grandma. However, when you passed away it brought a lot of things to light for me; for one....it told me WHY Grandma passed when she did. She wouldn't have been able to handle the death of either of her children before herself. Also, my original wedding date, 16 years ago, was set for October 17th (the day you passed) and that was canceled and performed on November 7th instead. For a long time I was upset that my "Dream Wedding" didn't happen like it was supposed to but when you passed on this date I understood WHY!! God works in mysterious ways. You wouldn't believe how often I think of you and Grandma Linda. I get Peace in knowing your both in Heaven, taking care of each other. Most of the time, when I look at pictures of Grandma, I smile with fond memories. But when I see pictures of you, I cry. You were my partner in crime, as Grandma always said. I have SO MANY pictures of us, from the time we were little tiny, always having a good time. I have a huge hole In my life now, that I feel every day without you here. I Love you, uncle steve....for as short as your life was you sure made an impact on my life!!

I've missed you every single day since you left us! I wished for you to arrive to us many years before you were even born. The first day I laid my eyes on you I knew I loved you that very second. You were and still are MY BABY BUTTER!! We share many tears, laughs' smiles and hugs with one another. I wish I could have those back and I know someday that will happen. I miss you and mom so much, it breaks my heart! I needed you so very much when you finally came into our lives. I know God had his reasons for taking you away so early. I'm so happy for you to have been my brother. As I speak your name I can see that awesome smile and those beautiful loving blue eyes. I know you and mom (Linda Dooley) are taking care of each other. If you had gone away before OUR mother, she couldn't and wouldn't have made it at such a sad time. She loved you more than life itself. You are and will remain a special part of our life. I remember when mom brought you to Fla. to see us and you couldn't say Linda's name. You called her Fruit-Tock, cause she came from the land of grapefruits. lol Also how you loved Kelly's long red hair. You'd get two handfuls and lift both feet off the fireplace hearth, then laugh so hard you'd fall over. We had MANY good times at B.J.'s singing and dancing with family and friends. Those were good times. Just know always that your Sissy loves and misses you. I won't say I wish you were still here because you was so sick before you left us.Now the illness is gone you're not sick anymore and you're happy with our mom... Things are better for both of you in God's hands.XOXO little brother. Til we meet again!  Sissy!

Karaoke with Uncle Steve

March 31, 2015

The 2 pictures I added are Uncle Steve doing Karaoke and having a beer with his sister (my mother).  He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but he got up there, every time, and had a blast!!!  In the picture of Uncle Steve, my brother PJ, my best Friend John, and Mike C....they were singing "Family Tradition".  A song that Uncle Steve sang in a group every time we went out to karaoke.  Now, I can't hear the song without thinking of him and on his birthday and date of death we make it a point to go out and sing this song in his memory!!
