Steven,

I don’t know where to start.... I just found out and I remember you told me I was never going to know. I hope you have the peace you always longed for. I love you more than you know best friend. From the times we use to hang out in front of my grandmas to seeing you walk graduation. I miss you so much and I am so sorry. I will always remember you for everything amazing you did and your great personality. You have no clue how much it hurts you’re gone and I didn’t find out.... I hope you’re in a better place. Love your best friend....

Steven,
You were not just my cousin..you were my child.  The first words you said to me when I found you were, "My mom sent you".  Because of these words, I knew what my role would be.  I loved you instantly.  I always told you how brilliant you were.  I loved that you'd call me for anything, were it was because you were annoyed or just because you wanted to chat.  Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that June 2018 would be that last I would actually feel you.  I know my darling how troubled you were.  I also told you that things would get better, but you had to believe in yourself.  My darling Steven, you have left a hole in my heart.,, in the heart of so many.  I am so sorry I could not get you to see the light.  You yearned for you mom.  So now my darling Steven you are with her.  You are getting to know my cousin Elizabeth you sadly left you when you were 18 months.  I can see you grinning with that beautiful smile hugging and kissing your mom.  Steven I know you are happy.  No more pain. Just remember I loved you with my entire soul.  

Steven was the one i looked upto. I knew him for probably 6 years and last saw him 15 days before his passing.  We had deep conversations of life, religion, family, food, and definitely about girls. His last words to me were '' stay out of trouble cause you dont want to waste your life in jail." my condolences to his family and anyone who loved him. R.IP STEVEN.

Steven, you were such a great friend! I remember all the phone calls and all the discussions we had.  From the jokes to the real talk. Calling me or Facetiming me daily to tell me whats up. Sometimes we'd talk as long as 3+ hours.  The trip to Ohio and all the things we did when you were here over this past summer. I truly appreciated the friendship. I appreciated how you looked out for me at times too. I hope your livin' it up in Heaven man! 
May your family find continued strength & prolonged peace! 

My heart breaks for you Steven.  I hope you've found the peace you were searching for.  I'll forever remember you as the little youngster you were back when with the big smile and curious eyes looking up at me and my crazy family wondering even then if we had any of the answers.  I'm sorry we didn't.  What we did have though was love for you though little guy.  Rest in paradise.
