I remember when you first came to me and I hugged you. You told me that you knew I would always love you no matter what you did. And throughout your short life, you made me frustrated and a little angry at times, but I always loved you. You were a sweet young boy and you knew that I loved you. That means a lot to me as I look back over the years, I can say you were a blessing to all of us in many many ways. I will pray that you rest in peace and that God will keep you close in the cradle of his arms. I love you Steven, Grandma
