FROM STEVE'S PARENTS

The note below appeared in the Autumn 2000 issue of Highlights, the PHS student magazine.

To our smart, talented, handsome, loving son, Steve -

You were a very special person – witty and funny, yet wise, warm and caring. Your presence – your smile and words – made us feel good just being around you. You brightened and touched our lives in so many ways. All of us – your mom and dad, your many friends, your aunts, uncles, cousins and grandfather – will always remember you. Your spirit will live forever, and we will be together again someday in heaven. Until then, you will always be in our hearts. We love you so very much.
