Please help me Lay Steven to Rest
Donation protected
I am at a total loss of words. My heart is broken for one of my best friends.
A few years back, on Halloween, her son was shot and left to die. His killer never found. Then, a few days ago, we learned her oldest Steven lost his life. Losing a child is an awful struggle and I can't even imagine the pain it causes, but two is unimaginable! Jacquelyn, I love you with all my heart and wish I was there to help bring Steven home to lay at rest. I am with you in spirit and know that I will do everything I can from where I am to help out. If I could wrap up my strength, my faith, my love, my everything and give it to you I would in a heartbeat. One minute at a time lovely!
"Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
This is a lesson we have learned from Steven. Not only did he dance in the rain, he wanted to dance in the rain. Steven had an exorbitant number of storms during his life so he knew from experience that another storm was coming on the heels of the one that just passed. If he hadn’t learned to dance; he may have remained dry, but unfulfilled. He was fulfilled.
We are here today with a broken hearts. The loss of a child is something we never prepared for. Even during the past week, under insurmountable odds, We refused to prepare ourselves. We aren't ready.
We want nothing more then to have Steven home in California. To give him a proper burial next to his brother. Please help us bring Steven home. We can't do this alone. Let's pull together to get through this tough time.
