One of warmest men alive and still

My love this is not good-bye,you may be gone, but not forgotten...you'll alway be in my heart and I know you're watching over all of us ...with all that has gone on since you left, I could not have endure without you watching, you're still my hero and always will be, I'll see you again some day, but right now there's still work here to do, what with Sydeny and talk of another, you may get your wish of a boy and girl grandchild

Your loving Wife

It has been one year since my father's passing and it has been a hard one for my mother, brother and myself......I want to thank everyone that has supported my family through this past year and we thnak our closest friends and family for everything.

My Father,

You're doing an amazing job looking after Sydney. Your only grandchild is developing wonderfully - but you already know that. Sydney can't help but laugh at some of the pictures where grandpa's sporting his silly smile. We feel your spirit always.

Thank you for listening when aspects of life seemed more than I could handle this past year. Your parental teachings have helped me with parenthood - but you already know that as well.

Continue resting...

Love Always,
Vincent

Mary as you continue life know that Steve was always there for you. When you needed someone most, he was there. In a time when men did not marry into instant families, he was there. In life, he was there. In death, you have him there.



Your sister,

Fran

Dear Mary, I remember Steve fondly from my visit to Chigago. He was a kind and gracious host. He spoiled us terribly with treats to enjoy while we were working. My prayers are for strength and comfort from God to see you through your loss. I am sure that Steve was welcomed with open arms at the gates of Heaven

Dear Mary, I know from the weekend we worked together in Phillie

how much you cared about your husband and family. Please take

good care of yourself as you move forward with your life.

God Bless you Mary. Steve was my Uncle always when ever we had a family get together he was there for the food with Aunt Mary smiling. He was a specail guy, always joking around.

Love to all the family, TJ

To Mary and family,



I am so sorry to hear about the battle that Steve has lost. The lessons of loss reveal themselves over time a become precious gifts for us. Take good care of yourself, Mary.



Christine

All my regards and love.

We will miss you Steve. You are family. GOD Bless

I have known Steve and the whole Stachovic for over 20 years. They have not just been good friends, but family. I remember all the times that Steve would be there to help and advise me. Although, Steve seemed to be a quite man, he had the biggest heart. I know that behind every good man is a strong woman, Mary, which was not just his equal but his best friend. I know that he is with GOD and that he is watching over the entire family. With all my regards and my love to Mary, John, Vince, Yi-Ling, Sydny, etc. Love Torrey

Dearest Father,



You are the reason for my knowing how to be a man, husband, and now the father I am today. Sydney will know you through my actions, emotions and memories. When Yi-Ling and I can't be there, please lead your granddaughter to make the right decisions to keep her safe. Thank you for teaching me that a strong, silent man makes the best leader. Thank you for finding room in your heart for my mother...you were stuck with John and I...but history indicates you wouldn't have it any other way! Again, I thank you! I hope that as you play witness to my role as father - I make you proud. I promise to do my absolute best with with your grandchild, Sydney.



It is not goodbye!



Love You Always,

Vincent

Deepest sympahy from:



Dion & Laura, Shirley, Fran, Karen & Joe, Eva, and all of your friends at the D&L

Uncle Steve you will be missed by all those you were there for all their lives. We will miss you and will always keep you in our hearts and rememberances.

I was never blessed with meeting him, but through Jon I've learned alot about him, I was told that he was a strong man, up until his last days. Rest now, knowing that he is in the presence of angels, and is smiling down upon each of his family members as to say "i'm OK now" I send my prayers from Kentucky. May the Lord keep you strong for one another.

Dad, thanks for everything you have done for me in my life. You have always been an angel to me for as long as I been living, and the good in me is because of you. enjoy your wings dad, because now your an angel for eternity.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know you will miss Steve mightily. Please let me know if I can do anything at all to help you.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
