From Julia - your birthday

Stephen,

Althought I've missed writing you a little note on your birthday, we were still thinking of you.

Wherever you are, we raise our glass.

Miss you,
Julia

Happy Birthday

Hey Stephen,

I hope you still have a way of celebrating today, and that those angels still allow you to have a beer or two. I'll have one for you tonight.

I miss you.

From Julia

I had only just gotten to know Stephen, but in that brief time I was privileged to share his spirit, laughter, honor, and generous nature. He and his family are among the kindest that I know. Like David, I think of him often, and he is missed.

First Anniversary

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time or reason
Can change the way we feel.
No one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles.
No one knows how many times
We've broken down and cried.
If our love could have saved you,
You would not have died.
If our tears could bring you back,
You would be right here by our side.

Only Yesterday

Hey Stephen,

A year already, huh? It seems like only yesterday we were jamming, recording and having a blast, with no thought of tomorrow.

You're never far from my thoughts and I know we're all still in yours.

Thanks for being there through the years, and for the music and the beers; a part of you may be gone, but our friendship still lives on.

If you see Mozart ask him if he has any good tunes you can pass on to me!

I miss you, Buddy.

Forever Young

Hey Stephen,

I hope you've found peace, happiness and that you're free of pain. Yeah, I know that you'll be missing all of us as much as we miss you, but I'm sure you'll be keeping yourself busy. Hopefully you've managed to borrow a guitar from someone up there - Marc Bolan or Hendrix must have a spare one lying around - and that you're finally finding more time to practice!

I never did get the chance to show you around the music spots of America, but I carry your memory with me wherever I go. There's not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind; recording songs without you just isn't the same.

I'll leave you with a few words from Bob Dylan that says it all:

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay forever young

Take care, Buddy.
