Today we had services for Steve. So many special people were there. The service was wonderful. Steve and I had several discussions and he wanted me to convey the following:

I want my family and friends know I love them. Please forgive me for the times I may have hurt you. I have no hard feelings about anything and if you feel you have hurt me, all is forgiven. I do not fear death. It is not the end, it is a new beginning. 
I hope all my family members will make peace and work to strengthen  relationships. Forget any rifts, fights, disagreements, disappointments, or grudges. Work to heal. We all love each other. 
Please remember and think about who I was and what I was like before I got sick. I know that may be difficult seeing that it seemed there was “always something”. 
I am in a better place, free of pain and fear. I am a child of God. Thank you for being a part of my life. I love you all!
