Tina, John & Amanda, I cannot begin to express my deepest sympathy, it is so heartbreaking and hard to grasp. Stephen felt like part of our family and is intertwined with all of my memories of Kory's childhood. I cannot remember when they were not together - even when we moved out of state he was there for all the important events of Kory's life - He was a true friend, a genuinely kind, gentle soul - a rare treasure and free spirit. I will always be grateful and honored to have had the gift of knowing him and of that contagious smile and laugh. I will treasure all those memories in my heart always - "boy scouts, T-ball, fishing, cigars, eating lobster, sunglasses, vinyls, Grateful Dead" just to name a few. Will miss you Stephen this world is a little more empty without you. Love "Kory's mom"
