operater in a huge factory in wallasey. stephen has a daughter called niomi she is now 13. stephen
was always well groomed he had such a lot of pride. he was 6ft tall with very dark hair and vivid
blue eyes. stephen loved to jogg and liked fishing. his music was fleetwood mac ,the doors,the
beatles he loved his amstrad computor and that was stephen easy pleased his computor and his music
and that was that.stephen loved his family we were his life along with niomi his true love he adored
her he was a very good dad. stephen wore his big soft heart on his sleeve. he was so kind and
careing he loved me so much and often told me so. he would do anythink for me nothink was to much
for him to do. we called stephen our protector.coz thats wot he was. i adored him THE TRUE MAN.


stephen lived with his partner shelly niomi mum. but after 6 years shelly ended it all. stephen was
devastated. he loved her but shelly did love stephen it had just gone sour.

stephen came back home and stayed there for 2 years untill he got his flat, he never recovered from
looseing shelly. and would drift in and out of depression. but he started to try and rebuild his
life he always saw his daughter each week end.

stephen was a very private person and a bit shy really wiyh old fashioned morals. he had that
valuable thing called respect. god how i loved him. he met a woman who had befriended him called
elizebeth she was just that a friend coz stephen wasnt ready for any relationship. but he was glad
for her company.

elizebeth started to act a bit obbsesive and stephen told her not to call to his flat anymore. 6
months later she knocked out of the blue stephen had been in all night with his friends haveing a
drink. elizebeth waited for his friends to go and while stephen was asleep on the sofa she killed
him and got rid of all the evidence and left him dyeing. she called the police and by the time they
arrived stephen was dead.


elizebeth found she pleaded guilty of manslaughter and under diminished responsability was given 3
years we were devastated. we were a broken team our world had been torn apart. my other children
were destroyed.

chantel found it particulary hard to cope with. i was lost and felt i had lost my whole world. 3
years for the life of a man so wonderfull so big so strong so beutifull in soul. my 2 sons were
never the same again none of us are and never will be. stephen was a son i was proud to call mine he
loved us we always came first. i am and always will be lost and god how i ache for his hug and kiss
he would give me every time he said good bye. god bless his loverly soul.

God called your name so gently,
That only you could hear.
No one heard the footsteps,
Of angels drawing near.

Softly from the shadows
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.

God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of 'little things'
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think he knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting. ..true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With CHERISHED GTS FRIENDS....like you.

SAND AND STONE

SAND AND STONE

TWO FRIENDS WERE WALKING
THROUGH THE DESERT

DURING SOME POINT OF THE
JOURNEY, THEY HAD AN
ARGUMENT; AND ONE FRIEND
SLAPPED THE OTHER ONE
IN THE FACE

THE ONE WHO GOT SLAPPED
WAS HURT, BUT WITHOUT
SAYING ANYTHING,
WROTE IN THE SAND

'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE'

THEY KEPT ON WALKING,
UNTIL THEY FOUND AN OASIS,
WHERE THEY DECIDED
TO TAKE A BATH

THE ONE WHO HAD BEEN
SLAPPED GOT STUCK IN THE
MIRE! AND STARTED DROWNING,
BUT THE FRIEND SAVED HIM.


AFTER HE RECOVERED FROM
THE NEAR DROWNING,
HE WROTE ON A STONE:

'TODAY MY BEST FRIEND
SAVED MY LIFE'

THE FRIEND WHO HAD SLAPPED
AND SAVED HIS BEST FRIEND
ASKED HIM, 'AFTER I HURT YOU,
YOU WROTE IN THE SAND AND NOW,
YOU WRITE ON A STONE, WHY?'

THE FRIEND REPLIED
'WHEN SOMEONE HURTS US
WE SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN
IN SAND, WHERE WINDS OF
FORGIVENESS CAN ERASE IT AWAY.


BUT, WHEN SOMEONE DOES
SOMETHING GOOD FOR US,
WE MUST ENGRAVE IT IN STONE
WHERE NO WIND
CAN EVER ERASE IT'

LEARN TO WRITE
YOUR HURTS IN
THE SAND AND TO
CARVE YOUR
BENEFITS IN STONE.


THEY SAY IT TAKES A
MINUTE TO FIND A SPECIAL PERSON,
AN HOUR TO APPRECIATE THEM,
A DAY TO LOVE THEM,
BUT THEN
AN ENTIRE LIFE
TO FORGET THEM.


SEND THIS TO
THE PEOPLE YOU'LL NEVER
FORGET.


I JUST DID.


TAKE THE TIME TO LIVE!

DO NOT VALUE THE THINGS
YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, BUT VALUE
WHO YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE!

AND IF I HAPPEN TO GET IT BACK,
THEN I KNOW MY PLACE IN YOUR LIFE

Luv to Stephens Family xxx

Im writing this from heaven,where i dwell with god above
Where there's no more tears or sadness,there's just eternal love
Please dont be unhappy because i am out of sight
Remember that i am with you every morning,noon and night
And i will stay beside you,every day,week and year
And when you're sad i'll still be there to wipe away your tears
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember we wouldn't have flowers unless we first had rain
I wish that i could tell you all that god has planned
But even if i was able to,you wouldn't understand
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it is only me with a loving and soft embrace.

Within this little bottle
Placed with loving care,
Is special angel dust
My Guardian placed there.
It is to share with special friends
When they're down or feeling blue,
To lift their heart and share a smile
As special friends should do.
