4. The Native American people believe that “there is no death! Just a continuation of Spirit! A changing of worlds!” They also believe
   that the eagle is the only creature to have touched the face of the creator!! May the eagle carry Stephen along his journey to the spirit world! May his warmth be felt in the sun, may his breath be felt in the wind!
   Fly high and proud Stephen

5. Stephen, it was my greatest pleasure to have known you. Once again, I truly wish I had known you long before our paths had crossed. You always greeted me with a firm handshake and a smile, and when things appeared to be difficult, we worked through them.
   Rest easy my friend.

7. I would like to acknowledge the love, care and support shown to Steve and myself, especially in his final hours, by the truly amazing and committed Staff of Audrey Prider Centre in Lyndoch.

8. Our dreams shattered by the most sinister of attacks on this beautiful, quirky, generous man.
   An amazing life stolen too soon.
   A hole in my heart and soul, never to heal.
