I was very sad to hear of Steven’s passing 🙁 I don’t the family personally, but I do know what it’s like to love someone with cystic fibrosis, my 19 yr old daughter has CF. My prayers are with his wife and children, as well as everyone affected by this loss ♡ May God wrap his loving arms around each and every one of you and hold you close and comfort you. God Bless, The Julie family ♡

Ashley, I hope and pray that the following poem written by my mother in the 70’s will give you some comfort. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
DEATH
Death is a warm blanket
That closes my eyes and puts me to sleep.
I do not fear death,
But welcome it as a long lost friend,
Lost since the time of my beginning.
Death only makes me sad
For those I leave behind.
My heart aches now for their hurting.
When I pass over to be with my Maker,
Worry, pain and sadness will forsake me,
And my soul will be at peace.
So do not unhappily mourn me,
Be glad for my release.
