Monday evening (in July 2006) our family was on our way to Draper to visit, when Mare called and said she had to take Steve to the emergency room because of his high fever and because his pain was out of control. We decided to turn around and go to the hospital, not expecting to see Steve, maybe just Mary Ann. We had the nicest visit with his parents and Rich and Becky. Right when we were leaving Mare invited us in to see him. He was in incredible pain. We felt so helpless. But even though he was suffering so much he still managed to tickle Brookie's nose and give her some special hospital stickers. This was so touching. She cherished those stickers that he gave her and put them in her special treasure box and showed them to all of her friends. This was such a simple yet sweet gesture. I am so humbled by his attitude and numerous Christlike acts.
Memory of Annette Bell (family friend).
