Stephan Doyle

Bree James

How can it be that a year has past since your last birthday? A year without you; a year during which you were deeply missed. A year during which I thought of you and missed you every day. My life goes on. I discovered I can live without you - because you are within me, around me and always in my heart. It isn't easy. Some days it seems unbearable, but then another day comes and I find I am laughing at some memory of you that reminded me of the joy and silliness and deep love for others that shone directly out of you onto anyone in your presence. My love and empathy go out to all of you missing Stephan today, especially his family, Neil, Lori, Pat and Alex. I love you all a lot and miss you very much. The good thing is that I feel all of you with me today, no matter where you are. And I certainly hope that Stephan, Bill and Haili are having a
hopping great party on a sunny beach in heaven.
