					<description>Steven, you are such a gem.  Thanks for letting us in on some of the most important parts of your life.  It helps me to live mine with more--what's the word?--exactness.  Openess?  Willingness?  I don't know what can really fit without it going flat or, as you said, sounding cliche.  But it IS real, and I very much appreciate that.  Thanks!

					<description>Steven: It is very apparent that you are extremely comfortable in your own &#34;skin&#34;. You have the ability to show your strength and weakness all at the same time. We can all take a lesson from you. Thanks for sharing, and helping us.

					<description>Hey to you again, Steve!  Wow!  It sounds like this season of your life has brought you into a greater depth and appreciation of this fragile place called earth.  Indeed, change is inevitable and we each must learn to live in the moments of our day.  We need to cherish them and to find the oppportunities that God presents and embrace them fully.  May you continue to unfold to receive the Lord's purpose for your life there in Bishop.  Continue to be Blessed and know that you are actually a pretty important part of our lives, too....!  Lisa

					<description>Steven, Your words were very touching. Life is short, and fragile. When we can lift our spirit,  it lights  all parts of our life. Friendship is a very special thing in this life. I have been blessed. S.L.

					<description>Hi Steven -- Thank you for your willingness to be so open and vulnerable in looking at the world; for sharing with us your heartfelt words and images in such vivid detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Life is indeed precious; every moment to be treasured, savored and appreciated.  Sometimes the darkness appears to make us appreciate the light even more.  And indeed, another day is dawning for you now.  New life and expansive horizons.  Even in such times of loss and grief, you have been given a marvelous gift -- a chance to seek and receive forgiveness.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May you continue to find peace and joy in the beauty of the Sierra.  You are really loved and appreciated!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

					<description>As everyone else has said, thanks for sharing this with us.  I'm sure Tammy is looking down at you right now and just smiling.  Life is strange and it seems that sometimes things do happen for a reason.  All of us have had good and bad times but it's so nice to be able to share them with everyone and again, we thank you for that.  Enjoy each day as it comes..... ;)

					<description>I can so relate to your wonderful words of wisdom.  My hubby turned 70 last fall and we planned a surprise Bar B Q for him.  The main surprise was to have been his older sis (age 75)that he had been on the outs with since 1982.  She couldn't make it but called 2 days before and they both had a wonderful phone reunion.  Neither could remember exactly what angered them in the first place.  They're both stubborn but it only took our kids inviting her to break the ice.  He was very surprised and happy when she called -- they both had a crying good time. The surprise BBQ went well, too.  He had no idea anything was planned and saw many others from times past!&lt;br /&gt;
He and his sis talk on the phone a couple times a week and&lt;br /&gt;
I'm happy to say that it isn't over yet--she'll be here from Ohio for 2 weeks in June Some of our kids will meet an aunt they'd only seen in pictures! You're right when you say life is fragile--and Life is Good!&lt;br /&gt;
I've laughed with you and cried with you and Tammy.  Thanks for sharing your life, photos and writings. Thanks, too for an opportunity for me to tell about one of our life's wonderful warm times.
