Our family has truly been touched by the people who have reached out to us over the past few days, it shows how loved we are and how loved of a person Steve was. He was not one to look for pity on himself from others, and he stayed this way until his fight was over. He also felt a tremendous amount of pain for the children around the world that are suffering from the same disease he was and believed that these children shouldn't have to deal with what they are going through, knowing personally how it felt. His wish was that he be remembered for the man he was throughout his life as a son, a brother, a friend, a husband, and a father. Please remember him as he was in your memories and not how he was from his illness. So please if you feel the need to send our family flowers or anything we wish that instead, you consider donating that money to the foundation in his memory.
Your generous donation and loving thoughts are a light of hope to St. Jude children and their families. St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
It costs a lot for St. Jude to cure a child with cancer using the latest technologies and care. But because of donations, the price for patient families is $0. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for anything.
Many families come to St. Jude thinking it's like any other hospital. They expect to pay high fees to get their child the best care. They're overwhelmed with gratitude when they learn St. Jude works to save their child's life for free using world-class care.
Your donations make this possible and give parents hope.
