Well Steve its been quite some time since we visited you, but needless to say each of our Saturday visits to our girl remind us so much of you and your lovely Mum,the pictures of the garden dedicated to you are so lovely and show how much your Mum and the family miss you still. How we wish with all our hearts our friendship with your dear family had not been under such terrible circumstances..So we will pray for you Steve and we promise we will never forget such a kind and happy young man called Steve Tottie xxxxx Ian Marion You blessed us all with something we lack We will learn from you Steve and always look back God's Will has left us with a part of you That will grace each day with a morning dew To wake up to butterflies fluttering about And the knowledge that we are not without Your smile, your laughter, your love, your appeal This, my dear, must be God'sWill.

Sending you special thoughts today, my sweet sista Sue. Steve is watching over and oh, so proud of his dear Mum. I know you can feel his love surround you. Much love and many hugs from your sista Chelle. xxxxx

Sista Sue, this is a wonderful tribute to your very special son Steve. You must be one very proud Mum. Love Sista Ruth xx

STEVE YOU WERE AN AMAZING YOUNG LAD. HOPE TO MEET YOU IN HEAVEN ONE DAY. I LOVE YOUR MOM. SHE IS A PEACH AS WE CALL OUR SPECIAL FRIENDS IN GEORGIA.

Hello Steve here we are once more Cheryls Mum Dad, if only things were different and you were still here with your Mum Dad and family how lovely that would all be. But we must accept reality and so as we also approach similar times with our own precious girl Cheryl we will always give you a visit and remember all the things you were to your loving family. Rest in peace young man in the memory of how much you still mean to your Mum Dad and family...Ian Marion

Dear friend Steve we remember you so fondly as your Mum and the family have told us so much about your life and made you special to us. A year may have passed but nothing of your memory will ever pass without all of us thinking about you. We hope you find our dear Cheryl and as friends can see how much we all miss you both. Marion /Ian

to very brave young man,no more pain only peace and love.xxxxxxxxxxx

Sue, This is such a lovely tribute to Steve. He sounds like he was truly an angel and I am sure he is whole and happy and watching over you all. May God bless and heal you. Hugs, Michelle

Every picture of your precious Steve shows the happiness and love your family gave to such a special young man. His life was never easy but without the love and concern written in your Journal Steve knew how much he was loved and cherished by you all. No one but us few grieving parents can know how heartbreaking these Memorials can be. With special people like Steve and so many others we were priveliged to have been part of their ALL too short lives. Our thoughts and hearts go out to you Mum and Dad and Steves brothers. Cheryl's Mum Dad

hi sue its a lovely tribute ur son would be proud.love jules xxx

to live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die

what we have once enjoyed we can never lose all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to stephen Tottie. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
