" Dear Mr. and Mrs. Standish and Brother David,
I cannot express the shock and sadness I feel about Steve's passing. I knew Steve because I was on his bowling team, with Lynn and her brother Mike.
Steve was a awesome person. He exuded a perfect blend of a good "poker face" and a patient heart of gold. I spent many times with him , at bowling and several times, we would just hang out together.
I cared deeply for him. I lost touch with Steve when I had to quit bowling, mid season, to take care of my mother who was dying of cancer, but I still would run into to Steve and we would talk like I had just seen him yesterday.
I know , from losing my mom that you will go through many stages of grief. Although this is one of the most difficult times of your life, try to remember he is still sitting right beside you, loving you and guiding you. Whether you believe or not ,you will see signs from him and he will make you a believer. Take comfort in these signs and in your memories of Steve.
I know if ANYONE would be deemed a guardian angel, it would be Steve.
I will never ever forget him.
He and your family will reside in my prayers.
With great sadness, Lara Hood" - Lara Hood - Posted: Thursday, November 12, 2009

"Steve was so much fun to play cards with, and such a gentle nature, never getting too angry at bad beats or bad characters, one day he said "I'm hungry, I'm going to run home and make myself a sandwhich, hold my seat, I'll be right back." I said jokingly "yah, me too Steve!" He can back a short time later with a whole tray of delicious sandwhiches for the entire table, I was impressed and grateful. He was just that kind of guy. He will surely be missed. It was a priviledge to have know him. So sorry for your loss, best wishes and fond memories." - Don & Nancy Schmitt - Posted: Tuesday, November 10, 2009

"The Standish family. I had the pleasure of meeting Stevie though playing poker with him & Ernie. Anytime Stevie was not at an event, folks would always ask for him. The only bad words I have ever heard about him is that he had taken someones chips away from them again. I will miss his smile and his handshake when he beat you or you beat him. Maybe someday I will be in a poker game again with him." - Joe Kelly - Posted: Sunday, November 8, 2009

"Dear Mr.& Mrs. Standish
The death of your son, Steven, was a big shock to me. It seems unfair that God would take him away so soon. I want you to know that my thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Steven was always full of life and he would always be there for his friends and family. It's just seems unreal to think that he's gone. I'll always cherish our childhood days together.
I want you to know that I'm here for you and your family. God does not test people who do not have the courage to pass the test. It is important to stay srong and keep the faith .
Sincerely,
Kimberly J.Ferguson

"Janet & family:
We use to work together at Oakville Elementary School back in the 60's. I am so sorry for your loss. It's just not the natural order for a child to die before his parents. I just cannot imagine what you are going through. My prayers are with the Standish/Evans family. May God bless each of you.
I no longer live in St. Mary's County therefore I cannot offer you my condolences in person.
Love, Doris & Skip Jones" - Doris Jones - Posted: Friday, November 6, 2009

"I can only imagine how heavy the burden of pain is within your hearts. And I am guessing (as I imagine myself in your place) that Steve's passing may cause you to question your faith but now is the time you must hold onto your faith sternly. Know God's word, believe the scripture, and trust this is God's will. As you try to find a way to ease the loss you feel, also try to rejoice for Steve. He is with God. He has been given the ultimate gift of eternal life. Steve may even be chosen to be a guardian angel to watch over and guide you and others he loved so dearly. There will be signs, watch for them, find peace in them. I am praying for you and your family. You have my number; call me anytime for any reason. God Bless!" - Sandi Quade - Posted: Friday, November 6, 2009
