This space was set up to keep everyone informed about memorial services for our dear friend, Steve Wolkoff, and to provide updates on Cindy’s recovery. We hope it can also be a place where friends and family can share memories and photos, and send well wishes to Cindy, the Wolkoff family, and the many friends who were fortunate enough to know Steve.
If you would like to post photos or thoughts please email Myryah at myryahs AT hotmail.com. I would be happy to add you as a contributor, share my login information, or post for you.
I live in Portola Valley and work in Palo Alto, both a very short distance from Stanford Hospital. P.l.e.a.s.e. let Cindy’s family know that I would be honored to pick up, deliver, anything or anyone. I offer my home and my cooking, peace and quiet.

Steve will be missed incredibly. I have fond memories of Steve with of coarse Cindy included. I met Cidny and Steve 6 years ago and fell in love with them both instantly. Memories such as the black out in NYC, long drives to Jones beach, my 25th birthday and just hanging out with the two just relaxing.They are both very important to me and an inspiration to me. They have a love for each other that I cant even describe. I always said that they are the ultimate perfect couple that has this geniune love that everyone wish they had with their partners. I will always hold Steve close to my heart. He was the best guy. He was full of life and so loving. I will miss him so much and I will always remember the good times we all had together. I loved his sarcastic funny comments, that perfect grin, his passion, love for life, energy, how respectful he was and most of all how he was such a genuine good guy. One of those guys you want in your life forever. We all need to be there for Cin. I know she will get thru this. She is one of the strongest people I know. When you read this Cin just know that I am here for you and I love you. We will see each other soon. I am coming to SF soon to be with you. I love you Steve & Cindy!

I went to High School with Steve in NY and although I have not spoken with Steve in years I was extremely saddened when I heard about the accident. I will always only have happy memories of Steve. Please pass along my condolences to his friends in San Fran, his family in NY and of course Cindy. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Guys-
I am not sure if people know that this Tuesday, September 23 is Steven’s 31st birthday. We will all miss celebrating with him, seeing him, and being with him. Our Family is thinking about his birthday with much sadness and disbelief that Steven is gone forever.
Every year, I always called him up on his birthday and sang ( I cannot even remotely sing) way off key the Happy Birthday song to him. He would cringe, and then lovingly say “Thanks Dad”. We would talk a little and then I would say “I love you”, he would say, “I love you too dad”, and then I would do my famous “what”?, and he would say again “I love you too Dad”.
I don’t know what else to say, it is so painful and sad to ponder his birthday. Sandy, Jessica, Matthew, myself, Cindy and all of you are struggling to go on with our lives without Steven, yet we are unable to make any sense of what has happened. Yet here it is his birthday, what do we say and do?
We all welcome any thoughts or feelings from any of you to be posted here for what you want to share about what his upcoming birthday means to you. It is obviously a very difficult thing to put to words and I understand if you don’t know what to say-
REST IN PEACE MY SON STEVEN WOLKOFF-I AM SO SORRY- I LOVE YOU-DAD

Dirge Without Music
By Edna St. Vincent Millay
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.
Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains — but the best is lost.
The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love, They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
