Comment on Steve’s Foundation by Francine Ross Berger

Dear Sandy, our moms had lost touch and I had no idea until reading Sunday’s Newsday that Steven had been killed by a drunk driver. There are no words to express how sorry we all are, and how stunned we were to read the story in the paper. You were very brave to have written that article. I remember when he was born, it seems like only yesterday, and how proud your parents were. I know your dad passed away, as did mine five short years ago. We live in Roslyn and I would enjoy seeing you again. Please contact me on my email at franrossb@aol.com. I work from home so I can be here to take care of my even more precious kids, 14 and 10. Again, we were all so sorry but hope his memories help you get through each day. All our love, Francine and family

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.

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
