August 13th 2005 - March 5th 2007
569 days, 7 hours and 31 mintues!
Baby Steven (Peanut)came to us two months early on August 13th 2005. Those two months were a gift
from Steven. They were two extra months we were able to hug and love our little man. Steven was a
fighter right frm the start. He only spent 2 weeks in the NICU, not 4-8 weeks like the doctors told
us at first.
On May 2nd 2006 Steven was diagnosed with Krabbes Disease and by that time he was already blind and
losing most of his abilities, like sitting and holding his head up. Over the next 8 months, Steven
regressed to a newborn infant. He stopped growing and was medicated for seizures. He had feeding
issues as well. Peanut became our 2 foot 2, toothless man, with long blonde curls.
Beloved son, grandson, great-grandson and nephew went to be with the Lord where he can now run, play
and see all things that are beautiful on Monday, March 5, 2007. Age 18 months. Steven Lee Markel
was born August 13, 2005 in Saginaw to Ryan and Tarah (Lapine) Markel. He loved cuddles, dutch
apple desert and he also loved being sung to by his Grandma Jeanne and his cousin, Hunter.
Surviving besides his parents are his grandparents, Steve and Jeanne Lapine (Saginaw, MI) and Donna
Webb (Crestview, FL); great-grandparents, Dick and Sharon Johnson, Jeanette and Milo Landeryou and
Patricia Lapine; his aunts and uncles, Troy and Kelly Lapine, Dianna Merritt and Dawn Markel, Gunny
and Boop, Chelsea Webb and Joseph Braiden; cousins, Hunter and Gwen Lapine, Coty Markel, Hannah
Fredricks and Baby Gauge; many great-aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his grandfather,
Steven Lee Markel (California) and great-grandfather, Albert Phillip Lapine. “Peanut” will be
deeply missed by all those whose hearts he touched.

The way I am
Dear baby Steven...I've known your mother from a very early age. We have shared a ton of secrets over the past years. We lost contact for a few years and I found her again on Myspace. She had wonderful pictures of you in the best slide show programed to a song that I'll never forget from Ingrid Michaelson. The name of the song was 'They way I am'. In the lyrics to that song I heard the love your parents had for you. They will never stop loving you. Anyone who saw it knew, knew that they loved you for the way you were. I wish that I had a chance for you to touch my life. My sister in law is in heaven. Her name is Toni Steinke she passed away when her baby was about your age. I'm sure she'd love to kiss you. I can't wait to meet your new bother or sister coming at the end of the year. God Bless baby Steven.
I love you Peanut!
I remember the first day I got to see baby Steven. I felt so special cause while I was holding he snuggled right into the crook of my neck. I never wanted to move or hand him back to his parents. But I did, but held on to his memory I have. A great deal this little guy meant to my son and I. We will always love you and feel comforted by your little wings. Your forever in our hearts!

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS THINKING OF YOU XX
T E A R S
.................... .
I’m sending with you a bottle,
That’s filled with tears of love.
To take with you to heaven,
To that wonderful place above.
Please take it to the angels,
That are in the room of tears,
They’ll pour them in my bottle,
Where there these words appear.
“Oh how I Love You,
I will miss you very much.
I asked the Lord for you a Kiss,
Gentle to the touch.
His arms wide open,
For a Hug to embrace.
You’ll hear Him say I Love You
And even see His face.
All these things I too will miss
And you will never really know.
This bottle filled with tears of love,
Not wanting to let you go.”
