Steven was born and raised in Cherokee County, Georgia. He was a sophomore in high school, when he was killed in an automobile accident. Our lives forever changed on that February day.

He was a loving and caring son, brother/brother-in-law, grandson, nephew, cousin, & friend. Also, now he is a proud uncle in heaven. On July the 7th, of this year I gave birth to my son, who I named after my brother Steven.

Steven, you will be forever missed in our lives, even though we know you live in our hearts. We love you and will never forget you. Till we meet again.

I write this on the behalf of my father and mother, Marvin and Lois Shipman, Jason my husband, my brother Thomas, my sister Kelli, my son Steven Bailey and I.

I love you always, Amanda
