was also a caregiver, "Race, creed, color, it doesn't matter to Steele.
Steele likes everybody." Indeed,
he was a very friendly little boy who loved nothing more than to help. He
was a very good boy.
Those of you who knew our son, Steele, know that he was a very good-natured little boy
who held malice for no one. In the words of one of Steele's friends who
was also a caregiver, "Race, creed, color, it doesn't matter to Steele.
Steele likes everybody." Indeed,
he was a very friendly little boy who loved nothing more than to help. He
was a very good boy.
The
LUPUS FOUNDATION AMERICA - WISCONSIN CHAPTER, which presented Steele the very first for shining a light on the commonly fatal disease Lupus to benefit those who suffer, has announced the date of the SEVENTH Annual Lupus Walk - Strides For Lupus a fund-raiser/awareness-raiser to raise money to combat Lupus. It will be held on FLAG DAY June 14, 2008. It's a great event- lots of friendly people- a great cause.. Steele's fulfilled wish was to go to Disney World where he and Dad rode Dumbo (with the blue hat) together three times.
In May Dave and Carole of WKLH 96.5 FM will be holding their annual MIRACLE MARATHON to benefit our community's children by helping the best children's hospital anywhere - CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF WISCONSIN.
The links which follow will connect you with stories that appeared in the largest newspaper in Wisconsin- The MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL. Because Steele suffered many maladies, among them the so-frequently deadly LUPUS and many symptoms, including a heart condition unknown in all medical history except for him, he was written about several times in that newspaper.
Marilynn Marchione wrote this big, front-page MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL story in 1998.
Here is Steele's obituary written by Mom and Dad.
Steele was mentioned in this story about people who died in 2000 (Scroll down to December 19th.)
