We still miss you...Forever in our hearts!

Steven (His last school picture taken)

Thanks for the picture frame, Uncle Bob!

Welcome to the late Robert Steven Farley homepage.


**********************************

IN MEMORY

of the children everywhere that no longer fill the desks in classrooms across all countries because of violence in our schools, homes, and streets.


IN HONOR

of your willingness to seek and provide protection for all children everywhere.


IN HOPE

that our children's children are not afraid to go to school, or to play with a neighbor, or to simply be at home.


Becky Flen, 1996

Dedicated to my nephew, Robert Steven Farley, who died as a result of a violent crime after being kidnapped from Roswell High School in Roswell, New Mexico on
September 27, 1991
at the age of 17.
We think of you often...in each rose, every rainbow in the sky, rhinestone cowboy songs, Pop-pi's 'crucks', red-poka-dotted baseball caps, every 'How's that, Bicky?', "Winnie-the-Pooh went up the sky" song while splashing in the tub, yellow feathers nearby.....

Protect the Children

Many thanks to Strawberry at
"The Strawberry Patch" for creating Steven's ribbon!

The Little Green Ribbon

(Story coming soon!)

Please wear a simple green ribbon pinned over your heart in memory of murdered children everywhere.

"STEVEN"


A bad, bad guy walked into school one day,
He said he'd come to take Steven away,
"There was some trouble last night, with Steven at the mall..."
"Want to ask him some questions," he said, "That's all."

"I'm innocent!" Steve said to authorities there,
But no one listened; did no one care?
No I.D. was asked for; he'd stated his name!
A badge could be shown--- if "they" did insist,
for indeed a phony one did exist.

A phone call could have asked, "Does John Fuller work there?"
Then we'd not be mourning 'cause Steven's not here.
"If you've done nothing wrong, you've nothing to fear",
Steve heard him say.

So, with handcuffs in place, he was led away.
There was no struggle, no resistance, so they say,
Why? -Steven respected authority that says, "It's okay".
They picked up the devil on a flight out of town
And the monster that took him held Steven down.

But Jesus came quickly and bore Steve away,
For the ether in his face, they did spray.
The wounds then inflicted were made on the "shell"
But they stoked up the fires in the furnace of hell.

Now, Steven's death is not in vain,
For Heaven touched many the day he was slain.
The cost will be heavy for their deeds that day,
For crimes they committed, the price they will pay.

Steven's smile made him special with a soft, magic touch...
Oh, Steven, we love you and miss you so much!
Dear God in Heaven, let justice be done!
We pray this especially for Steve, our GRANDSON!

I saw a rainbow in a cloud
and knew that you would be so proud.

For in that cloud
I saw your smile

And my heart

Quit hurting...

...for a while.

Someone asked me about you today. It's been so long since onyone has done that. It felt so good to talk about you. To share my memories of you. To simply say your name out loud. She asked me if I minded talking about what happened to you. I told her I think of it every day and speaking about it helps me to release The tormented thoughts whirling around in my head. She said she never realized the pain would last this long. She apologized for not asking sooner. I told her, "Thanks for asking". I don't know if it was curiosity or concern that made her ask.. But told her "Please do it again sometime.........soon".
