Paula and Andy,
Oh my...I didn't know that the guest book was still available and for some reason I looked up Shawn. What you have done in maintaining this book took my breath away. I think of Shawn and his beautiful parents always. Someone left this for me when my dad past and it touched my heart so I passing it along to you...
If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
Shawn, stay close to your parents and give them strength. We love you and miss you much.

A year ago, we all were so blessed with so much joy, your reddish brown hair and blue eyes. The love beamed from your Mom and Dad. That is how I wish to remember today.

The loss of Shawn is devastating and unfair, and all of us who love you suffer for you. I wish there were something we could do to alleviate your pain, but I know that no words can do that. I just hope you know that Shawn will never be forgotten, and neither will your pain. The three of you remain in our hearts and thoughts every day, and I hope that you never forget we will always be here for you, in whatever way you need.

The last time Paula and I spoke she said you were continuing to maintain Shawns guest book so I thought I would take a peek. The pictures you have in here are so sweet of baby Shawn, I just adore them. There is not a day that goes by that you are not thought about in our house. As you know your friendship means the world to Dean and I and we are here for you always.

All our Love,

Happy Birthday Shawn
Not a day goes by that we do not think of you and today would have been four Months.....Aidan and you could have celebrated she is 8 months today, it would have been the only day in your lives that she was exactly double your age...She turned four months on June 21, and she was so excited that you decided to come and celebrate with her...then two precious months later she turned a half a year and it was the saddest day of her life and ours because we knew you had to go with God and none of us where ready to let you go. When she turns a year you would have been eights months old...and it will be a half year without you. I am so sad you never got the chance to play, the way your Mommy had planed. we love you and miss you so much The Kovach's

Beautiful boy, beautiful smile.

P & A, (A & P is a grocery chain),
I was looking at the clouds the other day (not while driving for a change) and am pretty sure I saw a cherubic little angel - thought of you and just wanted to pass that on. I also "saw" a Luck Dragon, but that probably has more to do with a particular student who is finding Chemistry "impossible! Love you and think about you often - many prayers and just a thought : look up.

LuAnn Docteur

I wish I could take all the pain away and this never happened to both of you. Shawn was given to you like Jada was given to me but for a short while which you should have had him longer than that.He is watching over you both like Jada is with us. You both keep strong and don't forget that you will always be his mommy and daddy and he will always love you. Love You Both, Michele
