Our prayers are with you and the family. I'm sure that Shawn is with you. Watch for his signs. The lights may flicker the phone may ring on its own. I know that he is looking down on you from heaven. There is not a day that will go by when he is not with you. He is not alone and he won't have to feel pain or hurt ever again. God Bless You and your family. I am sure that Shawn and Kenna are playing right now and having so much fun. There souls are filled with light. One day we will all be together. God Bless. Lots of love from Donald and Melissa Crawford

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I am so sorry for your loss. My daughter, Hannah, sat next to Shawn in class and spoke of him often. She told me how he would laugh at her funny faces she would make and how he always talked to her and giggled with her. She also enjoyed playing soccer in gym class with him. I just want you to know that he will be dearly missed by Hannah and that he helped brighten her school days.

Words cannot express the pain and sorrow I feel for what you all are going through. I truly believe that Shawn is in heaven surrounded by angels and will now be watching over you. He is just a thought away. May God give you the strength to endure this nightmare and the peace of mind to know Shawn is without pain and suffering now.

I was so shocked and broken-hearted to hear such sad news. Shawn was in my daughter Julia's class, and I am glad that I had a chance to spend a day in their classroom for a chance to get to know Shawn! He was such a sweet boy. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Scott,Tammy,Scotty and Amanda,
It is with a heavy heart that I offer my sincere condolences to you and your extended family. Shawn's energy reminded me so much of Mike at that age. I so enjoyed seeing him at the rinks support his brother, with hockey stick in hand. His sweet face will be missed by all from WYH.
