My Dearest Shawn...I loved you then I love you now and I will love you forever! The last year and a half we spent together were the hardest and yet the most special! I am so honored that I was the one to spend that time with you and to hold your hand and walk you home! You touched my heart and soul the first time we met and the day we had to say see ya later! Never goodbye! I will do my best to honor all of your wishes for the rest of my days! I miss you so much! You are always in my thoughts and prayers! I know that you finally found the peace you were always searching for!
Always, your stir!

Uncle Shawn,
wow so much has happened over the years, Ive grown up so much, I went to my JR prom, that was fun. My 18th birthdays coming up, I wish you could be there....wait you will be there watching over me and everyone else thats around, So I know you'll be there even if I cant see you.I wish you didnt have to go like this theres still so much for you to see, and so many family times you have to be here for, so even though you'll be watching over us it would be nice to have you around, to hug, to talk to, and to say goodnight Ill see you later. I love and miss you with all my heart.
