My heartfelt condolences to your family. I was friends with Sean growing up in middle school. A real outgoing, freindly guy with a twinkling smile. I remember driving to Cranes Beach with his parents, his Dad driving a great, convertible Delta 88. Be as strong as you can and realize he will always be in your hearts.

We will miss Sean here at the Villas. My husband and I have lived here for over a year now and Sean was always so great to us, our child and our animals. We are saddened by your families' loss. He was truly a nice person, always smiling and always was so kind.

To the Callahan Family:
My deepest sympathy to each of you with the passing of Sean. He was so well liked here at the Villas and always had a "hi", a smile, or a wave for all. Remember that he ALWAYS talked of his family fondly to us and I was pleased to meet Shannon and spend time knitting with her. Sean will be greatly missed here at the Villas by the residents.

I am a tenant at the Villas and am writing to express my family's heart felt condolences. Sean had of way about him that was both funny and kind. My 10 year old son is mentally disabled, yet Sean never spoke to him any different nor did he ignore him and stare as many do. I will always remember him in that way and be grateful for his kindness. We will keep your family in our prayers. Marie, Ray and Tyler
