Dear Shawn, I will miss you and I will remember all the times we would go driving in my cutlass after class listening to Bobby Brown. You always wore those turtlenecks and button down shirts. I miss all the lunches at Middleton High with you and all the crew. You were a good friend and Thank you for your friendship. I know that God is with you and your family now. There must be a reason he called you home so early. Love and light to you, your wife, children and family. God bless and keep you all. Sincerely, Monica
