Sean, I met you only 3 times, the first in April this year with our Bible Study group and then two more precious times. Today, I was privileged to be part of your final send-off, as they say Down Under. What a special legacy you have left, how much love and amazing stories! Thank you for allowing me in you and your families' lives for those last few weeks. See you in Heaven mate.

I never got to meet Sean, but his brother Mike is my new Son-in Law. I send prayers for the family and little "Jack" and Wendy. Time heals but we never forget, The Collins family is awesome in faith, strength and courage. You are missed, Sean.

I will always remember Sean's vitality and zest for life. He can now use those special attributes to serve his Lord in heaven. He has been "blessed coming in and blessed going out."
