Jill, Deven, and Erica. Sean always spoke s highly of each of you. I know he was extremely proud of the man Deven has become and the women Erica is growing into. I had the privilege of serving with him on the Bataan and he was a mentor more than he knew and certainly a friend that was taken to soon. God Bless you all.
