Bredice; siblings, Kim Castelli of Conn., Wendy Virgadaula of Conn., Jason Bredice of Calif., Michael Bredice of Albany, Lisa Bredice of Albany, Melissa Bredice of N.C. and Harmony Bredice of Albany; aunts and uncles, Allan and Patricia Bredice, Cindy and Paul Latino, Kathleen and Michael McCamy, and Thomas Lynch; also by a nephew, several nieces, cousins and special friends. The family will receive relatives and friends on Monday, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Community Reformed Church of Colonie, 701 Sand Creek Road, Albany, NY 12205.

Mr and Mrs Bredice, I am so sorry for your loss. My son Jon skated with Shawn at the Shelter and on the street. I can't imagine the pain you are feeling and I am so sorry for your loss. This picture is the same way I saw Shawn every single day I saw him. He had a smile you could see a mile away. Skate with the angels lil man!

When I go rolling on my skateboard,
I feel the wind blow on my face.
My body glides along in freedom,
And then my foot keeps up the pace.

I must lean just right to make the curve,
Then get my balance back on track.
I look for the chance to do a trick,
I start the move....no turning back.

I catch the air and do a kick-flip,
The board goes round and meets my feet.
I get anxious as I start a trick,
But glad its ended safe and neat.

My board becomes part of my body,
I cannot be whole without it.
What if it breaks and leaves me stranded?
How can I get there? ........I'll just sit! !
