Kevin, I'm sorry for your loss. It's the ones who are left behind that deal with the pain. Shawn is in wonderful place now. Remember that and the loss might not be so painful. I will be seeing you soon. Linda

To all of the Gents and Conway families, very sorry to hear of your loss. I'm very sure that God took the time to walk the long driveway to meet Shawn Patrick at the gate....

Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of a gentle young man, with a great personality and spirit.
Do not stand at my grave and weep:
I am not there. I do not sleep.
Iam a thousand winds that blow:
Iam the diamond glints on snow:
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
Iam the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
Iam the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
Iam the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
Iam not there; I did not die.
In our thoughts and prayers
Doug and Laurie Lebel
