Sandy, John and family, There are no words that could possibly make this easier for you. I hope that in time you will find peace and comfort in knowing that he is no longer suffering. I'm sure he is happy being with Uncle Stanley and Aunt Lucy and surrounded by their love. Our deepest sympathy from Aunt Theresa Hoffman and family.

Jesus Christ - the answer!

To the Flanagan Family: Please accept the condolences and comfort I intend through my following prayer for your family as you celebrate the life of Sean this week: "Almighty God, Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for the soul of Sean and Your love shone through his soul during his brief earthly sojourn. I ask that You would touch the souls of his community and family with salvation and comfort through the ministry of Your Son Jesus Christ and anoint their souls with strength through the ministry of Your Holy Spirit as they continue their earthly sojourns without the presence of Sean. It is in the name of Jesus Christ I pray these things for the Flanagan family. Amen
