Was Shawn "Pismo"? I babysat for Kelsey, and her little brother, Pismo , a hundred years ago but I don't know if this is the same family. Please let me know. Nonetheless, as a mother of four young children, my prayers and thoughts are with you on your unimaginable loss. Kind regards, Judy Mitchell Heffernan

Dave I am so sorry to hear of your loss! I haven't seen you for many years and remember your very small children. But having my own children close to your own childrens ages, I know this has to be devastating to you and Trish and his sister. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
