My dear Libby, I remember your telling me when Sean was first diagnosed. You were so brave and optimistic. Sean was so lucky to have such a dedicated mother. I was touched to read that he followed in your footsteps as a member of the Special Education Advisory Committee. He lead a wonderful life, in no small part due to all of your efforts for both him and all the other special needs children in Alexandria. May perpetual light shine upon him.

Here is Sean in the painting studio with one of his wonderful multi-paneled works
Sean will be remembered and mourned by the faculty and students of George Mason's School of Art, where he was a painting major. His quiet soulfulness, his unshakeable work ethic, and his deep humanity were felt and admired by all. He was a talented artist and an amazing human being. He will be sorely missed.

My deepest condolences are with you at this time of need. Know that god

much.

I was so saddened to hear of Sean's passing on to the Lord. It is comforting to know he is with the Lord and at peace with no pain or discomfort. Please know that you are all in my daily prayers and my every thought. I wish I could be there on Saturday, but I have my goddaughter's First Communion. You will certainly be in my prayers during that Liturgy. Love to all, Sharon

Sean was one of Christ's bright lights in the world giving joy to not only his family, but to all of his friends and those who knew him. Since he is now with the Lord and the Lord promises to always be with us, then Sean is still with all who love him in their hearts. Blessings to Libby, Dennis and family. Sincerely, Alicia Ballard
