Shane Tyler Greene

I was visiting my 89 year old mother in SD when I read your wonderful celebration of Shanes life. Your tribute is a reminder to us all that life is also about the memories we leave behind. Thank you Mom Bret and Tyler and thank you Shane.

This is written very well and of course I cried…still crying. Reading the story about Shane was something very different than usual and I liked hearing about a day in the life of Shane Tyler Greene. I hope you are doing okay today. I want you to know that I am thinking about you.

Michelle, when I read the wonderful tribute article you put in the paper about Shane, it brought back memories of ten years ago. It is an incident that will never go away from any of us.I hope you continue to treasure those wonderful memories and enjoy the new ones being made by Brett and Tyler. God Bless you now and always.

Shane used to follow me around at Grandma's house in Vista. He was always dressed up and ready to reenact some great battle. I still get all choked up when I think about him. I know you miss him more than all of us put together. I need to remember his great zest for life, especially when I am so stressed out with school and stuff. Just to live, and love the people around you, is soooo sweet! I love you guys so much, I wish I was there more often. Kiss the boys for me!

Shane you were quite the guy. Full of fun and full of life and a great person to have "guarding the fort"(as they say here in Cowboy Country). We think of you often and miss you. Love the O'Briens in your Stampede City.

As I write the tears are flowing down my face. I'd like to say the pain is less over time but it would be a lie, it feels as if it where yesterday in my heart. Shane 's sweetness and gentile spirit is so missed by all of us. The only comfort is in knowing he is with God and that someday we will be together again. I know that grandma Jessie is playing with him and that he's getting lots of hugs and kisses. Shane I miss you and love you so much sweet boy. XOXOXO Auntie Andrea

Thank you for sending that beatiful tribute to Shane, it is so important to be reminded. Even after ten years his story brings tears to my eyes and a smile on my face.
