Not sure what to say?

Gone but never forgotten old friend. Sleep well, you smile of a human being. I have raised my boy with many of the traits you exemplified in life. He is a great kid. I only wish he could´ve met your kids. Hope your fiends and family have made peace over the years.

I did not know Shane personally, but I know many of his friends. I am so sorry for your loss. He seems like he was such a wonderful and kind person.

Erin, I know I don't know you, but I have cried for your loss and this story really hits home to me, because I know how it feels to have something wonderful ripped away from you like this. I'm SO sorry you lost your love. My thoughts are with you. xo.

Even though I met Shane only once, no words can express the sorrow we are feeling every day for this loss to your family and everyone he has touched along the way. I cannot fathom how this will effect all of you in the days to come. We truly want the Stokowski family to know that our prayers are with all of you during this difficult time, and know this, we will all see him again one day and embrace him in Heaven. May God give you strength and be with you all.

I am so very sorry - I worked with Shane up to 2009, and loved being part of his world.

Erin, we are so sorry for the loss of your fiance.

Dear Jeff & Chris,

I remember sitting with you and Shane at Kelly's funeral and seeing the compassion he had for my sister and her family.

When the life of yet another splendid young man is lost, it hits very close to home even though we've lived here for over ten years.

On behalf of my wife Lenn, and children Lea, Daphne, Lucas and Kyle we are truly sorry for your loss.

Maybe once in a lifetime, you get to meet someone like Shane.
Someone willing to give all he has for love.
While I grieve the loss of a friend, and my deepest condolences are with Erin and the Stokowski family,
I am honored to have known a man like him.
From an early age, children are taught right and wrong from their parents. Shane's life and death are both resounding examples of what it means to be a good man and a testimony to the quality of the Stokowski family....

chris and jeff sooo sorry about this he looks like the needhams love and prayers Sheila Kenny eccles

I did not know your son. My daughter told me the story yesterday and my heart breaks for all of you. Shane died doing what was right. I hope that gives your family some comfort. I'm sure he was a wonderful young man. Deepest condolences.
