MISS YOU ANGEL BOY!!

March 21, 2016

This is my first time seeing this page and I spent hours looking through all the amazing things people had to say about you. Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind. I always catch myself looking at the clock at 1:43 and my heart stops for a minute because you come to mind and I know you're there with me. So much has happened over the years, and I hope that you are proud of me and who I've become. I wish you could be here and I miss you more than you know. Keep sending me signs. xoxo love you Shawnie.

What's up kid?! Been thinking about you a lot lately and it's hard going the cemetery now a days because there's so many young kids up there it take forever. Crazy sitting here read over these posts, and so cool that people are still posting, I had forgotten all about this. But I definitely haven't forgotten about you! I think about you all the time out fishing, asking you for some fish when it's slow, and thanking you for them when it's good. You're that person for me now and without a doubt I know you played a role for me getting my act together, so thanks man, I am finally happy. Just told the story about getting pulled over on the way home from the AJ race the other day and couldn't finish it without laughing. Miss you kid.

PS. Got my old lady to watch Smokey and The Bandit and she was digging it.

There isn't a day that doesn't go by that I'm not thinking "dude if Shawn was here...". Time has gone by fast , but that doesn't mean we have forgotten you. Your picture still stands proudly in my bedroom and I will never forget our good times and your laugh. I miss you man and love ya

January 16, 2012

So here it is 2012. Im on my iphone in my bed watching the bruins( who finally won the stanley cup) and i googled my name and it came up with this website. That i had wrote on here. I looked back and realised that the last time i wrote on here was almost six years ago. Well man sorry its been so long. The world has changed so much in the past ten years you wouldnt believe. Ill never forget that morning down at school. It is imprinted in my brain so deep its crazy. Almost eleven years. Wow. Ive had the same picture of you on my wall in diffrernt houses and different bedrooms for almost eleven years. all i can say is wow that was fast. I still miss ya and think about you everyday out on the boat. Every can of cope gets
Thrown off the side with one dip left in it for you and AJ. Religiously for almost fifteen years.
Miss ya, love ya

Shawn,
It has been too long since my last entry. Time just seems to fly by these days. There are some days though that all the feelings seem to rush back as if it were just yesterday that you passed. Today is one of those days for me.

It is hard to see the old crowd during the holidays and not have you around, but I know you are the reason that many of us have remained so close. My thoughts are with your family during the holidays season. I know your birthday is coming up too so happy birthday.

Your friend,

Brad

Happy Birthday Shawn...I hope you have a wonderful time.

I'm thinking about your family everyday.

December 16, 2004

Hey Shawn, I am sure that you already know this, but I while we weren't especially good friends, I still find myself thinking about you every day. You truly are missed by everyone who ever knew you, and even by people who never had the pleasure of knowing you but have suffered the same loss through the passings of every Scituate kid that has shared your fate. The town as a whole misses you all, and I know that you are all looking down on the rest of us and smiling. I only hope that there are no future plans to take any more of us up there with you, but there is comfort in knowing that if there are, there is a family of Scituate's best up there ready and waiting to take them in. Happy holidays and happy birthday Shawn, you are and will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.

Bethany

December 9, 2004

Shawn- Hey buddy, I was just thinking of you today and how much fun we had as kids together. Remember when we were like 6 and our parents went to Jamies on Fridays to eat, and me and you wouldnt even eat our dinner because we were too busy playing the pac man game there? All I can do is smile and hold those memories close to me. Its been so long since youve been gone, but we all remember you like we were with you yesterday. Happy early Birthday buddy, keep an eye on everybody.
