Shawn Slone

I'm in a head spin realizing it's been 16 years since we lost you. So much has changed in all of our lives. I can't help but wonder what would have been different if you had been with us all these years. I've seen pictures of Jessica and she is as beautiful as we expected. There is no denying she is your daughter. I hope you are peaceful and know that I think and talk about you often. I will always love you. Xo

So it's September 30. Two and a half months have gone by. Somehow it feels like a lifetime since this happened, yet it feels like it was just yesterday that Shawn and Rachael were sitting at Longhorn with Richard and I. I drive by the grave every single day - twice - and can't accept that Shawn is buried there. I feel like he is always with me to where I can almost feel his presence. Sounds crazy, but it's true. A song will come on - a feeling will come over me - and somehow I know he is...

The entire graduating class of 1988, King High School (Tampa), extend our fellow alumna (Stefany Riedlinger Slone) and her family our heartfelt condolensces. May the peace and love of Christ be with you during this difficult time.

Even though i only knew shawn for a month or so...he was still a wonderful , kind, and caring guy. I am so glad that i got to know him as much as i did. The family is in my husband and my prayers. I am so sorry.

It is 6:55 on July 23 and I am sitting alone for the first time in 7 days. I know I am only Shawn's "step" mother but he knew that he had such a special place in my heart and I considered him my son. Shawn's Aunt Laura stopped me in the mall one day and I had never met her before. She thanked me for being so good to Ricky and Shawn and that they always spoke highly of me. That never meant as much to me as it has this past week. My heart hurts as if I lost my own child. I was sitting next to...

I am blessed I had a chance to know Shawn. He touched so many of us, he was kind, caring, and sincere. He had a way of just lighting up your day with his smile. He is greatly missed. I am holding all of you in my prayers.

My memories are full of good and bad times we had together, but nothing hurt more then getting the phone call that you were gone. I've told you before and now more then ever there will always be a spot in my heart just for you. I miss you now and forever. May God be with Rachael and your little girl.

Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this time of lose. You all have our deepest sympathy. Shawn S. was my best friend. I miss him so much. He was a great friend and a guy with a big heart. He will truely be missed.

You are loved by so many,and will be missed and always in our hearts my nephew. i love you
Aunt Nancy,Jen ,nick and jesse
