Hi Sean! I hope your doing well up there. We sure do miss you down here. I just can't believe it's been a year already. If you were still here I'm sure all those rainy days we've had would have been sunshine. Well take care of yourself and I'll write you again soon.

Love Always,

Nicole

Dear Sean

i can't believe it has been almost a year since you left us. I still think of it like it was yesterday and i guess i will for a long time. Erin and i are struggling to get through this without you and it is so hard. Everyone who ever met you understands what a tremendous loss this is for us. you were the sunshine of our life and now the sun has gone down and we can only hope to see it rise again. i have moved to Florida to try and get a new start but you are with me wherever i may go, you know that. The pain that i feel will someday get less but for now it remains strong in my heart. I think of you every minute of every day. i am still so proud of you and I promise not to let them forget you, never.

I am trying to be the best person that I can be for you and carry on your tradition of helping others and being there for them. I love you my son more than words could ever say and more than anyone could ever know. I miss you desperatly and wish that I could go back and change all of this. Stay your sisters guardian angel and watch over her. keep wispering in her ear and she will hear you. She needs you Sean and loves you.

love

My buddy Sean. I feel sorta strange saying "buddy" since I had only seen you once in the last 3 years or so, but I remember the fun times you and I had while I had the privelage to be around you and your family. I just recently learned of your untimely passing and it saddened me more than most would probably understand. The last time I saw you, you were working at the Putty Hill Station. You recognized me (although I didn't recognize you since you had grown so much since the last time I saw you) and you made a point to come over to me, say hi, and just shoot the breeze with me like we had just seen each other the day before. That's the kind of quality person you were. I know your Mom and Erin will never let the memory of you fade away, and I pray that the pain they have to deal with can be lessened knowing that you are in a better place. You will always have a place in my heart, and you will be missed.

With love,

Rick

Hey sean,

This is your cousin Chelsea. I still remember the day you let me, Anthony and Sierra all jump of the roof into the swimming pool. And you promised when you got a car you would take us to 6 flags, Kings Dominion, New york....everywhere!We all miss you a lot. Tanta is doing better, not 100% okay but she is trying. Remember Asley, sie's baby-sitter? She misses you too. I miss you sean and i never forget you!

Hey Sean, this is Miss Sharon, WOW I can't beleive that life could be so short. I keep thinking about our last visit, you were at my house with Rob laughing and talking about you going into the Marines to begin a new start, because your cousin was doing so well and you admired him. Sean, this just a recent memory, but there are many, many more from different times. You always had that sunny smile and great laugh. Sometimes at others as well as yourself. Honey, you will always be in my heart and also in thoughts. Just a message from Mr. Phil, so I will pass on a little of what he is feeling. He told me just the other day when we were out on the motorcycle how he misses you on the back holding onto his belt as you guys spent some bonding time together. You acutally were the son that he never had and enjoyed you so very much. You could always bring a smile to him in his darkest moments. He misses you very much. Sean rest assured that I will be there for MOM and ERIN. They are doing well, you would be very proud of them cause I sure am. Erin is got a new job and working very hard on taking care of her self. Mom truly beleives in God and his angels, she knows that you will be taken care of until she meets up with you. Lots of wonderful memories held close to my heart and to never be forgotten. Enjoy the beauty, peace and party hardy. Missing you and will see you when it is my time. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

I did not know Sean personally, he was a friend of my daughter Heather who was with him that fateful day. I know in my heart that Sean was a good boy just by talking to some of his family and friends. I know that you and Heather are with God now, but I do ask one thing of you, Please look after my little girl for me until it is my time to once again be with her. Maybe she can introduce me to you for I know that if you were a friend of hers that you will also be a friend of mine. I feel for your family for I know the pain & agony that they are going through. Sleep well & be at peace with yourself.

Sean,

You were a wonderful nephew. I loved you very much. You got close to Anthony & Chelsea the summer you watched them for me and they miss you very much. I know you were just a teenager trying to become a man and it was not easy for you. I have met some of your friends and I have seen so many people greiving for you. You thought you were alone without many friends but there were so many people around you that would have helped if you any time. It must be hard to grow up in the world. Much harder than it was for us. I know you were trying and I know you would have become a fine man. I wish I could have talked to you more recently and told you how much you meant to me and how much I love you. I hope you knew. Anthony wears your shirt every other day, he loved you so much. I hope you are happy and at peace now. I will try to take care of your mom and help her and Erin. I hope anyone reading this will help also. We loved you very much and miss you Sean.

Dear Sean

you were the most wonderful son that a mother could ever ask for. You always took care of me and I don't know what I will do without you. I am so proud of you. Even though I am your mother I was so proud to see the amount of people that you touched and all of them remembering your caring and unselfish acts. So many people have told me how much you made them smile and laugh and every where I look and every picture of you that I see you have that wonderful smile that I will never forget. I hope that your friends will come and see me because in them you live on in so many ways. Sean, my son, while you had your bad moods once in a while they were few and far between, and I know that you are spreading sunshine in heaven. know one can know the heartbreak that I am feeling and I know that you would tell me that I am being selfish and I shouldn't be sad, that you are in heaven with Jesus and God and having the time of your life. I know that you will take care of Heather and that you are smiling down on all of us left behind and telling us that it's okay, be strong and remember you with laughter, not tears. Erin and I are taking care of each other the best we can, and I will try and help any of your friends in the same way you would, whenever I can.

I will never let them forget you my beloved son. I will talk of you often to all I can and tell them of your wonderfulness, and I will make them smile......always, for you my boy, my son

LOVE

Sean,

I'll always remember the times at the camp ground. You were always the one to volenteer to walk with me to the bathroom,and I remember one time telling you i was hungery and you stuck your hand up the vending machine and pulled me out a bag of chips. You were always willing to do anything for anybody if it made them happy. It seems like yesterday you and Rob stopped by my house to visit. I remember you and Drew were talking and you said you wanted to go into the Marines to get off to a better start. Drew tried to talk you out of it but you knew what you wanted. Those times at the Go-kart track with Ginger& Terri were fun too! All those free rides! All these memories are kept very close to my heart and so are you. They'll never be forgotten and neither will you!

R.I.P.- We love You,

Nicole & Drew

Dear Jo Ann & Family,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, & brother. Jo Ann,we didn't work together very long,(Foster) but I always enjoyed your company and knowing you that short period of time I got the impression you were a great mother.I wanted you to know I will pray for you and your family because at this very horrible time, prayer will be the only thing to get you through. I watched my sister go through the very same thing as you are going through at this time and I know what devastation it can bring. Please be assured, that you will get better over time. As unbelievable as it seems at this moment, I promise you, it will get easier. My heart breaks for you, I wish there was something I could do to make it easier, but we know, nothing, other than time, will ease the pain. I hope you can find some comfort in reading all the notes posted by his friends. He was truly loved.

Again I express my heartfelt sympathies to you and your family and pray for solace and comfort for you all.

Sincerely,

Marsha

I'll never forget our days at the pool. You always kept us all laughing. Then we went our separate ways for high school, but our paths crossed again when you transferred to Loch Raven. And all the rides home I gave you...you owe me man! Haha. Well, we'll all miss you, Sean. But, you're safe now. Love always.
