Sean, I know you're setting up little pranks and such for all of us! It's our way of knowing you are there and also those special moments when we look above and see the brightest star. You are loved by so many people...you've touched so many hearts and you'll always continue to do so! With Love, B

I'm heartbroken to hear about the loss of such an incredible young man. I know Sean was an inspiration to all of his friends and family. I heard about his passing today and the memories began to flood my mind. Sean and I 'borrowed' his brother's Mustang and tested the suspension out on every dangerous road in Westford. Musically, he was brilliant. He could always come up with a chord change or melody that made the song authentic- one of a kind. And, in case we happened to stumble on the progression, he kept a binder full of the guitar tabs to keep us on track. I didn't keep in touch with him as well as I would have liked to- but I remember the last time I saw him by chance at a bar in Cambridge. A warm smile, an honest inquiry into how I was doing, and the heartfelt well wishes from a friend I'll never forget. My deepest sympathies to his family during this difficulty time.

I am so sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person. I have so many fond memories of our Cross Country days in high school. We had such a fun close-knit team and Sean was always right in the mix of things. I will forever remember his fun-loving nature and great smile. He has been taken off this Earth far too early ... my heart goes out to his family. Rest in peace Sean.

Dear Ellen,
We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved fiancé Sean for whom you had cared for in such a loving manner. We know that he meant the world to you and will be missed. Hopefully, by the grace of God, you will get through all of this and find new strength in your life. I know that Amy is heartbroken also too bad she is so far to be of help to you. We will remember Sean in our prayers and in the memorial masses we will have said for him in our parish.
With much love,

Mr. and Mrs. Roach and Ellen,
Sean will always be that spirited, mischievous, wickedly funny, dashingly handsome, and sparklingly smart guy I knew at McGill. We'll all miss him. My thoughts and love go out to you and your family.

Ellen,
I was very sorry to learn of Sean's passing. His loss must be very difficult for you.
The Greeks, who have words for everything, have a special prayer for a time such as this: May the memory of our dearly departed Sean Patrick, who is worthy of blessedness and eternal memory, be with us now and forever and ever.
