To the Hill Family,

Shawn was one of the truest people I had ever known. He was the "best" friend anyone , especially I, could ever have. He was always laughing, making the best of situations. He didn't have a bad word to say about others. He was always there for you. Now we need to be there for his family. Linda, Nicole, and Selina...you know that I will always be there for you like Shawn was for me. I'll never forget him...I'll see him where ever I go...he will live on through us...Shawn, you left us way too soon...

He Is Just Away

He has journeyed far
with an angel as his guide
He has found a
heavenly paradise and
God is by his side.
He has found peace
and he is safe in
God's loving care,
And we can be thankful
for the special memories
that we have to share.
