As a friend to Sean mother's Ruby, I was blessed with her zest for life when around her. I did not get a chance to know you but from what I have learned from your dad, who loves you so, you were a great young man. I pray you and your mother's souls rest in peace together. Until we are all together again one day, pray for us still here trying to live each day without you. Let us not forget to be thankful for what we did have and can still have if we don't lose sight of what can be... Love Always, Pamela Frazier-Grant

I only met Sean twice but he left such an impression on me. He was the nicest, most kind and thoughtful child I have ever met. I too can say that he must have been an angel. May he rest in peace.
