I do not know you, but I have a 10 year old son and just can't imagine. I'm asking myself "how does a child get cancer?". It's just not fair. I pray for your family and I pray that the memories of your son help you get through your horrible pain each and every day. It's just not fair........

I have prayed for Sean for a long time and today when I heard that he had died, I got a pain in my heart. He must have been here on a mission from God, and his job is done. I don't know any of you but my friend told me about his circumstances and I felt as though I knew him. God bless all of you. You have a special angel in heaven.

In the short time I got to know Sean, he proved to be an extraordinary young man, and I learned a lot from him through his courage in battling his cancer. I like to believe a little bit of his spirit will live on in every life he touched through his battle. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

Our daughter, Kyleigh, was in Sean's class at Chelsea for the last two years. Our family was devastated to hear of Sean's passing. I know that Sean's classmates are grieving as well. Kyleigh talked about Sean all of the time and was amazed by how strong he was over the past two years. I remember seeing him in the classroom when I would volunteer and he was always smiling and enjoying life! I cannot even imagine the loss that your family must be feeling. Our prayers are with you every moment of the day during this very, very difficult time.
