The twins and Wesley were in 8th grade with him, and they all thought highly of him. I never had a chance to meet him personally, but I hear he was a great guy. I am very sorry for your loss. Bye.

Dear Shane,



You are missed so much by all of us and even though we know you are in a better place and well today, its hard to truly believe you're gone forever. We know you wouldn't want us to be so sad, but you must know how difficult it is to even imagine going on without your presence in our lives. Keep building your dream house and we'll join you there when our time comes. I love you Shane. And I'll never forget you and the joy you brought to my life.
