Dear Deb and Family, We met Sean briefly in 1969 when he would have been 16. We thought what a quiet reserved young man he was. Now after reading the many tributes to him in his guest book he certainly changed. Always ready with a smile-the life of the party-a caring brother. I wish we could have known him better, I know we to would have loved him.
Our Love and thoughts are with you and yours at this sad time.
Howard & Audrey and Family. Your relations in England.

Sean, I was lucky to have seen you on your last birthday. When Joe and I came over we did not realize it was your 54th birthday. But you and I were able to tell one another we loved each other for the last time. That memory will stay in my heart forever. There are so many memories and although some are very sad, I chose to remember the good times and those were many. You have played a part in my life for over thirty-five years and that cannot be erased. You were one of a kind and anyone who knew you would have to agree. God blessed me with having you for a brother-in-law for a time and to me you were always like the brother I never had. My whole family loved you and I believe we will meet again. When that time comes there will be no more tears, only joy, for that is God's promise to us. Saying goodbye to you is so difficult, but in my heart you will always remain. I love you and I know that God will hold you in his loving arms and give you the comfort you longed for while here on earth. Until we meet again know that you will be loved and missed greatly by all of us.
Love Brenda
