I will remember Shaun as a young, polite teenager who truly loved the Lord and who was happy to be part of a church family that loved him very much. My sympathy goes out to LaVonda and her family as well as the Letner Family who loved Shaun as their own. He will be missed. God bless all those that knew Shaun.

To my dear friend LaVanda ~ Know that you are in my prayers and thoughts during this time of loss. Know too, that your true friends are always there.

To Shaun's 'God'-parents, the Letners ~ It is true that God has so many of his Angels upon this earth. Though I have never met you, I know in my heart that you and your family are such people. Having worked in the field for a very long time, I have also come to know that it takes very special people to care for God's truly special people. The love and care you have shown will not go unnoticed or unmerited.

Peace to you all.

We are thankful we were able to have Shaun be a part of our family for the last few years. He was so blessed to have Bill and Barb in his life, and I thank God for giving them the ability to care for him in a way that no one else could have. He was very special to them, and the rest of our family and he will forever live in our hearts.

Sarah Bazar

I feel as if I was a "special friend" of Shaun but I believe, Barb and Bill were more than special friends, they were his mom and dad. I witnessed their love and compassion, as any parent would for their child, as they did for Shaun. Shaun, we love you.
