Dear Nell, Prissy, Pat, April and Ginger,

I was so sorry to read (on the internet today)about the loss of your son and brother. I pray that warm good memories about Shawn will grow each day to take over the pain you must feel today. I will call Mother and tell her tonight and then let the rest of the family know. I'd love to hear from you when you have the time. Warm good wishes, Judie Geaslin Fitch

We wish all of you our sympathy at this sad time--and remembering sweet childhood memories of Shawn as a little boy--he was a joy to babysit.

Shawn



You blew through life without a care

We could always count on you to be there

Whether moving or tennis or just for a laugh

You were the best friend my dad ever had

I will miss you dearly as will everyone you touched

I only hope you knew you were loved so much
