Dear O'neil Family,
My heart goes out to you! I am so sorry for your lose. I have known all the boys except for brian for a long time. I remember our days on Carwithan street running around the fire hydrant and playing tag. I continued to run into sean down Penny pack at the pool or the courts he always had a way of making people laugh. He was a sweet and very respectful young man. He will be sadly missed but not forgotten!

You will be greatly missed Sean, one a very few individuals that I called friend. Our time as friends was too short and the world will be lonelier without you around. God bless you on the journey that awaits. I'll never forget you my friend.
To the entire O'Neill family, my family mournes your loss and cannot express how deeply sad we are at your loss.

Sean,
I can't believe this has happened. It doesnt feel real. The pain that everyone is feeling is indescribable. I miss you so much and I wish I would have gotten at least one more chance to talk to you before everything happened. I just keep thinking about when we went up the mountains and how much fun we had. Sean you were always the life of the party. Whenever anyone was upset you were right there trying to make them smile. Everytime I was with you I had a smile on my face. I am really going to miss you knocking at my door at like 3 in the morning for a place to sleep. You were a very happy person and thats what I miss most about you. No matter what anyone did to you you always forgave them. I always admired that in you. Say hi to Matt for me. Sean please watch over everyone especially your Mom, Dad, and brothers. they really need you right now. I love you. Sleep tight angel.

Dear O'Neill Family,
There are no words that will comfort you in this agonizing time. I want you to know my family shares in your pain. Sean and my son Matthew were good friends, I had the opportunity of meeting Sean a few times and just about 2 months ago he showed up at my house, missing my son and wanted to look at all his pictures. I hope you have some comfort in knowing Sean is not alone in heaven, that he is with a friend. The road ahead is an emotional rollercoaster of emotion. I want to let Sean's mother know that I am here if you ever need to talk to someone going through the same pain. People who have not can only understand to a point.Having the birthday and day of death in the same month is something in itself, Matthew's are in the same month as well. I will pray to my son and wish your family peace. May your son forever rest in peace.
Love Matthew Taylor's Mother
