Sean, The pain of no longer having you in our lives will be felt forever. Over the years, Jimmy "Monster", Meg, Kathleen, Mike, Mark and Rob have passed the time, around the kitchen table, talking about the fun and good times all of you had "at the mountains". We will always be grateful for those memories.
Pray for us precious boy!
Your Godmother,

We lost touch over the years but I will never forget the good times we shared. From our first meeting at Pizza Hut, to the fun we had at my Senior Prom. Thank you for always being such a gentleman and true friend. Please give my Mom and Annie a kiss and hug for me. You are now an angel looking over us all.

To the family of Sean Williams,
Today I saw his name in the news paper and could not believe my eyes. Last week I found a picture of Sean and I, from so many years ago. And I asked myself.. Why did I let that guy go. He was one of nicest, kindest and sweetest men I have ever met. I remember going over to Donna's house playing cards and eating pizza from her bakery. Cristy, Jimmy and Lucia I am so sorry to hear that your son/husband is longer among us. He was a great man. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers in this special time of need. God Bless you all.
