Madalyn and Family, my heart aches for you over the passing of Mr. Shea. His memory and legacy will live on through the love he had for you all. I was honored and fortunate to have known Mr. Shea and will always remember his friendliness, directness, concern for others, sense of humor, and the love he had for his family and his God.

Madalyn,

I only met your father a handful of times but could tell what an amazing man he was. I know he will be deeply missed, however, he is back home in Heaven. May the peace of our Lord and Savior be upon your family during this time of sadness.
