We were shocked and saddened by the news of Sean's sudden passing. We will always remember his cheerfulness and his smile that could light up the room. God bless you for making the loving decision to provide the gift of life to others through organ donation. We know that Sean is beaming from Heaven! You and your family will be in the thoughts and prayers of the entire Sauers family. Please contact us if you need anything.

Gina & Ron-
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. Sean will definately be missed by everyone especially Ashley! Gina you did an excellent job raising an outstanding son. I know this is a hard time for you and your family but just remember with Sean being an organ donor being able to save 1 life is a miracle but saving several lives...words can't even express the joy you will be bringing to other families. Just remember there will always be a little bit of Sean walking around somewhere and I am sure he is always watching over you. I hope you are able to stay as strong as possible through your time of sorrow.

Gina,
There are not enough words to say how I really feel. I loved your son and he will truly be missed. He was a great, good hearted man. You raised a little boy into a great man. The pain of losing your son will never go away completely, you just learn how to go on a day at a time. Your family and friends are here to help you during this time of pain and will always be there for you. I love you and your family. God Bless you

Wow! How to even begin. A loss of a brother! As I refelct on Sean and his life this is what I think. Sean did not have a lot of money, a super nice car or a place of his own right now. What Sean had was LOVE. Sean would have done anything for anybody! It is a shame that today success is measured by what fancy toys we have or the home we live. Sean had a heart that was bigger than life. He truley cared for all of you. In that I find comfort that Sean is loved now more than any of us could ever show him. Please contact me through e-mail anytime you have a funny story to share about Sean or just need someone to lean on! I do not ask why, I say Thank you Lord for the time you let me have with Sean. To hug him, cry with him and share good times. Now I know it is time to let him go back home to you.
Thank you all of you for your support

A mother's love for her child is unexplainable and when things like this happen, there are alot of questions why. But, God has a plan for all of us and now Sean can be your guardian angel. Sean will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May you find strength to get through this difficult time.

Sean, I have known you since we were both 1 and 2 years old! I am going to miss you terribly! You have helped me create some very awesome memories. As adults we drifted apart, and I truly regret that! I guess we took for granted we'd always be here. I love you like you're my own brother Sean and I always will!! I'm going to miss your amazing smile!
Gina, & Sarah my prayers are with you. Thank you for allowing Sean to live on through organ donation. What an amazing gift that is! If you need anything I am always here for you both.
