Linda, Gary and Family, I was very sorry to learn about Sean's passing. Losing a son or daughter or sibling in the prime of life has to be one of the most difficult experiences that humans endure. At these sorrowful times we must grieve and then access the treasure trove of wonderful memories that have made the deceased loved one so meaningful in our lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you travel through this difficult time.

I never met Sean, but Audrey and I are close friends. We've spoken of our brothers many times and I know he will be greatly missed. I send my sincerest condolences to the family I feel I've gotten to know a bit by spending time with Audrey. Much love to you, Audrey.

Although I knew Sean for only a couple of years, he taught me many things. He taught what persistent determination, patience, commitment and hard work can do thru his living example. His deep love and beaming pride for his daughters showed each time he talked about them. Hopefully, you both will feel his continual love and presence as you both make your independent journeys thru life. Sean was a joy to work with and we will miss him.
