My condolences to the Efaw family.My heart was broken when I received the news about Shane. It was total shock. My heart also goes out to the Grandparents, I know they were especially close to their grandsons and practically raised them .Remembering back when they were young children through their teens and then into adult hood they were always at their grandparents. The devastation that this sort of tragic accident brings. May God bless you with tons of grace and comfort to get through this. Andera'

Mr and Mrs Efaw and Family,
I just found out today about Shane. I am in shock. I am so truly sorry. I cannot imagine what you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Shane mowed my yard for me the 4 years I lived on River Run Rd. He was every mother's dream of a son. Very hardworking, polite and nice. I thought a great deal of him.
I am just shocked. I'm truly sorry.

Rick, Kim and Family,
My family and I are just heart-sick with the news of Shane passing and can't imagine the pain you all must be going through. I was telling my wife about the first time I saw Shane, he was just a little guy when you were driving truck for Tim Gooch and how polite and just a great young man he was. The last time I had a the fortune of seeing Shane was a few months ago, my wife and I ran into you both at Wal-Mart and Shane mentioned he wanted to sell his car. I will always remember him as that little red-headed kid with the big smile.
If you ever need anything at all, please do not hesitate to call me at (304) 825-6118 anytime.
Oceans of love and prayers go out to your family and hope that the support of family, friends and faith will pull you through this difficult time.
Love,
Chuck, and Lori Postlethwait & Family

To my dearest family, somethings I'd like to say....
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness: here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged ma and he said,
“I welcome you. Its' good to have you back again;you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.”
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you...in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, that I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night.... “ My day was not in vain.”
And now I am contented.... that my life has been worthwhile ,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go ... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.... you're coming here to me.
