Dear cousin Shawn, what sad news to hear of your passing. You (and all our cousins) were such an important part of my growing up and you will always be dear in my heart. What a wonderful man you grew up to be and those that knew you will miss you so very deeply. You were an inspiration and touched many lives. I am proud to have been your cousin. You left this world much too soon, but you are now a special guardian angel looking down with love and always with those that love and miss you. Rest in peace, dear Shawn. You will continue to be an inspiration. xxx
