Dear Ms. Nancy,
No words can explain the pain that we all are feeling right now. No words can ease your pain but we will keep you and your family in our prayers. Shawn was such a WONDERFUL person and co-worker. Our staff will greatly miss Shawn and his smile and laughter. He truly is an angel in heaven. Nobody will ever understand why somebody so young with such a bright future would be taken at such an early age. We are all truly in shock. Nancy, we would like for you to know, we are here if you need anything even if it is just to talk. We had the utmost respect for Shawn. He was a very hard worker and very dedicated and we will miss him everyday. God Bless you and other family members.
