Sean,
We are celebrating your life and today, your birthday. Hard to believe it's been 15 years since you left us.
I think about you every day and today is one of the harder days.
God Bless you and keep you, my son.

I thought about you on your birthday yesterday, as I think about you every now and then at random times. You are still such a presence in so many people's lives, Sean, including mine. You should be here in body as well as spirit. It's not fair even a little bit.
With love always,

Happy birthday bro! Still miss ya like crazy. Would love to go back and just sit down and catch a birds game together like we used to, they're awesome so far this year! 8-1! I know you'd love it. There's not a day goes by I don't think about you, like how much I'd enjoy something more if you were there, or if I could hit you up for advice or just to chill. I sometimes wonder what life would be like if you were still here. Lots of people you know are going through it and sometimes I feel like if we all just had you, our glue, it wouldn't be as bad. But I know that wherever you are you're watching over us, and most of all I know that death isn't the end and I'll see you again. I don't know where, and I don't know when, but I do know. Till that day comes I'll keep going on, confident and comforted by the fact that I'll see you again in the next one my brother. I love you Sean.

it's weird, cousin... i'm 17 now. it's nearly 2018 and time has been going so quickly that i haven't thought about you in quite a while, but mark my words, i have not and will never forget you. i had a dream involving you last night. the family was all watching the eagles play. you even had a jersey on. i looked back in these entries and saw a few entries 7 year old me made and my heart became a bit heavy. it seems you won over my little heart back then. i think part of it is still yours. i hate that i didn't have more time with you, it feels odd to have lost you so soon. it feels almost disingenuous because of how young i was when you passed but i know how much i loved you and i'm still lucky enough to have known you in the first place, sean. i wish you were still here. i wish i could've gotten to know you better. despite everything, i still love you so much. i would never leave you in the middle of nowhere.
love, kim

10 years is too long cousin. I can remember walking up for school and coming downstairs and finding out that you were in the hospital clear as day. I wish I would have had the chance to get to know you better. Fortunately, I was granted the opportunity to know your sister. She is an amazing person. You'd be soooo proud of her. I know I am. I'd have nothing without her. I know you see all the amazing moves she's making. She's adulting at level pro. What's even more amazing is that she hasn't forgotten her heart. She's still as kind as, well, I can't think of anything to compare her kindness to because there is nothing more kind than your sister. I know you and Liz both have a front row seat to all the shenanigans going on here. With that being said, we still miss you. Until we meet again cousin. I love you

It's coming up on 8 years since Sean was taken from us. I still think of him, I still miss him. I lost contact with many of the people we used to hang out with and wonder what happened to everyone. He was the glue that kept us all together. Without him we all eventually drifted apart and I often wonder if events would have been different if we would all still be together. I miss him. I wish I would have had more time with him. When he was in the hospital we all made plans of what we would do when he got out. We drank in his honor. We prayed together. But he couldn't pull through. God needed him more. 8 years later I can still feel the pain I felt the day I heard he didn't make it. Yet I feel strength, I know he is with me. I know he is watching over all of us. I know that he cares and appreciates when we remember him. I miss you Shagz.

Damn bro its been a long time. It seems like the older we get, the more things change. Its been a crazy couple of years to say the least. I miss you man, you were a great friend, no matter how different we were we shared the same struggles. You always looked out no matter the trouble we would get into. I just wish I was there that night. I hope you are chillin, whippin up some cheesy ramen up there. Save me some bro.

Its been 7 years since we lost Sean, but it could be 70 and we still would never forget him. Sean was one of if not the most important person in our lives. He helped bring us together and helped us stay together. He was our glue, he was a brother, cousin, homie, son, and most importantly he was our dear friend. I will never forget him, by blood he was my cousin, but by heart and soul he was my brother. I'll never forget you Sean and I look forward to the day we reunite in the next world, I know you'll be the first person I see introducing me to life after this one. We'll meet again my brother and chill forever together and with all those we love. I love and miss you deeply Sean, it hasn't been the same since you were lost to us, but thankfully the peoples hearts you touched and called friend our my friends too, and through them you can never be truly lost to us. Happy birthday my brother, I love you Sean.

I haven't written in here more than once, but I read every entry. I miss you, too, Sean, along with everyone else that misses you. I miss being your honorary aunt. I loved it when you called me "Aunt Maria." Wendy and Eileen were so lucky to have you as their nephew. You were a good kid and would have been an awesome man. It isn't fair that you didn't get the chance.

Hey Cuz... I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. I hope Heaven serves more than just angel food cake cause I know you're used to those Mitchell-Family-Birthday-Cheesecakes
I feel like I got to know you better while I was living at your house this past year... You're awesomeness is definitely still there to be felt :) plus, Shasha has so many great Shaggy stories along with the rest of your friends.
Well, just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and tell you that I wish we were all going to Outback today so all the cousins could attach ourselves to yours and ShaSha's legs :)
I love you Cousin

Hi Sean.. it's me YooMi.
It took me awhile to find this page..
I wish you were here. To be honest, I was so confused. I didn't understand what was happening. When I heard you passed away.. I didn't believe it. I still didn't believe it when I was at your funeral. It took me a long time to accept the fact and awhile to figure out life and death. Every time I keep thinking about you, I ask myself, "why?"..and I still do. I wish you were here.. I love you Sean, I miss you,
and I'm sorry. You will always be in my heart and the memories I spent with you will never fade.

The other day I put in a disc I hadn't heard in a while and cried. The track I listened to holds no emotional connection for me except that I felt your spirit and heard your voice as I sang along in the car. We were having a party, for what reason I don't remember, but you brought your karaoke game and everyone sang. You were amazed that I got such a high score singing White Flag. I guess you didn't think I could sing (and you were right - a nun once told me that I have a lousy voice, but a "good ear.") That definitely contributed to my dislike of Catholicism. But I digress. Miraculously, I hit every note. The look in your eyes of complete disbelief and admiration all at once was something I will never forget and will always treasure. I'm crying now as I write this. Always in my heart, Seannie Boy. I love you.

Has it really been four years? Since our smiles turned to tears, and the pain it still adheres, to a heavy heart that's broken, Still the saddness goes unspoken, like a gun that's left still smoking, lodged a bullet in my brain, in a world that's so insane, with a soul in so much pain, learn to cope and learn to deal, and yet it still feels so surreal, and still these wounds have yet to heal, Will they ever? I can't say, I think about you every day, When we meet, thy kingdom come, will solace come my way. Indeed, that's when solace comes my way.

It's so hard to believe that it's been three years since you entered the great gig in the sky.

When we came home from the service and reception, Daniel and I curled up together to talk about how we were feeling. I had recently read in a book that if you ask a departed loved one for a sign, you will be given one that you will have no doubt whatsoever was from them.. it will be unmistakable. I told my son this and together we spoke aloud to you to reveal to us that you are with us and heard us. Just then we were jolted by a loud clanging coming from the livingroom. The cats were also curled up around us leaving me wondering what had just happened.
On the tuner I had placed television rabbit ears as an antenna, and next to the flowers I brought home from your memorial service and the rabbit ears had fallen back behind the stereo.
Obviously, Sean, music is your great love and one of the ways you communicate with us who are still here.. thinking of you.. missing you -- when all along you are right here with us whenever we think of you or talk to you or talk to others about you!
Thank you, Michelle for establishing this guestbook that helps us express something of what we are all carrying around inside. To put these feelings into words that others can read and share gives us comfort and Sean the assurance of never being forgotten.

Yo Sean. What's up man? My birthday was last month, and Tammy and my girlfriend threw me a surprise party at my apartment at school. One of the best presents though was when I walked through the door and got bombarded with confetti, Michelle was one of people there. I couldn't help but instantly thinking of all the times the four of us used to hang out. It was good to be able to reflect about all of the good times.
It's been so long since it all happened. I miss you so much bro.

Sean’s birthday is in 3 days. Hopefully we’ll have our 2nd anniversary lasagna party celebrating his life.
I just had a flashback from 20 years ago, when Sean, Michelle and their mom and dad moved back here from New Mexico. That summer of ’87, we were all staying on Gordon St. One day I was watching MTV when George Michael’s “I Want Your Sex” came on. Sean plopped right down in front of the tube and, being only 2 1/2, I didn’t think anything of it. I figured he was too young to know or understand what the song was about. Halfway through the song though, he turned his head around and looking out of the tops of his eyes, grinned from ear to ear. Then he started giggling and came over and gave me a big hug. He obviously knew all too well what the song and the imagery was about!
I’ll never forget the devilish look in his eyes and that smile. It still makes me smile to think about it.

Its been over a year, and I just came back to town, after being gone for 3 years.... Saw your sister, She told me. Hit me like a brick, I knew you since we were young. We had our times of getting along, and times of not. I remember sitting in your house, microwaving Swedish Fish/Hawaiian Punch Gummies, in high school.
Much love, and save a seat for me.

God Bless you Sean... we will always think of you for as long as we all live. My son misses you terribly, even though he hides it well... he speaks of you often. I miss having you up at the house. You boys grew up together. Sha Sha... we love you too. You are not alone in your grief. Not to compare our feelings of loss... But we all feel the sadness in missing Sean. You have friends in this world up here in the woods, so call once in a while. We'd like to hear from you.
I wish the pain of his loss could be abaded somehow for you and your family, but I know that is not possible.
God Bless you all, and God Take Care of Sean!

Hey Sean. Haven't checked out your guestbook in awhile but not a single day goes by where you're not in my thoughts and prayers. Gosh, I still miss you. I've been coping better and finally got a job. I still can't shed this ache in my heart though. I don't know if I'll ever feel truly complete in this life, but I'm definitely trying to make the best of it. I hope you're happy, where ever you are. Feel free to haunt me any time. Much love,

Thinking of Sean quite a bit lately.
Never really got to know him because he came on the Allentown scene after I had left it. The extent of my contact with him could not have totaled more than a couple of hours. It consisted of only a quick hello on the phone every couple of years, and infrequent pop visits home where we'd pass each other on our way to other things.
He obviously had special qualities based on what I've heard and what I've read here.
It is also painfully obvious that by failing to get to know him, I missed out on something special.
I regret that. If it's possible to miss someone you never knew, I do.

Sean.. I think of you all the time -- especially since Daniel put your picture on his bedroom door and on the ceiling above his bed.. so it feels like you are always watching over us.. and yet I find myself choosing to believe that you are off somewhere with your family of friends partying and hanging out.. or you went down south on a lark for an extended holiday.. I am just waiting out your return .. the only difference is that, in my fantasy, you will come home some day.. but in reality I won't see you animated again until it is I that goes "home". I know that, to you, this will occur momentarily.. and I don't know when, and it feels like an eternity already.

Thank you for visiting me in my dreams last night. I was all excited because you were going to accept me as a friend on MySpace... It's funny... in my dreams, it's as if none of this ever happened. I find solace and peace of mind whenever I see you in them. I wish it wasn't just a dream. I miss you in so many ways. I find myself aching in places I didn't even know I had inside of me. It never goes away. I've cried enough tears to fill an ocean. I know you don't want to see me like that but I cannot help it. This pain is like no other, and it is relentless. I can safely say that I do not fear death anymore because I know you'll be the first person I see... and I am looking forward to that. I miss you, Sean. I love you.

Yo Sean. This is all crazy man. I go through every day, needing to convince myself that I just can't call you to see what's up. It's weird, because whenever something happens, whether it's big or small, it reminds me of you. I'm always telling my friends stories about you, because everything I do reminds me of something that we did when we were little. It just sucks that the memories I have of you are the only ways I get to see your face, hear you laugh. I miss you bro. I try not to get sad when I think about you, but it's so hard to come to terms with that fact that I lost someone so important to me. I still remember the last night we chilled. You ate those year old corndogs out of Sean Rogers' freezer and had no clue they were gross until I had a bite. That was one of many fun nights. Why did it have to end there?
I'll see you sometime soon homeboy.
I love you bro.

February 23, 2007
Every day I think to myself, why did Sean out of all people have to be the one to go? Somehow I wish he could just come bac to life and live the rest of his life with his family and friends. I'm sure he'd enjoy it, because he'd love coming to family parties, (and loved my mom's laugnsa) and love to hang with friends and throw parties.=]
If I could just have 1 more day with him, I would make it the best.
And spend as much time with him as possible, and never want it to end.
He was always there, supoorting everyone and making everyone feel like a "somebody" and special. I know he did to me. I love when he used to sneak up on Michelle & I's conversations and then we'd start one with him. We had the best, and I mean BEST times with Sean. And I am sooo upset and sad that that has ended. He was and still is a great cousin, and we all still think about him every day.. he'll never be forgotton, and he'll forever be in our hearts.
Love you always &&forever..

I think of Sean often. I sincerely hope God finds a way to ease the pain and feeling of loss for you Michelle, and the rest of the family. Myself and Nick both feel the loss of Sean greatly too. Im sure nothing could compare to what you feel... but our hearts are with you. Tragedy strikes and makes us all realize just how fragile and temporary we all are. Take comfort in knowing that you one day be with Sean again, but until then, Im sure he would want you to live your life with joy and happiness. He's with you. Maybe not in body right now... but soon enough, you will be together forever in God's kingdom...so live while you are alive. Sean is alive inside of every person who truly loved him.
God Bless!

Happy
Valentine's Day, Sean. It's snowing heavy outside and I started
thinking about how you, Shay, and I would climb the garage roof on
13th St. and slide off into the snow piles. When I drive passed Union
Terrace, I think of how we and Anthony Newheart used to break off chunks of ice that expanded onto the bank from the frozen pond, and then kick it back into the frigid water. I don't know why, but that was always really fun. I really miss those childhood days. I miss you.
Love always,

Seannie Boy,
I am so grateful for the precious and few moments we had together. At all the family get-togethers, where even though I was mad busy, you'd come into the kitchen and talk with me while everyone else was having fun. You'd tell me a story...make me laugh...bum a cigarette. You graciously offered to help and did whatever I asked you to do.
As I sit at the computer looking at pictures of you, I still cannot seem to get a grip on the enormity of losing your physical presence. All who loved you miss you in their own special way, because you had the rare ability to treat everyone you knew in a special way.
You are always in our thoughts.
We will always remember.
Haunt us....
until we meet again.
I love you.
Aunt Wendy

Sean,
I miss you so much... not a single day, not a single hour, not a single minute goes by where I do not think of you. You are in my thoughts always. I cannot describe how much my heart aches... it hurts so bad, Sean. I want you here, as selfish as that may be. Everyone says you're in a better place, but I wish you were here right now. It's not the same without you... I haven't been the same. God, I miss you so so much. Please visit me in my dreams again. I want to see you so bad.

To the family,
I just wanted to let you know I've been constantly thinking about Sean and the group of friends he grew up with including my son, Eric. One never knows what the next day may bring. It's so important for these younger people in our lives to realize the impact they really do have on all of us and what opportunities they have and that they should grab onto everyone of them. That circle of friends were very tight and even myself, lived one day after the other not stopping to realize how quickly things can change forever in a split second. I know Sean's friends will never forget him and the wonderful times they had and all the time they spent together. The holidays will tough but we are all thinking about Sean and his family. Take care.

I still think about Sean everyday, I still miss him, I still think that my phone is gonna ring and when I pick up his voice will be on the other end, I still think I will get online and see his screen name will pop up on my buddy list, and I still think about all the good times we shared together, Sean was such a great person and has had an impact on my life, greater than I ever would have thought, I pray for the family and friends of shaggy each and everyday, and I also pray for him, I hope and pray he has found peace and I KNOW he is still with us, watching over us, and knows we will c him again one day.

We found a piece of paper written by Kimberly, Sean's six-year-old cousin. It touched our hearts, so we're including it here:
"Dear Sean: I love you so much. I would never leave you in the middle of nowhere. I almost cried because I love you so much. I love you, Sean!!"

My only brother, my oldest friend
Now your flesh is gone
It seems goodbye is like the end
But sibling bond goes on
Painful to not hear your voice
Or see your smiling face
Leaving this world yet not by choice
The angels fell from grace
Like marching to an off-beat drum
Like singing out of key
Life had barely just begun
To end so tragically
Difficult to understand
When actions make no sense
This void that I must face at hand
Ineffably immense
Though as I look up at the sky
To heaven up above
Veraciously, I can't deny
Your true undying love
Secularly absent ye
Perpetually my brother
Comforting that someday we
Will see both one another
Brother, dear, within my heart
Lives the memory
And there we cannot be apart
For there... you'll always be

Joy shared is increased, pain shared is lessened. Thank you to all who came to Sean’s memorial service and all who took the time to sign this guestbook. He touched everyone he met in such a positive way. Knowing how much he meant to so many and how much he will be missed is a comfort to our family. Sean brought us together in shared sorrow and happy memories and made us all family. The amazing outpouring of love and affection each one of you has shown us has helped to lessen the pain of our loss and knowing his spirit will remain in all of your hearts is a blessing.

I was just thinking about this one time at the allentown fair. This lady was walking around giving away free tickets to the Sugar Ray and Michelle Branch concert. They told us that if we wanted the tickets we had to all sing a song from either artist. So we were singing a Sugar Ray song and Shaggy was doing the backround noises to the song. It just makes me laugh thinking about the sounds he was making. He didn't even want to see the concert he just wanted to be involved in the fun. Thats the #1 thing that was so special about Shaggy his humor and ability to make everyone around him to just laugh and have fun. Michelle you are a strong girl and I love you. If you need me i am always here. I LOVE YOU SHAGGY!!

To Mitch and Family, We were deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of your son. Healing words simply do not exist at a time like this. Joey and Kevin always speak so highly of you and knowing what a gentleman you are, I also know what a wonderful man your son Sean was. You were so kind and wonderful to us at Joey and Kevin's wedding - we will never forget - Nor will we ever forget this terrible loss. You and Sean are in our thoughts and prayers. In Christian love, Debbie and Dwayne Reish

Dear partner, I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I have only known you a short time but feel as tho it has been much longer. If nice wonderful people were exempt from sorry you wouldn't have any in your life. Unfortunately tragedies happen to even the best of people. You are in my heart, thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Carol

Michelle,When i found out that horrible night i was in so much shock..i didnt know what to do.I wanted to help you but i didnt know how. I have known you and shagz since we were in 4th grade! Your brother was and still is so awesome,i have so many memories of him from running around at halloween with matt at school as beavis and butt head to when he smacked gill with a bamboo stick. he always knew how to make everyone laugh and to turn someones bad day into a great one. I will miss him greatly,and he will always be in my heart and prayers. If i could help you out in anyway or you just want someone to talk to im right down the street from you. once again i am deeply sorry for your loss,and shaggy RIP and i will miss you and think of you always and forever.

I never actually had a chance to sit down and get to know you shaggy but whenever you were in the room there was an energy that could not be ignored, you always seemed to be a wonderful friend to everyone that cared about you. I know that you will be sorely missed i cant believe that you are actually gone it is so hard to find the words to express the value of a human life and the pain that can overcome someone when they have lost someone close to them i apoligize for not being able to make it to the funeral Michelle i wish you and your family my best i hope to see you soon.
