Still can´t believe you´re gone, Mike. You were one of the real ones - always kind, always showing up with a hug or a supportive word when it mattered most. You brought so much fun and laughter into our lives, and your strength as a father was something we all admired. The way you cared for Jillian and Stephan with unwavering love and dedication showed just how deeply you loved your kids. Thank you for the memories, the example you set, and the steady presence you were for so many of us. The Shea family will forever hold you in our hearts. You will never be forgotten. We love you! Rest peacefully, Mike.
