In the words of Helen Keller, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." Sean's adventurous spirit, compassionate heart, and generous nature were the best and most beautiful things about him. They were felt by all who knew him and will continue to live on in our hearts.
