Hi Dad,
I miss you so much, but you can probably see that. And I know that my crying has always made you feel uncomfortable, but I can't help it! Look at Austin dad! He's walking! And I think he's got and angel helping him! And you know I'm okay with that cause I'd do anything to have you hold him again and give me a hug. I was at your house yesturday. And it still smells like you. I really couldn't stay there long. It's too hard. I love you dad, I miss you, will you please come visit me. I've been staying at moms, keith is gone up north and I don't want to be alone, and I can't help but think I am. I love you dad.

To my daddy:
Words cannot express how sad I am that I have not only lost my Father I have lost one of my best friends. I wish I could turn back the time and come see you that night. Instead I was selfish and stayed home, when you asked me to come over and help me with my car. I am so sorry! I would do anything to turn back the time. Me and Austin look at your picture every morning and say 'good morning' and he'll give a little wave to his grandpa, then we go to your ashes and do the same thing. Strange, but its helping us heal. Especaially Keith, you were his dad as well as his friend. We miss you dad! I hope you know how much you are loved! I hope you and Teri are having fun! GOD! I miss you and I'm so hurt! I can't move on. I love you daddy! *your little girl*

Shawns voice will be kept in my memory and bring a smile to my face when I think of him, he would always call the office and never say his name, we know it was Shawn. Always smiling & laughing on the other end. We'll miss your calls!

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to all of Shawn’s close friends and family. Shawn I only knew you for a short time but wow what a great person! Anyone that was lucky enough to know Shawn even for a short period of time would’ve realized how much he loved his family and friends, and how great of a man he really was! It was my privilege to call you my friend. I’m defiantly going to miss working with you and all the good laughs we had.
God Bless

Shawn:
We defiantly had our laughs in conversations about family and work. In the time that I knew you, you talked very highly of your wonderful daughters and your beautiful grandchildren. You really had a way of touching someones heart. I too will miss many things about you including your laugh!! You certainly had the bark but not nearly the bite.
To your family and friends:
May memories of your son, brother, father or friend comfort you in your time of sorrow.
Sincerely "kiddo"

Amber and family: I was very sad to hear about your Dad's passing on to Heaven. I can't tell you how much I feel for you at this very sad and confusing time. Amber, your like a special 'daughter' to me and Austin is my first 'grand' baby :-) I love your Mom and am glad I met your Dad. I prayed to my Mom in heaven that she helps welcome your Dad to the next stop. Lotsa love,
Sheila

SHAWN,
You will be missed more than you know. No matter how busy you were, you always had time to say high to my 2 little reds when we ran into you, they talk about you often. It was my privilege to call you my friend. My deepest sympathies to your family, no one should have to bury 2 children. My prayers to your family, friends, and cowokers, and all who knew you.

Shawn - you became my Best Friend at Coon Rapids where we met about a year ago. We talked everyday about our lives, work, family and friends. We had so much fun together, I will miss many things about you, especially your hearty laugh. We just talked monday night about hunting and you made me laugh by saying your worst day of deer hunting was better then your best day at work. My deepest sympathy for your family & friends and I will keep you & them in my prayers.
Forever your "little buddy"

I didn't have the privilege of knowing Shawn, but I still wanted to send my deepest condolences to the family and friends. May you find comfort and hope (as I do) from the promise of Jesus to bring back our dead loved ones to be with us again on earth under his kingdom rule, when there will be no more debilitating sickness, no more painful suffering, no more tears of sorrow, and no more of our age-old enemy death. May you also find comfort through your prayers, your love, and support of each other.

Qwest will be a quiet place with out Shawn. We could tell from the other end of the garage if Shawn was in the office! The place will have a very empty feeling now without that booming laugh of Shawn's.

Shawn- you were always the goofy uncle that tipped us kids up side down and tickled us!...We were all afraid of you yet we almost wanted you to pick on us-- those were some fun times! I will always remember your loud mouth over everyone else..but that was just you...and we loved that about you!! I know where you are you would never want to return...Im sure Teri was there at the pearly gates waiting with a cake that said welcome home!! I know we will all meet again one day! And all of our family will be reunited in heaven....so until then... We love you and Miss you!
Love- your niece- Jennie

I wish to express my deepest sympathy to all of Shawn's loved ones. He loved all of you so much and talk about his family all the time. I had the great pleasure of working with Shawn at Qwest, while he was at the Forest Lake garage. His sense of humor and kindness will be forever missed. May God comfort and sustain you now and in the difficult months to come.

Shawn,
Words cannot say how I am feeling right now. I am numb. I want you to know that I love you. I need you to know that. I love you Shawn. I am going to miss you so very much. I promise to watch over Amber and Nikki for you. I will never let your grandchildren forget you. I will always, always, keep you in my heart. I just can't find the words right now. Just know I love you and miss you. Tell Teri I miss her too and I love her. Untill we meet again........

My precious baby brother. I miss you so much. I want so much for the phone to ring and have it be you on the other end. My faith in Jesus is the only thing that is helping me make it through. I know you are with Jesus and there's no better place to be. I know Teri was there to greet you at the gate of Heaven when your angels took you there. I love you so much. One day we'll be reunited. Love, your sissy Susi. X O X O
