Hey, Sean - miss ya! Wish we could all get together at Montauk - a little ocean, bbq, some bean bag action - what could be better than that?! Hope to see you and the gang up there! Here's you and Aunt Dorothy in 1985 or 1986 - Beautiful!

Sean is in so many hearts and minds-I'm so glad to have shared the Purcell-Montauk family fun with Sean; love the picture of Sean and Poppy in the limitless wild ocean of joy. I'll see you, Sean -Love, Uncle Bill

Dear Prudence and Jim, Bob and I were very sad to hear about Sean. Our thoughts and prayers are with your whole family. I sent a card, but it was returned, so I'll try sending it again. With our deepest sympathies,

To my dear friend Prudence and her darling daughters, my heart breaks for your loss. There are no words that can bring you comfort at this time except maybe to say I and many other friends and family share your pain and are holding you up in our prayers. Know that this is not "good-bye" but instead "we will see you soon"

Seany,
You will be missed more than words can describe. We should be in Montauk together right now riding waves, playing ball and throwing bags. Everytime I make it out there again, I will take a "Montauk Swig" (a chug of Bushmill's) in your honor.
The only thing you loved more than fun, was family. I miss you so much already. I love you, Seany. Say hi to Poppy for me.

Dear Jim, Prudence and Family,
We are so sad about Sean. We did not know him well, but, luckily, we did meet him at Hither Hills a few times. We are broken hearted for you and your family. We are thinking of all of you every day and sending hope that you will somehow get through this...
Much Love,
Cousin Aileen and Joe

Oh Sean! How we love you Sean! We will miss you sooo much! We said goodbye to Poppy today and it was beautiful. But oh Sean, how difficult it is to say goodbye to you. We just love you. Our hearts are breaking. Sean, I know you and Poppy are in heaven together and it gives us some comfort. We just love you Sean!

Our hearts go out to you and all your family over this devastating loss. We wish we could be present at one of the services this weekend. Instead we will think of you often with love and hope that you will find comfort knowing that Sean's life was filled with many happy times that he shared with his family, friends and the activities he loved so much.
