Is April 2025 Sean, we think about you every second of the day. I love you and miss you dearly. People say Jenny, is time to move on but is so easy to say but very hard to do when the love of your life is no longer physically here. We will love for ever and my world is dull/boring without you! Love you Sean. This obituary has helped me to send you my love and I know you won´t see it but I know you are looking out for me & Sean Jr.
