To Seans family and friends,

My warmest sympathy to everyone during this awful time. Sean touched all of our lives, and his memory will remain in my heart forever. Although I am deeply shocked by his passing... my heart is warmed knowing that the thoughts of so many who loved him are with you.

I knew Sean since an early age, my sisters used to babysit him. When I met him again years later in O'Neill, we figured out that I could never have babysat for him, since I am only 2 years older than him! We laughed about that for awhile, then moved on to discussion of all of our mutual friends.

I saw myself in Sean, and I am devistated by this loss, as he gave me some of the most direct and meaningful advice I recieved during our shared times. I miss you Sean, and I know you are in a better place.

To Colleen and Family, my thoughts are with you and yours forever.

Dear Colleen-

I was so sorry to hear of Sean's passing. I only met him a couple of times while visiting my daughter at the "Ahwahnee House" in Lake Forest, but he was always warm and welcoming to me. And from the few conversations we had concerning the puppy Scooby, I know how much Sean meant to you and his family. I also know that Laura so enjoyed being his housemate and all their escapades while at Lake Forest.

My heart goes out to you Colleen, I cannot imagine the grief, but keep the happy memories in your heart forever, and you will get through this.

With my sincerest sympathies and love

My Darling Friend Coleen, I cannot find the words to express my sadness at the loss of your beloved son Sean. There is never a way to make sense out of the death of one so beautiful, so young. But we can continue to live fully, to learn the lessons and to love without limits as we remember the life of this blessed young man.
