I never knew Sean. One of my best friends called me the day he died telling me of the news. I can't believe he died so young. Sean was 17 months older than me. I have been praying for the Stantons and my friend who knew him.

You have been in my prayers from the beginning of this terrible tragedy. I have prayed for both of our sons. I no longer have to pray for Sean because of everything I've read, He definitely had given himself to God. So I know that now Sean is with the Lord and in Christ, the end is only the beginning. My heart goes out to his Mom and Dad and all that knew and loved this wonderful young man. You continue in my prayers.
