It is never easy to deal with a death, worse still when it is your child.
I worked with Shane his first year at PSA; I left to move back home while he stayed. I returned 3 years later, and we picked up being friends. We would talk about many things; mostly cars, weightlifting, mysteries of the universe......
I considered him a friend, and will until I pass. I wouldn't look at the sorrow of loss, but the joy of knowing him.
