Gary and Linda
I'm very saddened at the loss of your son. I know the great love you had for him. Times like this you always wonder why, but I know through my personal experences that the Lord is in charge and that there is truly a plan. Some day we will all understand. I just want you to know that my love is with you at this time. May you always remember the good times that you spent with Sean, and now know that he is living in peace.
All our love, Delbert and Kathy Bishop

Dear Susan and Dennis, I am so sorry for your loss of Sean. He truly was a dear man and it was a privilege to take care of him on my unit. I cannot imagine how difficult it is for you to lose such a treasured loved one. I thank you for allowing me the chance to care for him and get to know him and you both. I wish you peace in time through the love of Sean's memory.

Uncle Gary-
My heart breaks over Sean's passing. My favorite memories of Sean were when he spent the summer with us when we were kids. We had such fun adventures, with him leading the way, of course. I will never forget the 'infiltrating' of forts, the giggling, and mischief we generally got ourselves into (half of which you and mom had no idea of). He was kind, sweet, and so much fun. He made a real mark on our whole family.
Be comforted knowing he is no longer in pain and he is with Grandma now, and, in my opinion, that is Heaven itself.
Love always,
Lisa

Dear Gary,
Not sure if you remember me, Heidi Fogg - I worked with you in the 80's with Sue Mark and your brother. I fondly remember what a loving father you were and how proudly you spoke of your son. So I was saddened to hear of his passing. My prayers are with you and your family.
Blessings,
Heidi Fogg

Soozy & Dennis,
I am so very sorry for the loss of Sean! I've pondered all day searching for the right words to say, to help you endure your grief. My heart so breaks for you! The sad truth is there are no words that will take your pain away. My only hope is for you both to realize what wonderful parents you have been to Sean, and how very lucky he was to have you. Although I only had the privilege of meeting him once, the stories you've shared have made me realize what an outstanding young man he was. Please know that you have all been in my prayers for many months now, and will continue to be as your hearts heal. Also know that Sean is no longer suffering, and is watching over you with love and understanding that we have yet to fathom. May God bless you both and give you comfort at this most painful time in your lives.

I am so sorry to hear about Sean's passing. I was sort of watching for him to come back to my floor and then realized that he had passed away. From what you told me when we visited in the hospital and from reading his obituary I can tell that he was a wonderful person. I wish you peace and comfort at this time. You have been a wonderful mother to him. He could not have asked for better.

Dear Gary and Linda, It was with a heavy heart that I heard the news. It seems like the camping trip to Baggs with Sean was just yesterday even though I know it is not. Please know we are thinking of you and your friends and family. We will gladly make a donation to the humane society in Sean's name. Sincerely, Paul and Shanon

"A magnet produces its own magnetic field and it also responds to magnetic fields. A magnetic field has value at every point in space." I mention magnets because Sean seemed to be a human magnet that created a field to pull people toward him and to pull himself toward good people. A magnet's magnetic moment is a vector that characterizes the magnet's overall properties. I just wanted to mention a few of Sean’s magnetic properties that drew others to him. First, Sean was a good listener. He let you know that he cared about what you had to say, it was easy to see deep in his eyes that he did care. Second, Sean was extremely intelligent and articulate. It was enjoyable to talk to him about his passionate topic of the day; I was continually amazed that he knew something about everything. Third, Sean had a quick wit and an incredible sense of humor. He laughed with others and he laughed at himself. Even in ICU when the tubes hindered his ability to speak, he still found a way to smile and laugh at himself. Finally, Sean was a loving, caring person that warmed us with his smile. I compare Sean to a magnet because I believe that he had value at every point in space. I feel blessed to have known Sean and I feel deprived that his presence on earth was too short.
Soozy and Dennis, I love you and I wish for peace in your hearts at this time. You were such a constant comfort and support to Sean; he was so lucky to have you. I know he greatly appreciated you and your love for him. Your actions showed Sean time and time again how much you loved him and I am happy for you to have had that awesome opportunity. Your ability to transform into home-care nurses still amazes me. You unselfishly accepted whatever responsibility was necessary to make sure Sean was well taken care of both physically and emotionally. Sean left this world knowing without a doubt that he was truly loved; I know he is at peace. I hope you both feel at peace that Sean is no longer suffering in battling his medical war. Lance, Alexander and I have you in our thoughts and prayers.

Sean will be greatly missed. I was lucky to have known him for a short while and I am very grateful to have had this opportunity. He was an amazing man and had an amazing family that supported him through all his struggles in this life. We will miss you Sean

My deepest condolences go out to you Susan.
May you find peace in his absence and know that he is in a much better place. A place of harmony and freedom from the burdens of his failed body. His spirit could not be broke though his body was fragile. He always came home from the Dr. appointments commenting on how his adventure was with the nurses and how he would harass them and make them all laugh. I will miss his free will and ever lifting kindred mind. His outlook of how he really did not think he was that bad off. He always had a way of seeing how things could be worse when things did not seem that bright to me. I will forever cherish him and the values in life that he has passed on to me.
Should you awake and think you could have done more do not worry as GOD will never let us down. It is only us that forgets HE's around.
May he rest in peace.
