Shane's beautiful heart and caring soul will always shine through. I got to know him when I was in Bangkok for 3 months in AIGS. He affectionately talked a lot about his mom, dad and brother. He even told me the amazing story of how Corge got his name. May God give his family and everyone who loved him the strength and patience. Will never forget his kindness, his loving nature, his intelligence and his sense of humor.

Do not stand
at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds
that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the
morning's hush
I am the soft uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star that
shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there.
I did not die.

Shane this poem is for you. You will be missed dearly, And Mr&Mrs. Umlauf I am sorry for your loss.
