Happy Birthday Shawn, I hope you enjoy your day in heaven, we all miss you so much and not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. We are all working through the anger, the sadness, the helplessness and the pain of losing you. The kids and I will celebrate your birthday today at the Strawberry Festival like you always like to do as a kid for your birthday. The memories are so vivid and it doesn't seem like you have been gone for over a year. The day we lost you will always be a close memory for me. I love you Shawn and miss you terribly. Happy Birthday Son...Love your mom, children and family.

I miss you Son and I promise to keep your memory alive in your children for as long as I live.
A mother is a forever friend. Remember last Mother's Day when you gave me that pillow that said this, I never knew then how much that pillow would come to mean to me but it will also be with me for the rest of my days. I love and miss you more than I can bear sometimes. Just to hear your voice again on the Happy Birthday message you and the children left me in October makes me cry so hard. I want you back and I don't understand why God took you home with him. Please watch over us and know that we will never forget you and how you could make us so mad and then make us laugh so hard.
Love your Mom

Shawn,
You have been gone 3 months today. I still cannot beleive I have lost you. I miss you so much and just wish I could see you and I wish I could know what happened. I don't think I will ever understand and my heart hurts so bad that sometimes I just cry and cannot stop crying. I always thought if I lost you or Dreama I would just want to die and be with you but your precious children need me and I have to be strong for them. They miss you so much, it breaks my heart to see them hurt and know you won't be here to see them grow up. Rest in Peace my Son and someday your Momma will hold you again. I love you Shawn.
Your mother.

You ben my brother-in-law for ten years, but now your gone, but forever you will stay in our hearts and thoughts. Im gonna be her for Candyce and the kids no matter what happen. Im gonna make sure your kids remember how great of a man you were, and how you could brighten up any situation.

Candyce,
I remember the day ya'll got married, and i cried because i thought Shawn was trying to steal away my big sissy. But i realized real fast that, that was not his intentions. But like i said im always gonna be here for you and the kids, and i will have your back no matter what you decide to do in life. I love you, and stay strong.
Destiny, Shawn, Hunter, && Delisha,
Your daddy was the best man ever. Everyone loved him and how he could make us laugh. He loved his family with everything he had. He loves you guys and now he is in heaven watching over ya'll and keeping ya'll safe. Stay strong because i know that what your daddy would want. I will always be here for you guys if you need anything no matter what.
