Dear Linda and family,
No words can express how very sorry we are for your loss. We will always remember Sean as a cute comical kid who could always make us laugh. He was a great friend to our boys, and will be missed by all. May God bless you and your family.

We've had so many good times over the years to talk about I could go on for days. I will cherish and hold on to them until we meet again. You where on the short list of humans that although had a different last name then mine that I considered family. The 4th of July's at Onieda won't be the same without you. RIP my man. And thanks for being you!
