Sean, I remember your dad picking you up. I remember because you were so kind and made me feel so wonderful before you left. I was looking forward to talking to you when you got back. I was looking forward to telling you that our conversation made me miss the bus. I was so distracted. I had to get a ride with a teacher. Now I know that it was the last conversation I had before you left I am even happier I missed the bus, it was worth it. You were such a wonder And kind person. I hope you´re listening to some good music in heaven.

Sean: To God be the Glory:
Only He knew what was best. I cannot find the words best to express you, not to sound good. Yet they are not good enough to express your work here on earth with us. You really truly was a sweet sweet child. With such a great big shining smile. You would always offer your help with anything.You were quiet and so amazing.I remember talking with your Mom on the phone and I would often say to her,that her children was so polite,sweet and amazing. Sean, God sends Angels to do his work, here on earth. We can never recall figuring out how he got his angels for the job,until he called your sweet name.So as you start your new journey up in higher heights do it even greater than you did down here with us. And you do know that I got her attention one day ,thru this and informed her, of what you wanted her to know. Which was-and I quoted you with, Mom I'm wiser'I'm stronger,I'm better, so much better. Remember Sean, You will never be forgotten...........we will always carry you in our hearts..I will take care of your sweet Mom!
Love you ALWAYS,Auntee G-a-i-L

Sean and Hector, I miss you both. My heart hurts now everytime I think of you. My memories of you Sean are sweet and puts a smile of my face. When you all came home for Christmas (2007) I wasn't able to enjoy the family celebration because I was sick but I made it a point to see you at Mother's Dear's before you left for Potomac. We talked and laughed, as usual, as you were packing and enjoying your Ipod. I will always remember that day for the rest of my life. I'm glad that our family has a habit of telling each other that we love them before we part ways. Even though the pain is undescribable sometimes, God is my strength. I MISS YOU, Auntie Tiny.

Dear Sean,
I miss you very much. You were very important to me and everybody in my family. I know that you are watching over us right now and please if you see your mother, pray for her. All of us miss you very much. The last time I can remember seeing you is at the Christmas party. I remember giving you that last hug. It will be a memory to me forever. Again, I miss you and I love you. I'll see you later on in my life. You were very kind and you would always brighten me up. I love you, Sean!

Sean-Sean, my baby cousin.
You will be deeply, deeply missed here on earth. I can recall when you came home to Chicago on christmas break 2007, how mature I'd thought you'd gotten. How you'd grown into this beautiful meek, thoughtful & considerate young man. You had such a warm & loving spirit. Always wanting to hang out and spend time with your family when you came to Chicago. The last time I saw you was when I came to visit in February. I believe it was around the 24th. I can recall seeing you in your school uniform getting ready to head back to school at RMA. Your mom had just made a big dinner & had bought a nice cheesecake from the cheese cake factory for Corey for his birthday because it was his favorite. You wanted to eat the cheesecake before Corey got the first piece. You were so hularious at that time, with your innocent expressions. I can remember saying before you left, that I'd just gotten a new blackberry phone & this was the first time in a very long time that I'd seen you and your siblings together all at once. I'd taken a picture with my phone of you, Corey and Kenge and told you guys that I would name it "brothers, together forever" because I wasn't sure, when I'd see you guys like that again. Only God new that that would be the last time you brothers would be togther!
I miss you! I miss your dark eyes as they give direct contact into mine as we hold a conversation. I miss your considerate ways & your compliments-telling me how nice I look when I didn't fell like I did. I miss you telling me how good my cooking was & that you'd eat the left overs if no one else would.
I miss everything about you Sean-Sean! I can't wait to be able to talk with you again and enjoy those special moments.
Hold my spot baby cousin, I know we will meet again!
With ALL of my love,
Kee-Kee

SEAN...my beloved nephew...and truly an amazing person. First, I would like to thank everyone who shares with our family in offering their condolences as well as their heart felt sympathy. I just wanted everyone to know that many tears have been shed and we still shed them, but we know and believe in "that blessed hope" that TRULY, someday, we will meet up with Sean again. As they say, "Earth's lost, but heaven's gain"....and God has a meeting place prepared for those who love and trust in Him. (PTL!) Before closing, I would like to recall my recent times and conversations with Sean. Christmas was truly a blessing...because only God Almighty knew that it would be the last time that I would see Sean (here on earth)...but I recall him saying to me on Christmas that we were just too far away (distance)and that our families needed to see each other more and become closer...Yes, I was amazed at the way this conversation was going, because I hadn't heard Sean say that much to me before and sounded so serious...I told Trina that he had really matured. ...(also, at Christmas, my feet were swollen from my train ride and I was given a pair of comfortable shoes of Sean's which I have at my house now. (a keepsake :) But, anyway,...my last conversation with Sean, he was away at school and during our talk about ROTC and the military, he told me that he wanted to be a Commander, "yeah", he said, "that's what I want to be....and so on my keychain w/pic of Sean are these words, "Commander of the Skies"...because my consolation is that although it was a dark night when Sean left here...there was something supernatural within him that cried out into the true and ever present living God...and that call commanded the skies to open up, and the glory of the Lord shone through...and the angels sang as the skies gave way...and the Captain of the host (JESUS)scattered the enemies in the heavenlies and Sean was caught up in the safety of our SAVIOUR's eternal arms!!!!!!....as He welcomed Sean into His eternal peace. (PRAISE THE PRINCE OF PEACE!!, because this family.... NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT YOU! ....IN CLOSING, here's a tribute to Sean for his endeavors and sacrifices that he made in his young life, SOMETHING TO MENTION***** HE WORKED AS A VOLUNTEER AT THE POTOMAC NURSING HOME - ALSO, VOLUNTEERED AT THE MANNER FOOD CENTER IN ROCKVILLE - SPONSORED A FOOD DRIVE AT CHURCHILL HIGH SCHOOL (COLLECTED TONS OF FOOD) - HE ASSISTED HIS MOTHER IN STREET MINISTER IN THE WASHINGTON D.C./MARYLAND AREA (DISTRIBUTED FOOD, CLOTHING AND HE SHARED THE LOVE OF GOD WITH MANY.. WITHOUT EVER MURMURING OR COMPLAINING.)...AT A YOUNG AGE, SEAN SET AN EXAMPLE AND HIS WORK WAS COMPLETE...AND SO I SAY...UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, NEPHEW,PLEASE KEEP PRAYING FOR US!...(and I'm keeping my promise to always keep in touch) WITH LOVE AND SWEET MEMORIES

Dear Sean:
I am going to miss you. We didn't get to see eachother often, as you got older and I moved away; but I remember your smile. Every since you were a baby, your smile, and your laugh lit up the room. It was a joyful smile. I'll miss you. Love Always~Peaches.

My cousin, Sean, was a unique character. I remember when he was born. I remember thinking, "He has the whole month of October to himself!" No one else in our family had his birthday month (and still doesn't, I believe). When he grew older I was fascinated with the way he talked. He talked as if he had a Boston (East Coast) accent. Sean was soooo special. He was quiet like his Dad, and so intelligent, like his Dad as well. I remember when he used to come home to Chicago with Amira and they would come to my house to play with my children. Sean would say that he would spend the night, but when it became dark outside, he would want his mom! Or he would wait until she got in her car and change his mind and go with her instead. He loved his mom! Sean will be missed as my cousin who was almost like a son to me. I remember when he was younger he wanted to know if I was his auntie or his cousin. He loved playing with his younger cousins and couldn't wait to see his family in Chicago. We greatly miss him and will NEVER forget him with his charm, smile, and goofy laugh! We love you Seany!!!! Our Sean-Sean! Love, Prettie (Nakia)

Mrs. Collison,
Your husband was the physician for both of my parents. I am sorry for your loss.
Only one who has lost a child can truly understand your anguish. I pray that peace will find you, and that strength will come to you for the journey. My son, too, was named Sean, and left far too early in life. God be with you.
