I am one of Sallie and Keith Lowery's neighbors,actually living right next door to them...on Lois Lane in Lanham,MD.
They are known to be spontaneuosly kind and approachable,generous with their time and hearts and whatever they can offer of themselves ,I can attest to that personally, on several occasions,
not forgotten and so appreciated in the years since we have become neighbors.
I was so saddened for them and their family and friends at the suddden passing of their son Sean,who used to visit his parents with his own little son Sean...
I watched Sean teaching his little boy how to play baseball in his parent's back yard,how to learn to ride a bike in the street..I remember them laughing together,their happy voices floating in the air...!
I didn't know them ,but I saw them and heard them, just happy to be together.
That is how I will personally remember Sean,obviously so sadly missed a year later now,by so many people whose lives he touched so closely and forever.
Sean looked and behaved like his Mom and Dad,creating a wonderful blend of their united qualities...and that is what made him special, as their son.
I will always remember hearing him laugh when he was outside!
That is a nice memory of him for me.
And so Sallie and Keith, I always remember you and your family in my prayers and hope that the sharp edges that such pain as this is inflicts in your hearts will dull somewhat in time, as you live on together without his presence here.
He surely lives on in your minds,hearts and souls.
Sincerely,
Ingrid Lindauer and son,Torin and Matthew and Ginger Ridgely,my daughter and son_in_law in
Lanham,MD ,Annapolis Md and Baltimore Md.

Dear Sean,
Mom's meatballs, Italian sausage, the thick spagetti you always liked, and of course, chocolate brownies(!). Your Mom and Dad shared this meal in memory of you tonight. We cherish that smile that can't be erased from anyone's mind that ever met you...
Sallie and Keith,
Not a day goes by that
I don't think of you and Sean. You are always in my prayers. Memories...

Dear Sean,
Well it has been a year now and it still seems like yesterday. Just knowing that you are gone is so hard to believe. But I know that you are in a better place. You are not hurting anymore. There was a reason god took you so young. I guess we will know the reason someday. I beleive god had a very big job for you in heaven. He needed you to prepare a very big house for all of us to be together someday.So i will not be sad anymore because i will see you again someday. So i will not say goodbye honey I'll say see you later.
Sallie and Keith:
I just wanted you two to know that I'll be here for both of you always. I love you guys so much.
Love Judy Shell

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Sean it's been a year and it feels like yesterday. It's hard to let go. I'll see you again, your friend.

Dear Sean:
I can't believe you left us a year ago today. It seems like yesterday that we were all sitting on mom and dads porch in DE laughing and loving life. You always made me laugh Sean!! One of the many many wonderful attributes I loved about you..
I hope you are at peace and in a better place Sean and I truly hope and pray you can somehow see your family and friends and know that we keep your sprit and memory alive day after day. There hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't thought of you and pictured that rascally smile that only you could produce. I'm chuckling now picturing that contagious smile you had...
Thanks for the laughter Sean and especially for your lasting memory.
All my Love,
Uncle Jimmy

Sean,
I can't believe its already been a year. I miss you and that laugh more and more each day. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. I love you.
"For just a moment
I’m sure I saw
a flicker of light ahead.
Perhaps it was your smile.
Though past now, remembered,
in my heart
like the small sound of
a butterfly passing by." ~unknown
Keith & Sallie - You are in my thoughts. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you.Those shall live inside us till the end of eternity.
They become our comforters.
Let your tears come & water your soul.

August 31, 2006
Good morning. For those of you I haven’t met yet, my name is Brian and I was Sean’s older brother. When I got married last August, I was honored to have Sean give the toast at my wedding, wishing me much happiness and welcoming my wife Laura as his new sister. I am here to speak for him today.
The past few weeks have seen our family overjoyed at the news that my wife and I would be welcoming a new member into our family in March 2007, and devastated at the loss of Sean Michael who we had welcomed into our family in March of 1978. When Sean heard that he was going to become an uncle, he was not only very happy, he had to rib me “that it was about time.” Nouns that describe who Sean was in life would be father, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, student, employee, and friend. But it is the adjectives that best describe who Sean really was. Sean was loving, devoted, caring, fun-loving, risk-taking, unique, mischievous, leading, dedicated, athletic, outgoing, generous and friendly to name a few.
Sean was a loving and proud father of Little Sean. He became a father at an early age, but embraced being a father and enjoyed the times and activities that he shared with little Sean. From changing Little Sean’s diaper, to watching him play football, and just enjoying the father son times, Big Sean was involved in Little Sean’s life. Big Sean and Little Sean hatched up the plan to give my Mom the “gift that kept on giving” by selecting Buddy, a Westie terrier, and then presenting Buddy as a birthday present to her. Bear appeared at the Loughery household courtesy of Sean also. Bear escaped one day and ran into the woods with our grandfather Pop-Pop Manuel chasing him and then saying “only for you Sean Michael, only for you Sean Michael would I do this.” One summer when Big Sean was working in Ocean City, he had Little Sean with him and Max their dog, Max dived off the pier followed by Little Sean, and then Big Sean. We’re not sure if both Big and Little Sean were trying to rescue Max or just trying to cool off, but they sure had fun and many laughs in describing the scene. Big Sean was a reluctant student, but that all changed when Little Sean started school. This past June saw Big Sean as the proud father as he watched Little Sean graduate from elementary school. Last week Little Sean announced that he needed a graphing calculator and despite Big Sean’s belongings being scattered in several locations he found his own graphing calculator to give to Little Sean. Big Sean’s love of certain foods was passed on to Little Sean. Pasta and macaroni and cheese were favorites, as well as hard shell crabs and fried chicken. Father and son shared special times and became regulars at the Applebee’s in Damascus. They were on first name basis with the staff and had their own booth.
Sean’s love for his parents was shown in his own unique way. When his father was to undergo surgery, Sean would not come to the hospital until after he had cut the grass at their house. My Dad told Sean that he had better not do figure eights with the tractor. Sean and my Mom recently spent a day in which Sean purchased a new car and took his mother “crusing” in it. Recently, when Mom had surgery he came over and hooked up one of his big screen TVs in her bedroom, so she wouldn’t have to get out of bed to watch TV. One special trait of Sean’s was that he always ended his telephone conversation to our parents with the statement “I love you,” even if, as he did good-naturedly, he had been threatening to send them to the Shady Pines Retirement Home. When my Mom was pregnant with Sean she was convinced that she was having a daughter, who she wanted to name Amy Lynn and take shopping. Sean became Mom’s shopping companion, and aided her in bringing in their purchases before my Dad saw them. He recently spent some time at our parent’s home in Delaware assisting them in doing some things around the place. One of his projects was to paint an aluminum star that they wanted to hang on the outside of the house. He not only painted the star, but left a star shaped impression painted in their grass. Sean knew that the best way to avoid being turned down by our parents was to show up in person and ask. Recently, he went to my Dad’s office and not only got some money from Dad, but also had all the female tellers wanting to know who he was and how soon it would be before he returned for another visit. Sean’s love of adventure led him to try many fast paced activities, but his parents never found out about them until after he performed them.
During the last several days we have been reminiscing about our many “Sean stories”, and one that had us laughing till we were crying was the 7-Eleven Escape. Sean and his cousin Wendy, who were about 10, convinced me, always the rule-abiding one at age 12 and Sara age 7; that my mom didn’t really mean that all four of us couldn’t deliver the early morning Washington Post on our paper route. The four of us got ready to sneak out of the house, when three year old Elizabeth also woke up and threatened to tell on us unless we took her also, and we did. After walking several miles we ended up at the local 7-Eleven, when Elizabeth developed a bloody nose and we were forced to call my Mom. After chewing out four of the five escapees, my mom felt that she had put the fear of God in us and we wouldn’t do it again. But of course we did. Sean loved to tease his cousins, but he also watched out for them when he was with them. In addition, Sean also assisted in looking out for his grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, and many neighbors. Sean was always ready to lend a hand.
Sean attended Capitol Heights Elementary, Kenmore Middle, and Parkdale High School where he played football. Throughout those years and his years spent working he made and kept many friends. He developed close relationships not only with his friends but with their parents. We have been truly amazed and comforted at the outpouring of emotions from his friends, their families, and his employers and coworkers. It has meant so much to us and confirms our belief that Sean was a well-loved young man, and had a circle of friends that meant a great deal to him.
Anyone who knew both my brother and me could tell you that we weren’t exactly two peas in a pod. Like any brothers who loved each other dearly, we constantly fought and wrestled as we grew up together. This continued until we were just big enough to be dangerous to those around us; my Dad can attest to this, as he broke two fingers pulling us apart. I think that was the last time we fought like that, though my Dad still has pins in his fingers courtesy of his two sons.
Sean and I didn’t always see eye to eye and we often made contrasting choices in life. I used to tell people that we were as different as night and day, but that wasn’t really true. We were actually two halves of a whole, each with our own strengths and weaknesses. We were more alike than I sometimes liked to admit. He would be there when I needed him and I always tried to be there for Sean.
A part of me has been lost with him. That empty spot can now only be filled with memories of my brother. I know that everyone here has their own emptiness and I encourage you all to fill that place with happy memories of Sean.
I’ve tried to find some meaning in his death, some way to explain why he was taken from us so early. I believe that Sean can teach us all just how important it is to live our own lives to the fullest. Because as anyone who knew Sean could tell you, he loved life. He was constantly on the go, traveling to new places, trying new things, meeting new people and making new friends. His laugh was infectious, and he was always quick to make a joke and enjoy himself wherever he was. He worked hard, but played harder.
So as we leave here today to say our final goodbyes, I want you all to remember Sean’s example: live your lives to the fullest, because life is precious. We have all been made richer by Sean’s life and as long as we remember him as the lovable character he was, he will always be with us.
We wish to take this opportunity that despite our grief in losing Sean; we really appreciate the many outpourings of sympathy. It has been extremely comforting to us to know that so many of you share in our loss. As in Sean’s case life was too short, we ask that you not only remember Sean and his zest for life, but that you let those you love know that they are loved, whether it be in a simple gesture or ending a conversation as Sean did to his parents that he loved them.
I love you Sean. Your spirit is now free, but you will always be missed.

Sean, The months just go by and I still can't believe you're gone. I think about you everyday. I've written several times and then I just delete the messages. The heartbreak is still very real. We all miss you so much. I spent the weekend with your parents and Little Sean at the beach. We had a nice time, but the lack of your presence is a constant reminder of what we are all missing. I love looking at the wonderful pictures of you with all of your friends and just you and Little Sean. Little Sean has a very warm, kind and sweet demeanor, and is just as good looking as you. And what a sense of humor. He kept us in stitches. I pray that you are at peace and wonder often if you miss us as much as we miss you. Your new neice is just beautiful. It's too bad there is such an age difference between her and little Sean. I know that both Little Sean and Taryn will always have you to watch over them and keep them safe. I hope you and Tom bring as much fun and joy in heaven as you both brought here.
Missing you all the time. Love, Anut Donnette

Sean- Tomorrow will be 6 months. You have left a hole in our hearts that may never be filled. There isn't a moment in each day that passes that I don't think of you. I miss you...-kell
January 4, 2007
Sean, I have come to the conclusion that time doesn't make things better or help with the pain. It only gets harder. I miss our friendship and a day doesn't go by where I don't think about you or the memories. I know you hear me talk to you every day and one day I will see you again. There is a void in this world that can't be filled. You are missed.

Sean, I can't believe it's been 3 months. I miss you with all my heart...sometimes this all still does not seem real. There isn't a day that passes that I don't think of you. This Christmas will be the first in five years that I won't spend with you, but I will have to remember the happy ones we did share together. I pray every day that you are at peace. We all miss you so much.
love- kell

Dear Sean,
Today is Little Sean's 12th birthday and it's happy and sad moments I'm feeling today. Oh how proud you were of Little Sean, and you should be. He is doing amazingly well, but he misses you so, as we all do. Your brother has been taking Little Sean to the Redskin games and everyone is here for him. I love you and miss you and still find it hard to believe that you aren't coming through the door asking "What's to eat?".
Love
Mom

Sean, we were very fortunate to have not only three wonderful daughters, but two outstanding young men who were more like sons than nephews. We really appreciate that not only did you look out for your cousins as a brother would, but that you looked out for us. It is still hard to believe after three months that you aren't here to ask about your cousins or talking with us about the Redskins. We were truly honored to be your aunt and uncle.
Sallie Ann, Keith, Brian, Laura, and Little Sean - you already know that not only was Sean Michael a very special person, but that we wll always be there for you. Your loss is our loss and not a day has gone bye that we don't think of Sean. We feel fortunate and blessed that we were able to watch Sean grow from a baby to to a very special person. He loved each of you, and I know that you treasure your memories of him, just as we do. Words can not adequately express our feelings, but we hope that you realize that our love for each and every one of you will be with you daily.
All our love,
Barb and Denis

Sean Michael, I don't think you could begin to understand the void you have left in people's lives. For me, I lost my cousin, my brother, my friend, one of the five. You had the ability to bring us, the family together. I will always remember that in '87, when you were a cool 9 year old and I was a shy 7 year old you took the time to play Barbie's with me. You were the first person that ever let me drive a car and you took the time to surprise me for my 21st bday and come down to JMU w/ Wendy and Aaron. I still remember where I was when you called to ask my help in getting your pooltable that was out here in LA. You were one of my biggest supporters always calling to check in on me out here talking and planning what we would do when you come to visit. I will miss you beyond words, but I know that you're with Pop-Pop and he'll keep you safe and out of trouble. I love you Sean.
Aunt Sallie, Uncle Keith, Brian, Laura, and Little Sean, I will always be here for you even though I am far away. We all loved Sean and we loved him well and he will always be in our hearts.

Sean, You were a wonderful cousin; but, more importantly, you were my friend. I will cherish all of the memories we made together – whether we were trying to come up with some scheme or joke to make our family gatherings more interesting, partying together at Virginia Tech or Damascus, or just talking. I will miss you very much.
Aunt Sallie, Uncle Keith, Brian, Laura, and Little Sean, Sean touched so many people throughout his life and we will always keep him alive in our hearts and with our precious memories. Please remember that Aaron and I are always here for you. We love you.

You are a man of great character and humor, which truly only few men posess. We will ultimately have another day to talk football, and another hand of 8-10 suited to play at the poker table. You are hugely missed brother.

To Sallie, Keith, Brian, Little Sean, Laura, and Kellie. Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for the loss of Sean. Anybody that knew him came under his spell. From the moment he was born to the wonderful young man he became, he had those sprakling eyes and that irresistable charm! He leaves us all with broken hearts. My family was truly blessed to have shared so many wonderful years and memories with all of you. Our kids will always have stories to tell and boy I bet they could tell some. Sean, we will love you and miss you forever, and we pray that you are finally at peace. We will always be there for your family. May God Bless all of you and bring you comfort from his memories.

I would like to offer you my sincere condolences and know that with all of the wonderful memories and many friends your son left behind, he was surrounded with love, not only yours but many others.

Dear Sallie, Keith, Bryan, Laura & little Sean,
My heartfelt sympathy to you all. Sean was a fine young man and always treated me with respect. Each & every time I look up at that maroon star on your house next door, I see him on the ladder securing it so it won't blow away during one of the hurricanes that blow through here once in a while. I will miss him and I will meet with him down the road some day. God Bless You all, Love, Ron

Say the word and we'll come running. Our love goes out to you all. Your cousins,Tony and Beth

We unfortunately did not get to know Sean as well as the rest of our family members,howver, the times we were around him and the few times he was at our house with the family for gatherings we knew what a terrific person he was and how much he and Kelli meant to each other and what a good father he was to Little Sean. Our prayers and thoughts to all of you.

This is something I never thought I'd live to see...it's unbelievable the number of times our circle has had to burry someone much too soon. I remember the first time we met like it was yesterday...it was 1994 and you had wrecked your cavalier and came to my house with your dad to have my dad fix it back up again...the next thing I knew, you were not only among my circle of best friends, but also a part of our family. Sean, I will never understand - but we all know and take comfort that you're with Rob and that someday in the future we'll all be together again - just like old times!
We miss knowing that you were just a chance meeting away. When we ran into each other the last time around they were all so happy to hear how you were doing. I'm not sure you ever knew how much you meant to my family; my father loved you like his own and was always routing for you, and Jennie adored you like the big brother we never had - we didn't take just anyone on family vacations with us! Thank you for those memories - I'll never forget them...nor will my family.
My deepest condolences to your family - and to all of your friends who you were still so close to...may you all have comfort in your memories.

To the Loughery Family, little Sean, Kelli, and friends:
Forever etched in my memory of Sean will be his warm smile and his gentle nature. His kindness touched my entire family and he will be truly missed. May we all find peace in the wonderful memories he left with us.

Dear Sallie,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family in the sudden loss of your beloved Sean. I pray that God will heal your broken heart and replace the pain with beautiful memories.

Where do I start:
Sean, our "list" wasn't finished yet. Next time we see each other will have to work on finishing it. The last 10 years have been great. You are the closest friend that I have and I'll miss talking to you. You are always the first person to stand behind me without hesitation. You are always there to help me, get me out of trouble, and support me any time I need it. Thank you for that and for all the memories you have left me with, living with you, fishing, riding our motorcycles, riding our mountain bikes, playing cards, and so much else. I know that you already know all of this but I wish I would have said it sooner and more often. "Thanks"
Thank you again, you have impacted my life and given me memories that I will never forget. We will all miss you every day.
To the Loughery family, little Sean, Kel, and everyone else Sean touched. Sean is the most giving, caring, and warm hearted person I know. He loved his family and friends, and always spoke highly of you all. I am sorry.

Nothing can replace the loss of of a family member, but then I realized that Sean has left us more than his death has taken away. He has bequeathed a love and warmth memories that I am sure are everlasting.

Sean.. You leave me with so many memories. I love you and will miss you deeply. I remember when you stayed with Gus and I in Mt. Airy. How you brought me chicken nuggets and pickles when I was pregnant with Kelly. How you helped me fix dinner and helped Gus around the house. All the great times we all had hanging out. You were such a great friend to us both. I will cherish all the good times we shared forever in my heart. Give Gus a hug for me and may God comfort you both.
To the Loughery family.. Words cannot express what you are going through. Sean meant so much to Gus and I. The thing I remember most about Sean was his smile and big hugs. I know the pain that you feel and pray that God comfort you both and Little Sean. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Sallie and family, I've never had the pleasure of meeting you but I knew your wonderful son. Sean and my two boys (Tim and Phil Lewis) would come to our house and they were often laughing and enjoying themselves. I loved Sean's friendly smile and easy going disposition. He was a fine young man whom my wife and I came to care deeply for. We will miss him. Our hearts break with your's and our prayers are with you that "the God of all comfort" and His Son Jesus Christ will hold you close and walk with you in the coming days and give you the encouragement you need as he has promised.

Mr. and Mrs. Loughery,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during your time of sorrow. We also lost our son Gus this year in the same manner that you have lost Sean. Gus and Sean were good friends; in fact, Sean was in Gus’s wedding. Sean was always a gentleman and treated us with the utmost respect. May God comfort your family as he has comforted ours.

Keith, Sally, Kelli and little Sean,
Sean has been a best friend to me for almost ten years. Sean was always ready to do anything for a friend. I can't even remember all the times he helped me in some way. We shared many wonderful and meaningful times together. Sean was always enthusiastic and full of life. He always left an impression wherever he went. I will miss our crazy nights out, our jogs and hikes, our deep conversations and our ever so random road trips! Catch you on the flip side man! Your sincere friend, (Big) Phil Lewis
My deepest sympathy goes out to you Keith, Sally, Kelli and Little Sean.

Hi Sallie,
Am so sorry to hear about your son. It is so hard when you are a parent to face the death of your child, and I certainly can't say that it will get better in time, but we can try to keep the memories alive in our homes and our hearts. My heart goes out to you because you certainly have been a great friend in working with you and knowing you as a person. May you find the strength that is needed to go forth in the following days and I know the Lord is looking out for your family in this time of sorrow. Love Ruth Kemp (Wells now)

From the moment you were born you gave Dad and me so much happiness. Our lives were never dull with you around! You were a delightful son and a devoted father to Little Sean. Our lives will never be the same for a part of us died with you. We thank God he gave us 28 wonderful years with you and ask Him to help us get through the pain of not seeing you walk through the door with Little Sean & Max by your side. I know Pop-Pop & Nana are with you now and their arms are wrapped around you. There are no words to describe how much we will miss you and how empty we feel.
All our love forever - Mom & Dad

Loved by so many because love was all that Sean knew. Where ever we'd go he make a new friend because he was just that type. All my memories of Sean end with a laugh and a smile because he could always make light in any situation. I remember how much he became a part of my family as if he were just another one of us. We always used to joke and say that he was my better half-brother because my parents loved him so much. You will be deeply missed but you'll forever be welcomed as a brother in my heart. Luv ya man.
My heart goes out to his family, (little Sean) and Kelly.
