I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Shawn was a very loving,caring person. I came to know Shawn because I myself am battling cancer...no matter how rough he was feeling if I was having a bad day with it and he was online he would try his best to cheer me up. He was always telling me no matter how rough it gets remember there are gonna be better days ahead.Shawn will sadly be missed by many.
It will be the little things
that you will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter.
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again.
