Sean was always a thoughtful and kind person to me. I know that he will be missed. I am so sorry that the family has to go through this, but Jesus is always there wanting to help you through, if you just invite Him to be in control.He can be your comfort and peace during the grieving and healing times. You are all in our prayers.

I still remember him coming into the tobacco cage and telling Me about this sweet new black leather coach and recliner set he just got. He was so happy with it. Two weeks later He comes in again and tells me about the cutest little kitten they had adopted, he was in love. I guess it was three days later He came in and asked me if I needed another cat! I said uh-oh, what happened? Seems his precious new kitty shredded the arm of his sweet new leather coach!
He was so animated telling the story of chasing this kitten around the house, I spit half the water I was drinking on the floor. ߘ„ Sean was genuinely a good person. He will be very missed by many. I pray that God shelters his children in the days ahead. Giving the strength, healing, love, and solice. Prayers for the rest of the family as well.

Sean loved his family so much. They were everything to him. His children had a good daddy that treasured them. And I know he was treasured by his mother and father. He will be missed so much. I would like to express my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to all his family.

Sometimes, there are no adequate words to express the sorrow we feel. My heart aches for all of you. Gerri, my special friend, your faith has never been more evident than it is right now.

Gerrid,

I just learned of Sean’s passing and my heart aches for you. I am so very sorry and there are no words to express such a loss of a beautiful son.Seandid not know Sean but I knew you from church a few years back and know the kind of person you are. You were an awesome mother to him. I pray God’s comfort for you and will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers in days to come.

Dealing with the death of a loved one is so very hard to do. I hope that you find comfort in God’s promise to restore our dead loved ones to life here on the earth, never having to say goodbye again. Through God's Kingdom, Jesus will make this earth the problem-free paradise that his Father intended it to be. Until that time let your memories take you back and make you smile, let prayer bring you peace and comfort, and the support from your family and friends help you through this very difficult time.- Matthew 6:9-10; Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29

I'm left with memories….I'm left with a huge hole in my heart…I'm left wondering why….I'm left broken.
You no longer suffer….but I do.
See you soon Son. Although I know Kelley loves me, the misery does not go away.
