I want to pay my respects and give my condolences to all of you. I can totally understand the pain of losing a child but I must say that after all I have heard about Sean he was an amazing guy who would do anything in the world to give or even help someone in any sort of way. I am always here to reach and just to talk to if you may need any comfort in any sort of way. May you rest easy up there Sean and watch over everyone and always give them signs so that they know that you are still around and watching over everything and everyone. Love you all. God bless.
