    If you ever sat and had a conversation with this young man, right away you would know he was wise beyond his years. I had the pleasure of knowing him and growing to love him and his siblings.

  5. Sean,
    I remember you as a feisty and incredibly sweet kindergartner. You and I spent a lot of time together in my kindergarten class and I always thought of you as one of my favorites. I remember being so excited when I found out you had moved back to GA after being away for several years and how excited your friends were that you were back! You are an incredible person and I know you are happy and flying with the angels now. Love you little guy!

  6. All kids leave a footprint in their teacher’s heart but Sean left so much more. He was full of life and I could tell even in first grade he was going to do great things. His smile would light up a room and always knew when you needed a hug. I thought about him often and still have his picture in my classroom because he always brought a smile to my face. He was loved dearly by many of us and will be missed! I will see him again one day and know he is no longer hurting. His amazing Aunt and Uncle, wonderful cousins and all those who loved him will be in my continued thoughts and prayers.

  7. Sean, I really never got the chance to really know you, but I know your spirit will flow around us to help with the sadness and loneliness. My god bless your soul

  8. Sean, Wish I could have been with you more in life. Please know that we all love and will continue to keep you in our hearts and souls. My God wrap his loving arms around you and you find the peace you seek.
    Uncle a Edward & Aunt Donna
