Bruce & Sheena, We are very sorry to hear of Shawn’s passing. I remember the day we baptized Shawn and how happy he was that day. Today he is not in a wheelchair anymore, PTL! He is in heaven with all those who preceded him. We love you all!
Our time with Shawn was too short at Blue Ridge Homes. It was such a pleasure to know him. He knew how to light up a room and will truly be missed.
So sorry for your loss and thinking of you.
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
With our deepest symphany you are in our thoughts and prayers.
