Dear Dennis and Tracy,

I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Ryan and Sean as two beautiful little boys I last saw quite a few years ago before you moved to Colorado. I know they've both grown into fine young men. My thoughts are with you and with Ryan at this difficult time.

I went to school with Sean at CIVA High School and he was a great person and a great student. He loved to learn but he also always loved to make people laugh. He was very bright and always had a smile on his face. There is alot of people who will miss him dearly. He had alot of friends at CIVA. What a great guy.

To Sean,

You were a man of many great qualities and achievements. I always felt like you had the most potential out of all my friends. Although your life was cut short and it pains me to see you leave, I am still filled with joy to know your among the angels in the heavens with God by your side. You will be remembered forever by your family, your friends, and myself as the man we all loved.

To Dennis, Tracy, and Ryan:

My heart goes out to you all. I hope you all know that I am here for you if you need anything at all and I will pray for you everynight.
