Shawn, not a day goes by that I don't think about you. You were my best friend. It's been 10 years and I still miss you so much. I moved to Colorado after graduation because you grew up here. Your happiness and joy; I knew there was something special about this place.
By the way, shortly after your passing, I stopped by Dr. Austin's office. We got 100% on that last team project with Sterling. He was just as devastated as I was. We miss you out here man. I ran into Garrick a few months ago in the rink wearing my ERAU jersey out here. He recognized me because of it.
Keep heaven warm for us!
