A very good net friend had this memorial made for Shawn.
Thank you Charlotte, I really appreciate it.
MY LITTLE BOY
SHAWN LOVED LIFE AS WELL AS HIS FELLOW
MAN. WITH A
HEART AS BIG AS "OUTDOORS"
HE WAS ALWAYS
BRINGING HOME
STRAYS... FROM ANIMALS TO BOYS. ALL HE
NEEDED TO KNOW WAS, THAT SOMEONE WAS HAVING
TROUBLE.
SHAWN LOVED COMPUTERS FROM AN EARLY AGE
AND THIS
LOVE OF COMPUTERS, EVENTUALLY TURNED INTO
A CAREER.
HIS MAIN LOVE HOWEVER, WAS HIS SON. FROM
THE VERY BEGINNING HE BECAME THE LOVE OF HIS
LIFE.
ALTHOUGH INVOLVED IN HIS COMMUNITY SHAWN WAS A FAMILY MAN. HIS
FAMILY MEANT EVERYTHING TO HIM AND HE ESPECIALLY LOVED
GOING TO
LAMPASAS AND VISITING HIS GRANDMOTHER,
PLAYING GAMES AND TALKING UNTIL ALL HOURS OF THE
NIGHT.
I HAVE ALWAYS CALLED SHAWN "MY LITTLE
BOY", HOWEVER, AT 6'8" AND 240# THERE WAS NOTHING LITTLE
ABOUT HIM.
LOVE
MOMA
The above was written for his memorial
service and it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to
do.
When ever Shawn would get ready to leave
after visiting his father and I he'd always tell
us
"See you later, bye"
Well, Shawn this time we must say, "See
you later, bye".
The next pages contain original poetry. The first
is A
Mother's Tears I wrote this one as a way of coming to grips with
Shawn's death.
The next poem is entitled, "Uncle John
Remembers"
This was written in memory of Shawn for his Uncle John
by Tommie Granger, a family friend and is very much appreciated.
