Shawn let me be the first to light a candle for you. We all miss you so much, but I suspect you know that. This is a loss that has been incomprehensible to both of your families. Your death has left us so desolate at times. We will be okay someday. I know that you were committed to the mission and did like being a Marine. I thank you for all that you did. Look out for Mimi. She misses you more than I can fathom. God Bless. Your mom-in-law.
