Sending my heartfelt condolences to Shawn's family and loved ones. Remembering his huge smile and his kindness. A little over two years ago, I saw him at the garage working on cars. We talked for a long time catching up on each other's lives. I'm so glad we were given the opportunity to see one another one last time. RIP Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Jacky
