Being very distant away in Indiana, death is still a shock and hard to place into words of any substantial meaning. Having lost my father at the age of 17, I know how it has hit his family with such deep pain, confusion and disorientation. My deepest condolences goes out the the grieving family. I hope and pray that there is some type of structural strength that can be gleaned from the immediate family in Arizona. I know that John will do the best of his ability to help fill the terrible sudden gap that has been created with the loss of Shaun. If there could be a silver lining somewhere in all of the pain & suffering, it is that Shaun's suffering and pain has ended. But, how do the living continue forward? To this day I do not fully understand the process. With all of the death that has followed me, the saving grace that has been bequeathed to me has been finding some type of super natural strength through the Church. To think of the Church as a saving port during a horrible storm is where I found the strength, guidance and courage to continue forward on life's journey. During this dark time of pain and suffering, I hope all of you also find a port for refuge during this stormy period of your lives. John knows the WAY, lean on him. He has weathered this tragedy before, he is strong and his shoulders are broad - use him during your period of weakness and uncertainty
