The Lord has taken him to a more comfortable place to be with his twin girls for a little pre-mortal existance lesson or two. There is NO DOUBT in my mind or anyone else who attended to his needs the past 2 1/2 years that you (Karen the great) were the one to make it happen and keep his spirits up as he traveled from city to city for more testing. His life was and is still very precious to me as his father and I'm sure others as well. <br /><br />He was such a good human being that we often overlooked how nice he handled others with the love of Christ. I will forever miss you pal, but I will also see you soon!<br /><br />Love you Pal, POPSJeff Martellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971603056272300955.post-73272517798858097742010-06-12T02:11:02.175-07:002010-06-12T02:11:02.175-07:00Sean.

He always came across as honest, intelligent, and funny. I know that he had a long, arduous fight with cancer, but his good spirits throughout it all were astounding. It is a credit to you and your families that he was able to remain so upbeat for so long, in the face of such an overwhelming fight. He was truly blessed to have you in his life.<br /><br />My deepest condolences to you and the rest of Sean's family and friends.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503111452657923305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971603056272300955.post-90435613858444739802010-06-01T10:02:37.885-07:002010-06-01T10:02:37.885-07:00Karen,

I have a lot of great memories of playing video games together with Sean over the past years. <br /><br />Eventhough I never had the opportunity to meet him in 'real life', I've always considered him a 'real friend'. <br /><br />I've always admired Sean for his sense of humor, his easy going nature, and his perserverance when facing tremendous personal difficulties. I feel fortunate to have known someone like him. <br /><br />My deepest most heartfelt condolences. Both you and your children are in my prayers.
