You've always been a really good friend of me ever since we were children. I can't imagine a life without you in it! Even though my world just got a little darker heaven gained a star and having just got a little brighter! I can't express all the things menu went through as we grew into adults! You are my date to the senior prom and that's something I'll never forget even though it made your mom really angry to know we were dating! Lol! That is the years pass my children grew up to know you as Uncle Shawn. Even now it's hard for me to grasp that you're no longer here as it hasn't been that long ago since I was home for a visit and the first person to greet me with you! I feel like a part of me has died along with you just because you were such an integral part of my life but I know you're no longer in pain and no more suffering and you're with up in heaven with your mom and dad and Rita! Rest in peace my dear friend Paul for I will always think of you fondly! Love you always Cindy

To my buddy Shawn,
This isn’t goodbye—it’s “see you later.”
I know heaven’s a bit brighter with you there!
I will never forget the day we went to carwash🤣 —a treasured memory that still makes me smile and laugh-lol! You were the most positive light everyday and everyone who knew you loved you very much!
From the first day we met, you've been a constant reminder of what it means to live with purpose and joy, happily everyday! You blessed everyone who knew you!
So, for now it’s see ya later, until we meet again, God be with you.
With love and a smile,
Vania 😘
