Oh Shaney, you were the funniest person I know. You were my second dad, and you meant the world to me. It's hard to imagine having the rest of my life without you in it. All the times we came over for cookouts or to play Magic. We always went to the movies, you name it we did it, and we did it together as a family bc we were a family. Im going to miss ya. Love ya pops.

To Donna & Family - I have been out of the country and just found out about your loss. Shane was the type of guy you immediately liked. Though it wasn't often I had the chance to visit you all with Scott, when I did, you all always welcomed me with open arms, with Shane in the forefront with some sort of joke - ALWAYS. I'm quite sure that he's up there giving Scott a hard time right now. My prayers are with you - do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything!

To Donna, Eric and Lauren,
Shane was the older brother I needed when my life had no direction. He lifted me from a dark place and put me on the straight path by showing me how to be a better person through his example and I owe EVERYTHING I have today to him. I will be there when needed and I will not fail him, or you, when you call on me. Know that what I have is yours without question and that I love you all.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know
Shane I will always remember the stories you would tell of when you first met me and I was wearing my little blue dress and a little head band. You were not only my god father but my best friend. I knew I could go to you and Donna for any anything. I will miss you and love you forever.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

You were such a wonderful person, You did so much for me and my family. We all know that you loved us. I just want you to know how much we loved you. There will never be anyone like you Shane, You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Love ya

Shaney, you were the brother I never had. You took me under your wing when I was 14 years old and kept me there until you left this life, which was much too soon. I can't express in words how much you meant to me and how much you did for me. Your a big reason that I'm the man I am today and I'll always be in your debt. No one in this world will ever have a best friend like I had in you. You were one of a kind and I'll miss terribly. I hope you and Scotty are drinking a beer while fishing with my dad. I can't wait until the day comes that I get to see you again. Love you, my brotherman!
