IN MEMORIAM SEAN MATTHEW STOLON January 2, 1980 December 31, 2003 It's been a year since you've been gone. I would like to say the positive memories of you, and the support and good wishes of others have eased the pain; what have learned about life and how fragile and fleeting it is has made me wiser. I would like to say that, unfortunately it's not true. What is true Sean is that you left a void that can not be filled. You left before you could realize how far you had come and how close you were to accomplishing all you wanted.
Sean, in all my years, I could only hope to achieve all the love and admiration that you had in your short 24 years as evidenced by the outpouring of emotion and support from all over the country. I think it only appropriate to celebrate this anniversary and your 25th birthday by telling you how much you are loved and missed. Also to let your family, friends, and business associates no how much their love and support have meant. I would conclude by signing love Mom Dad but that wasn't quite your style so will say: Love, your Mother, Father and little sister as well as your immediate and extended family (I wish I could list all by name but thanks for being there, you all no who your are.) When you've lost your whole life, you sometimes need help finding it again. Dealing emotionally with the loss of a loved one rarely ends with the funeral.
That's why your local Dignity funeral provider offers access to our exclusive 24-Hour Compassion staffed with professional grief counselors. So you can have someone to talk to if you need to.
