Family Tragedy

Filed under: Family, Heartache — Susan Stevenson @ 3:55 pm

SEAN STEVEN SMALLEY

APRIL 29, 1992 - AUGUST 15, 2010

Early on Saturday morning, my nephew Sean - age 18 - was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a deadly crash. The driver and another friend survived. A third friend was killed instantly. Sean was brought into the hospital alive, but 99% brain dead.

Late Saturday evening, my handsome and fun-loving nephew Sean was gone. Sean is the son of my brother Steve and my sister-in-law Diane, and the brother of Rachel.  Sean just graduated high school in June and had a promising future as a mechanic.

Please keep my brother and his family in your prayers, that they may find the strength to get through this sorrowful time in their lives.

No words could express the sadness we all feel in our hearts. Rest peacefully, Sean.  We love you and miss you terribly.

  8. Susan, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. When something like this happens to someone so young I am struck with the thought that they were just too good for this world so God allowed them to go home early. I hope it brings you comfort to know that your nephew will be met by your Mother and all the family members who went before. I wish you peace and comfort and offer my heartfelt sympathy.
