Oh Emily we so very sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a spouse,so does Corwin.sending hugs and prayers Bonnie
Emily and family, I am sooo sorry for your loss. I worked closely with Shaun for a few years and it was the best time of my career. Daily laughs and nit picking each other was a constant. The Christmas cards he started and Emily joined were one of a kind! He will be dearly missed by so many people! Hugs to u all!
My deepest condolences and prayers for you and your family
I was deeply saddened to hear about Shaun passing. He and I worked side by side at Ryder Logistics in Waterloo for nearly twenty years, and over that time he became a true friend.
We shared a lot of laughs on the job. Shaun had that perfectly dry sense of humor that always caught you off guard. I can still picture him sitting there with his big bag of trail mix, munching away between his hot calls. Between those same busy calls, we’d always sneak out for a quick smoke together. Those little moments are some of my favorite memories of him.
Shaun was one of those rare people that everyone genuinely liked. He made those long years at work better, and I’ll always be grateful for the friendship we had.
My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Gibby
We only met Shaun a couple of times. I’m sorry that we could not have had more. We are so very sorry for your loss; we know how much he will be missed by all his family.
Emily, May my words bring comfort. Knowing Shaun since he was born, I watched him grow into such an amazing and wonderful person. My respect and admiration of him continually grew greater. How I’ll miss his unmatchable humour while my heart will forever ache, Sending you love and strength.
I didn’t know Shaun very well, but if his obituary and the lovely messages of condolences are any indication then it is safe to say that he lived a life well-loved, which is all that any of us could have asked for him. My deepest condolences to his friends and his family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your pictures were always so beautiful and happy. You’re in my prayers.
Send prayers to you and your family Emily.
I am so sorry to hear this, Emily. My prayers are with you.
Oh, my dear Emily, I am so SORRY!! You have my sympathies, thoughts, and prayers. My ear and shoulder are here for you anytime!!!!
What a wonderful person Shaun was and he will be so greatly missed. He gave of himself so freely and generously. Those of us who knew him are better because of him. I will especially remember his kindness and quirky sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with you Emily, and with all his family and friends.
Oh Emily I am so sorry to hear this it breaks my heart for you!
