December 5, 2022 at 9:37 amShawn was an amazing friend friend and a fantastic co-worker. He had a warm smile a gentle attitude and a deeply caring heart. He made each person feel like they were special to him and him alone. When Shawn and Leanne met at the nursing home you could see an automatic spark between them and it was so beautiful to watch. God be with you Leanne and know that all of your co-workers feel and mourn your loss with you.
