Nine memories of Shane M. Stinson

“

Shane,

It's been over a year and a half and the sadness never goes away. I can still visualize you coming through our front door with that shy smile of yours, the many nights you and Justin spent hour’s playing cards, laughing together and of course the “mom” jokes. Every day I see the sadness on his face. He misses you so much and on the night his son, Mason, was born his one wish was that "Uncle Shane" could have been there. You are an amazing person who gave your life so we could all live ours as we choose. Thank you so much for being such a big part of Justin, Kody, and my lives. We will never forget your sacrifice; you will be in our hearts forever. Mason will grow up knowing what an incredibly brave, loving, wonderful, thoughtful and caring person his Uncle Shane forever will be.

We love and miss you every day,
Robin
