Sean I didn't get a chance to meet you. But your mum shared many a story with me From School to your first car, to doing an apprenticeship to going off too the army. She is one proud mother. I pray that she finds the strength through time to accept you leaving so soon. And Robyn and all your family and friends can survive with all the lovely memories you created with them. God bless young man RIP 💚🤍🧡
