Frosty Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Glenn: I'm not going to add condolences to the list the shock and pain are clear and there's enough. You know how I feel. If I may I'd like to suggest a good raucus wake to celebrate Sean. Music, song, dance, drink and a properly cheerful send off for a beloved soul. I believe he'd prefer folk swapping happy memories, funny stories and tipping a toast or two to him. See you on the far side Sean.

Bentiron1946 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Glenn, I'm was really shocked to see his picture up on the forum, I grieve with you at the loss and pray that you loose you pain in God's arms. It will be a long struggle and the pain and loss will never entirely go away but will lessen. I hope and pray that all will find the strength to endure through it. I have put you all on the pray groups list at church. My wife and I will be thinking and praying for you and your family.

Larry H Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The loss seems too great to bear God sends us friends to comfort us To show that He deeply caresWhen we lose someone we love When there’s nobody else around When we feel the saddest and loneliest It’s there God’s love can be foundBut in the dark hours of the night To soothe our broken hearts The healing oil poured over us That flows into every partIt’s like a soothing, healing balm And know He’s by our side He holds us when we feel as though A part of us has diedWe can rest secure in God’s love peace be with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Sells Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 As much as we have been on the phone over this past week, you already know my feelings. The pain of losing a child has to be the worst. I will keep this post short as I believe this will end up as a very long thread before its over. My love and prayers for you and Karen, and to the extended family that I have not talked with yet.

Glenn Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 We presented 9 of the projects Sean made into Blueprints on the IForgeIron Tuesday Night Live Blueprints tonight. These blueprints were made when Sean was 9 and 10 years old. I have posted them and the links at the beginning of this thread.

Glenn Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 This evening, Sean was picked up from funeral home after being cremated. Sean has now completed his journey through life and is back home with his family. We must now wait for the urn to arrive, place him in the urn, and say one final good-by to our son.. To all of those that posted, called, emailed, sent letters, and etc, they were appreciated. To all of those that took time to think of us in their own private way, it was also appreciated. From our family to all those that have made a difference in Sean's life, THANK YOU. For all of those that have let Sean make a difference in your lives, THANK YOU.

Bentiron1946 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Glenn, I was talking to an old friend of mine today and it has been seven years since his youngest son passed away. I asked how long before it quit hurting so bad, he said it was about five years before he could not stop breaking down and crying in business meetings, dinner, church, driving the car, just anywhere. Five years is a long time. I asked if he had any advice for you and he said yes he did, pray every day, hold your wife a lot cause she is hurting, love your other family members deeper than before and then pray some more. It gets tougher everyday till it's not one day and for him that was about five years. It sure looks like I better get a folded towel for my knees because I'm going to be praying for you and your family for a long time. I hope this crew here is up to praying for a long time. It takes a long time to reforge a broken heart, if that is even possible. God of mercy and grace, draw us close to you and heal our hearts. Bless us and fill us with your peace. In your Son's Holy name, Amen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irontree Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Glen, I read Sean's demo for a colonial pipe lighter back when he made it in 2001. My son was only 3 back then, but I brought him into the shop and started showing him things to do because of that demo. My kids now have their own anvil and a dishing stump and help out in the shop to earn their spending money. My daughter got her own hammers 3 years ago. I don't think they would have started out in the shop until they were much older if I hadn't watched that Demo on Anvilfire. I never met Sean, but I think of him every time my kids swing a hammer at their anvil. He will not be forgotten. Danr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
