Sean, I said a prayer for you I thanked God for blessing me with your life I thanked him for the caring calmness, the laughter and tears

We shared throughout the years I thanked God for giving me one of the best son’s that could be.

-Love Mom

Sean Jamieson Graham

The baby, lover of chocolate chip cookies and fried chicken.

The only way we could get him to eat any other kind of meat was to pretend it was some kind of wild beast like a tiger or bear. He could and would dance the entire Michael Jackson’s Thriller on the stage at White Station Elementary School in between classes. Independent, God fearing; he fiercely loved his mom, dad, sisters, and brother.

Loved all of his nieces and nephews. Never forgot a birthday or anniversary. I love you and will greatly miss you , as God welcomes you to your brand new life. Our Sean Baby forever.

Sean truly the best part of us. If there was a need he offered to help. If he had an abundance, he would share. He never took part in idle gossip. He would apologize before asking because he didn’t want to be a burden. Sean we will miss you terribly, but you are no longer in pain. It is written “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord”

2 Corinthians 5:8, I know you are safe in HIS arms

-Your Loving Sister-San

-Jacque

You Kept Your Promise

You kept your promise, you told me you would fight

You kept your promise, you told me you would pray

You kept your promise, you told me you would give me one more day

You kept your promise, you gave me a lifetime

My brother kept his promise I love you

-Michael
