Shad, so sad about your untimely passing. You were such a bright light in this world and you will be missed by many. Love, Shreela

Rest easy brother. You always spoke of your family, please look after them. Especially your daughter, remind her everyday. Your presence will be missed but you're in peace now.

Shad, Your South Dakota family will remember all the good things and times that we shared on the summer trips.  Know that you are in our hearts. We all know that you are in the Lords hands, Rest in Peace.

I will miss you Shad. I so enjoyed having you in my classroom and the fun we had with learning.  I especially loved the video we did to the song "Parents Just Don't Understand". RIP. Love, Jan Goodrich

You are loved & missed more than you know.

Like many loved ones, we are so heartbroken about losing you.
I felt like I already knew you.
Shane and I were so excited about you coming home.
You may not be here physically, but we feel your presence.
God has chosen you to sit by his side in heaven.
You are loved. You have always been loved. Rest in peace.

XOXO,
Shane and Michelle

I remember the day we spent at the Denver zoo when you were a little tyke; what fun we had while Diane was at work.

shad you made a huge impact on my life and i thank you and miss the heck out of you..god has an angel and a guardian angel i know i have..god bless family and friends that eas so dear to you..shad i only wish one more time but i know all i could say is till we meet again! lots love

I knew you for just a short time but you left a special mark on my heart forever darlin.  You are missed!!!

I'm glad your no longer in pain.  But my heart forever will be. : (

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
