I can write a book, but I will keep it short & sweet. You have been in my life as the best father figure any little girl could’ve asked for, you earned a trophy for “Best step father” words can’t describe the pain, i cant thank you enough for all you did in my life for the last 32 years. You were the BEST grandpa as my kids call you, they each had a nickname til you ran out,lol. I know how much each and everyone of my kids meant to you, esp POP, your world, your right hand man, idk what I am going to do w/out you. You were just such an amazing person, loved my mom unconditionally, please I beg of you watch over ALL of us, life is I’ll never be the same. LOVE always, your daughter, and LOVING 3 grandkids, as you would call them “POP”, POOKIE, and Clo Clo ❤️😢🙏🏼
Idk where to start, You we’re the BEST step father a little girl could’ve ever asked for the last 32 years, you were my rock, my hearts shattered into small pieces, i cant thank you enough for loving my mom, me & your 3 grandkids. Life will never be the same w/out you. I can write an entire book on our memories, you taught my son his first word, you nick named all my kids til you said , I ran outta nick names (LOL). I know how much my kids meant to you, esp your POP he was your world, he was your back pocket, your right hand man. PLEASE Sean, continue watching over, and we will continue to make you proud!!!

Sean would want us to continue the Cavanaugh legacy by living life to the fullest, always carrying his love and support with us. Remember the lessons he taught you, and together, we will honor his memory by doing everything we can to make him proud.
