I am at a loss for words. I usually don't comment on anything but I had to send my love and respect for you Sean, and condolences to your family. I remember like it was yesterday, us laughing & talking. You were always upbeat & high spirited with lots of knowledge. I was instantly pulled into your charming, strong personality and I would always be excited when I had your company. We were such good friends, we talked about EVERYTHING! LOL you always smelled like Cool Water cologne too back then haha! I miss you & will always hold a personal space for you in my heart. You set the tone for the type of attractions I have to this very day! God bless your mom & brother,your children & their mothers, as well as your cousins, other relatives & friends. We all know your love :) 93'til

What I don"t understand is Why are there so many shootings unsolved??? Sean was shot in L.a and his sister was shot two or three years before he died. I was at both funerals, so I'm sure of what I'm talking about!!! Cops know these shootings are happening, But the question I have is do they really care??? Are they short on cops?? Have they heard of working under cover to keep an eye on the gang activity!!!! C'mon does it matter that these people are killing each other like this??? u can"t even sit in a car and talk anymore without some Idiot coming up, or driving by blasting you!!!! Why do they decide which day you are to die!! make no sense. Los Angeles is such a beautiful place.... It is a shame the death rate is so high
