The photos in post #838 simply break my heart in two.
My deepest sympathies go out to Shane's family and friends, including you, Kevin.
A funeral is never easy...but when it is someone so young it is extra hard. The deep feelings of loss never go away, as we always wonder...even years later...what might that person have become. I only hope that the good memories of times with Shane will eventually bring a smile instead of a tear.
Kevin, I recall your comment of pitching whiffle-ball to him as a kid. Those are the moments the grieving will cherish as the pain slightly and slowly diminishes.
I, for one, am going to do a few Random Acts Of Kindness in Shane's honor this weekend and next week. Of course I did not know him, but he has touched so many of us here.

I know . I honestly wasn't sure if I should post them. Shane was obviously so loved by everyone. It's so heartbreaking. Kevin, I hope it's ok I posted them? I'm so sorry for your loss. Your family and everyone close to Shane is always in my thoughts and prayers..
Mine is buried in Calvery too.
Today my daughter and I drove into roxborough from Montgomery county to visit family. We were on ridge pike. As we approached Henry and ridge we could see a lot of police activity in front of us. I caught my breadth when I realized I was next to Shane's funeral procession and the hearse with his coffin was no further than 5 ft across from me in that moment of time. His uncle Kevin was in the next car and looked directly at me. I lost it! It was so unexpected and left me shaken. The funeral procession had many, many cars and huge police presence on its ride to Calvery. You are at peace now dear shane.

Charminglane, thank you for that beautiful song that you posted.
bbmLook at my silly map- it's older than dirt.
If you measure 10 feet from wall in parking lot. That's a long distance to travel alive- no way he traveled 800 yards on the bottom.
If he entered where he was found- how did Christies back camera not catch him leaving the lot?...so, how would he have gotten there?
Thank you for all the nice words and tributes. Every time I close my eyes I see Karen's face Shane's mom and it breaks me in two. I keep thinking about Shane tugging her foot and my son does the same to me. I keep thinking about how strong she is.....I hate to ask this but one of my gossipy relatives is saying his body would blow up to 300 pounds? I know many of you posted the science of drowning and I don't have the strength to look it up. I said I can see the body blowing up but his clothing and belongings were still in tact. I hate even posting this but just wondering myself.
