I'm still in disbelief that we lost so many of our friends in Shanghai. It seems so unreal. But Shaun's memorial was almost fun; given the circumstances.

It was very much in keeping with his personality. Lots of very funny stories. Laughing and crying together. There were lots of funny stories about him and us. Also I was very much impressed to see the large turnout of Geminites and new Avient crew. I know it was difficult for everyone to make it there but like everyone else I wish I would have taken Shaun up on his offer to come down and meet his family earlier. His family is hurting but they were gracious and funny and put a great face on all of the stories we've heard.

This memorial made me miss Shaun more, remember the good times we had and miss the great times we had at Gemini and the people Shaun and I met along the way at Gemini. As with most of the stories we all have from Shaun, they probably should not be shared in church or a public forum but I would love to meet up with you guys and swap some Shaun stories the next time we get together.

As much as I miss Shaun, I miss and I wish the best to Pinedog and Saul's families'.

GodSpeed; Please look after the rest of us.
