Shawn B. Green

Deb & sons,
My heart sunk when I read the newspaper about Shawn. My prayers are with you and the boys at this time. Here is a comforting prayer for you.

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime, when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rain- bows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind- songs, they whisper to us.
Don’t miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine.

It was always a pleasure working with Shawn. He always brought a bright side to work and never seemed to be down. He was a long tenured employee who was always there to help a newer employee out. Shawn was an outstanding person, and we will all miss him.

Dear Deb,

Words, there are none. I am so sad for you and your boys. There are no words that I or anyone else can say to you to make this hurt go away. I know that we have not spoken in a long time but I truly hope that you know that you can reach out should you need anything.

May God hold your hearts.

All my love,

Cherokee

We wish to send our condolences to your family. We got to know Shawn when my husband Bill coached the boys in little league many years ago. He would always greet us with a smile and was always ready to do what he could do to help. Whenever we would run into him, he would always come over to say Hi. God Bless you and your family, You are in our prayers.

Debbie & the Boys,
Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you during this painful time of sadness. We cannot take away your pain, but please have comfort in this prayer:

I said a Prayer of Sympathy to the good Lord up above,
To ask Him to console you and comfort you with love.
I prayed for help to understand the wisdom of His ways,
To trust that life is measured by love and not by days.
I asked the Lord to give you the wisdom and the grace
To know your loved one rests In the peace of God's embrace.
Until that joyous promised day when all of you will be
Enfolded in each other's arms throughout eternity.

Love & Blessings,
Lynette, Chuck and CJ Maholland

Debbie, Patrick, Ian and Conor,

Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. Shawn was an incredible man with an awesome sense of humor. We will always smile when we think of him and laugh when we remember how funny he was when he spoke with his "deep voice". We truly loved our "Shawn B. Green" and will miss him.

Please let us know if there is anything you need - we are here for you always. Know that our prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

Love, Pat, Suzanne, Courtney, Meghan, and Kate Horan

I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love so dear.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.

I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send you all blessings--Amen.

Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.

I love you all so very much.

Shawn was a wonderful friend and an awesome co-worker. He will be missed for his sense of humor and dedication. He made tough times easy and never hesitated to lend a helping hand.

We are so saddened by the news of Shawn's death. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family. May God be with you and help you to remember the laughter and love from the years spent with Shawn and grant you peace in the knowledge that he is now in a wonderful place.

Love from Steve, Sherri, Julia and Natalie Dorsheimer

Debbie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Shawn was a bright, loving individual and I enjoyed seeing him around the office. I'll definitely miss him. I will keep all of you in my prayers in the upcoming weeks that you can make it through this rough time. If you need anything, please let me know.

Janet from Vertex

He was truly a wonderful person, neighbor, and coworker and we will miss his infectious smile and wonderful sense of humor. May God bless you and keep you in his care.
Love, The Biddle Family, Angie, Mike, Corey & Casey

Words are surely inadequate a time like this to express just how devastating the loss of a husband and father would be. My heart goes out to every one in the family.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Shawn. I know that there are no words that can make your pain go away. I am glad I had the opportunity to get to know Shawn. Know that if you should need anything, please dont hesitate to contact us. God be with your family. Tom and Mimi, Tom Jr, and Terry DelRossi.

My deepest condolences to Debbie, Patrick, Ian and Conor. How sad I was to hear of Shawn's passing. He was one of the "good guys" who always had a smile and some kind of joke. He will be greatly missed by me and everyone here at Vertex. Please be assured of my prayers for your peace.
Love, McNancy (as Shawn always called me)

Deb,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Shawn will be surely missed.

We are deeply saddened and very sorry for your loss. Shawn was a wonderful person, a great co-worker and a dear friend. He will be missed immensely.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Shirley, Ron and Trey

Shawn was a very special person, indeed! I fondly remember the years Shawn and I worked together as Research Managers. His smile, his jokes, his compassion touched so many of us. Debbie, Patrick, Ian and Conor, please known that those of us that worked with Shawn mourn with you, for we love him, too! - Lynda Macaleer

We were very sadden to hear about Shawn, our sons played baseball together for Honey Brook.I can remember Shawn was always a happy guy. I could tell how much he loved his sons. The way he couldn't tell them no if they wanted junk food a concession stand. I know there are no words to express to you, that there are people remembering his life today and remembering what a happy guy he was. How blessed he must have felt to have you and your sons in his life. May God bless you all! The Peck family Barbara, Randy and Ryan

Debbie, Patrick, Ian, and Conor,

Our son Randy, and Ian, have been friends since elementary school. We will always remember how friendly Shawn was, and his sense of humor each time we ran into him. He will be truly missed. We pray for continued strength for your family, and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Randy, Winona, Randy Jr., and Chrissy

Shawn will be missed.
We are always here for you.
Love,
Margaret Russell Chris Katherine and Victoria

Debbie, Patrick, Ian and Conor,

There are no words that we can say to any of you to take away the sadness you must be feeling right now. We can only offer you comfort in knowing that we will miss Shawn too. You should be proud to know that your Husband/Father was a kind, generous, funny and respected man. Shawn would always stop and talk to us when we were out doing out daily walks. Debbie, I will always have fond memories of Shawn at the grocery store. He always knew what was on sale. If I ran into him I knew I was at the right store that week. We will be here to support you now and in the future. If there is anything we can do for you do not hesitate to let us know.

Sincerely,
Cecelia Poland and Michelle Manzo

Anne, Pam and Stephanie,
My sympathy is with you all. You're in my thoughs and prayers.

Shawn was truely a good man who loved his family very much. He talked a lot of his loving wife and his three great kids. He was very proud of the boys and the young men they were becoming.

He will be missed for his sense of humor and his heart. It is very fitting that his memorial is on a day that epitomizes Shawn's pride and love for being Irish. Those that knew Shawn knows that he kept St. Paddy's day and Irish regalia all around his cube.

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand."

Words can't express the sorrow felt for the loss of a husband, father or friend. Shawn was spontaneous, compassionate, fun loving. Anyone who knew him or came in contact with him was blessed with his gifts of friendship and love. I missed the 'dance around the printer' when he left our area but we joked about it whenever we did run into each other. I am saddened by his death but happy in the knowledge of having had him as a friend and co-worker.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Shawn's passing. I have great memories of our time together at Colonie Central High, and the years that followed including all the softball games and hanging out with the boys for some postgame cheer (whether we won or lost). I will always remember his great laugh and spirit.

Dear Green Family,

I don't know what to say. We are very sorry. Our prayers are with you all & Shawn.

The Brady Family

Dear Mrs. Green, Ian, Connor and Patrick,

I had Ian my very first year of teaching (I was Miss Lewis then) and met you and Mr. Green on parent/teacher conference night. He was such a nice man and I could see where Ian got his sense of humor. I just wanted to let you know your family has been in our prayers as often times there are no words that can comfort a person during this time. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Jenna (Lewis) and Chris Weis

He lived large...I recall when we worked together at Vertex, playing softball and sitting across from each other in the Research Department. He was bright and sunny and brought an element of peacefullness everywhere he went. I babysat the boys way back in there home in Wayne and just love you all. I have hanging in my office right now the two windows that Deb you painted for me with gorgeous flowers. I treasure them and everyday I think of you and Shawn and your boys when I enter my office. God Bless

Lisa, John and Anna Groarke (Downingtown)
