Shawn if the heavens could open and you could hear us we would tell you how much we love you!! How much we miss you!! You are a light in our lives and a vital part of our family. We will cry alot and ache inside for you but we cherish the time we had with you. The wonderful memories that you gave us will stay forever in our hearts and thoughts. There will not be a day that goes by that you are not thought of and mentioned in our family we will pray for us all daily. We love you shawnie!!
We have learned the importance of our saviors sacrifice when he bled in the garden of Gethsemane. As we come to an understanding of the atonement of the savior we begin to see the trials and tragic experiences of our lives through the larger window of an eternal perspective. Christ himself has given us very personal glimpses of his atoning experiences in the doctrine and covenants section 19. Jesus speaks of his suffering as he took upon himself the sins and pain of all mankind. "which suffering caused myself, even god , the greatest of all to tremble because of pain and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink nevertheless glory be to the father and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men"
The atonement was for us he suffered for our sins and it has a greater meaning now in my life than ever before. I thank my savior for this with all my heart. Because of this I know that we will be a family forever with shawn!!
To shawn I would remind him of what the savior said in D&C 50:40-43 "fear not little children, for you are mine, and I have overcome the world, and you are of them that my father hath given me; And none of them that my Father hath given me shall be lost... And inasmuch as ye have received me, ye are in me and I in you"
I love this picture of Ron and Shawn. This was taken on his last birthday.
Shawn was turning into such a handsome young man.
This was the only family picture of all the kids together we had just done these right before Christmas I think the dates are off on the pictures. I love this one!
To all of our friends and Family who have offered such comfort and to those who dug deep into their pockets to give us help financially when I know you all are no better off than we are. I say a very heartfelt thank you. I sincerely appreciate you and all of your kind words and prayers for us. The money has been a blessing to help us with the great financial burden that we have. You truly are the best family and friends that anyone could have. We love and cherish you all
Love The MacIntosh Family

Hey Kyla and Ron. I have been thinkin about you guys a lot and I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am that you have to have such a hard trail in your lives. I can say that it will bring you closer to Christ and our Heavenly Father. It is so hard to except that such bad things happen to good people and it so hard to figure out why somethings happen. My prayers are with you. I know that holidays are especially hard and I hope that you will be blessed with comfort and peace. You will always remember him in your hearts but the pain you feel now with lessen with time and you will be stronger beacuse of the challenges that you are facing. Just wanted you both to know that I care about you and hope you are all doing okay. Your post was so sweet it made me cry!If you ever need anything don't hesitate to call me. Oh and I just wondered if you have heard that song by Rascall Flats it's on their new CD the last song called "WHY" if you haven't heard it listen to it! Anyway take care of yourselves.
