I did not know Sean personally but his death brings great sadness to my heart. Sean and I are from the same community in South Miami called Richmond Heights. He is a double hometown hero to me because he also played for the Redskins and for those of you who know me you know I was raised in Gaithersburg, Md. I left Miami when I was two for Maryland and returned to Florida 10 years ago. His death shows me that sad state of the world that we live in filled with all manners of evil and that to is why my heart is grieved. My brothers and sisters we must love one another for everyone that loves is born of God and knows God. In this terrible time of sadness, one thing does give me consolation. I believe Sean knew God, he was raised by a good Christian father who is the police chief of Florida City, which is a suburb of Miami and also where my mother grew up. I will see Sean again some day for my hope is built on the shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who promised eternal life to all those who believe in him. Trials dark on every hand and we can not understand, all the ways that God leads us to that blessed promised land but He will guide us with his eye and we will follow until we die, we will understand it better by and by. By and by, oh, when the morning comes, all the saints of God will be gathered home, we will tell the story how we overcome, and we will understand it better by and by.
