I thought you might want to know this …..
Jana Kelly’s Family (Sean’s Girlfriend) donated a park bench in Sean’s memory. The bench has been placed at Kennydale Beach Park in Renton, Washington. This park is located about a mile and a half from our Kennydale home and has a special meaning.
Sean and his classmates from Hazen High School had a ritual of jumping into Lake Washington for the Polar Bear jump EVERY February 1st. We were waiting for the bench to be completed before we honored Sean’s last wish to have his ashes scattered there.
I just want to thank all of you again for your support and love throughout the years, but especially these past months.
The dedication plaque reads:
In Loving Memory of Sean Michael Joseph Jack Reid
“Do or Do Not. In the end…there is no try”
(On all his emails, he would end them with his full name and this saying from Star Wars)
