This is something I received from Shaylan’s sister Shammi:

        Shaylan and I were born 1 year and 9 days apart, he was my big brother but I always had to be his big sister. He was always so sick that I had to keep the bullies away lol. But he always had a bright outlook on life. He got married to the love of his life, had his own home and car and got a degree in college for computers. He never gave up no matter what. His last Xmas was in 2006, he spent it with his entire family even though I doubt he remembered it, he was so sick and he was gone 3 days later. December 28, 2006 was the day he took his last, long, hard breath and now he is resting easy and breathing easy. Its all he ever wanted and now he has it. We will all be together on the other side so dont be sad for our lost ones. Death is a very selfish thing and it we who are selfish, because they are having a ball. We love you Shaylan AKA Uncle Bubba
