2ishawn Slarrmiga
Kishawn was born to Eleanor and Robelto Harrigan on
the island of St. Thomas on November 11, 1985.
After Kishawn's birth he became very ill and was taken
to Puerto Rico for medical help. The doctors were able to
save his life with God's help, but he was never able to live
his life to the fullest. He was disabled
Kishawn attended a school the disabled in Frenchtown
where he was loved by his teachers. At the age of seven
years, he was transferred to Peace Corps School. When
he didn't want to go to school he would cry and get
disagreeable so he could cut class.
Kishawn could not communicate in regular conversa-
tion, but when he was happy he would laugh and make
funny faces that would make his parents happy too, and
when he was hurting they would know by his disagree-
able moods.
Kishawn could not walk or run and play like a normal
child, but he was a blessed child for he was loved and
cared for by every one that came in contact with him.
Now that the Lord has taken Kishawn to be with him,
he will have a new body. Praise the Lord, so he can walk
the golden streets of glory.
Kishawn, we love you, but Jesus loves you best. Rest
in peace.

IT IS A THING
MOST WONDERFUL
It is a thing most wonderful,
Almost too wonderful to be,
That God's own Son
should come from heaven
And die to save a child like me.
And yet I know that it is true
He chose a poor and humble lot,
And wept and toiled
and mourned and died,
For love of those who loved Him not.
I sometimes think about the Cross
And shut my eyes and try to see
The cruel nails and crown of thorns
And Jesus crucified for me,
But even could I see Him die
I could but see a little part
Of that great love which like a fire
Is always burning in His heart.
I cannot tell how He could love
A child so weak and full of sin;
His love must be most wonderful,
If He could die my love to win.
It is most wonderful to know
His love for me so free and sure;
But 'tis more wonderful to see
My love for Him so faint and poor
And yet I want to love Thee, Lord
O light the flame within my heart
And I will love Thee more and more
Until I see Thee as Thou art.

farewell
Kishawn... I know the ties that bind will always be and not broken. I
am so sorry to see you leave and am glad that I was there with you and I
will always be. I know I will miss you as these passing memories occur.
There will be times when I am sad and times when I cry. Today, tomor-
row and yesterday memories will always be. So son, sleep on until we
meet again. God bless you.
Your loving father and mother, Robelto and Eleanor
To my little brother Kishawn ... from the day we were together, you
have had a special place in my heart that I will love, treasure and honor.
So you see, Kishawn, I will miss you and cherish the last eleven years with
you. Sometimes you were a little rude at times, and now I will surely miss
that. When I used to see you sleeping, you looked so precious and
innocent, but now truly more than ever you would be more precious and
innocent to me everyday. My brother died on the day before my birthday,
some people might thank that's a little strange, but I think of it more as a
lesson. The day Kishawn died my whole world just fell to pieces, but as
long as I have Jesus I know he will help me through. Although you are
gone, you will be more special to me everyday. I will be thinking of you
each day, each hour, each minute. I will never, ever, forget you, because
you and I have a special bond that no army, no earthquake, not even the
world, could ever break. I will always love you Kishawn, may you rest in
peace.
Kishma Harrigan
Shawn ... You were my special nephew, even though you had a
disability, you knew my voice. When I saw you and said, Shawn, see
Auntie, you would take a good look at me with that beautiful laughter and
put our your little hand to greet me. Shawn, your sudden passing left a
void in my heart that words can't express. I'll surely miss you. I love you
and you'll ways be remembered.
Your loving Auntie, Audrey and family
Kishawn... you were a loved child of God. We all love you. May you
rest in peace.
Your great-aunt, Mavis and family
Kishawn... Your passing has filled our hearts with sorrow. But that is
life. We love you and will always remember you.
Aunt Pity and family
Kishawn... You will be missed. Rest in peace, Kishawn
Doris and family
My Brother Kishawn ...
B eing there, nurturing our bond,
R teaching out in a righteous way,
O ur childhood experiences we shared
T together as one,
H umorous outlook,
E verlasting love, and memories to cherish,
R respect for each other.
I will always love you Kishawn, Steve and Julian
Kishawn ... We all love you and care for you so very much. It makes
the loss of you with us in this life so hard to bear, but we take solace in
knowing that God loved you best. So we say good bye Shawn, until we
meet again at the gate of heaven. Rest in peace.
Your uncles, Conrad, Godfrey, Guedo and Aubrey
To Kishawn ... The Lord said, "Suffer little children to come unto me
for such is the kingdom of heaven. We love you, but the Lord loves you
best.
