hey there sean, say....

you and your love for your dear wife, will never be forgotten...

we know this was terribly hard to post and share, and you did not have to do this, but when folks love someone like your wife, they really do want to understand what it was that took their friend away from them...

i know i have already said this, but god bless you at this
very very awful and sad time in your life...
my prayers for you and her family and friends, as you face the future without her...

Sean, I'm so sorry this happened! You're obviously a very strong and thoughtful person. This is a terrible time for all concerned and you're no doubt in a state of shock at the moment. Since I've been through a similar loss myself, if it helps, feel free to contact me any time now and into the future.

I'm so sorry Sean... it's obvious Ishun was a real shining light. We are here if you need us. The support runs very deep here.

Peace,

Thank You for the photos,

Hi All,
I have been a lurker at what you folks call the taco for years but never logged on. But some things are too important so here is my first contribution.

I’m an old friend and climbing partner of C-Dog, Bluering, Barcus, and of course, Ishun. I have known and climbed with Ishun for many years.
She was a great climber, always generous, always kind. We laughed together often.

Thanks you all for the heartfelt words and sentiments.

She was, and will always be, a beautiful person.

My sincere condolences to Sean and Ishun's friends. This is tragic news about someone who was very much a part of the climbing community.

Nice, Kenny.

I know you loved Ishun as we all did. J-tree and so many other trips will be devoid without her. She was like a go-to person you called when planning a trip.

Hopefully, in her absence, she will watch over us as we toast her in J-tree this year. F*#k, she was so stoked on going there this year.

All her friends knew this. Sean, if you wanna join us in Jtree, you're absolutely welcome. It would be cool if you did. Just stay in camp this time!!!!

you should join us!!!!

As a climbing friend and co-worker, I was shocked to hear it yesterday morning.

Every ppl has that day and you went first. I believe you will find fun up there and we sure will climb together again some day.

I climbed with Ishun, Bluering and Photonez once. There was a picture taken of all of us goofing around holding beer cans. Ishun was hamming it up and she had a big smile on her face. I remembered her as cheerful, energetic, and funny, and she loved climbing. She really had a good spirit about her. Her personality and energy were so positive that she affected those around her -- like her spirit was contagious. I barely knew her, but I am saddened and feel the loss, as we all do here. I feel grateful that she graced my life for that one day. I hope we can all hold her spirit and affect others in our lives positively and with love as Cragman posted earlier.

Peace to her loved ones and friends, -D
