Shaymus was an incredible artist, master of Lego, excellent singer and prolific reader. He was loving, kind, thoughtful, intelligent, had a great sense of humor, was brave and was appreciative of even the little things in life. Shaymus loved most of all, his family. Shaymus taught us all so much, how to live life one day at a time and how to be better people.

Special thanks to the incredible medical staff at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin: the Oncology Clinic, the Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic, and the Hematology-Oncology-Transplant Unit of the hospital.
