Sometimes im up all night crying from grief. He was the happiest person and my sister now reminds me so much of him. He always would help me if i was having a bad day and was the brightest most caring person. He was just love. I remember the day our class came back and we had the therapy dogs and at the end of the year we got the memorial bench and we cried so hard. You were amazing Sebastian and we miss you.

It’s been almost 3 years. It’s still hard for me sometimes. I can’t even imagine the pain of his family. He was the sweetest person. He would always cheer me up if i was having a rough day and was so happy all the time. I remember one day, there was only 4 of us at school and Ms. Hunt was playing Disney music. He was just singing and dancing and having so much fun. Almost every day he asked about my sister. That still means so much to me. I remember how much i cried, he was one of my closest friends. I really hope his memorial bench is still at the school. He meant so much to everyone around him. I miss you so much Sebastian i hope you know that.
He was the nicest boy I had ever met. We shared the love of riding bikes and loving others. He always had a huge smile on his face, and whenever someone would say something unkind to him he would walk it off and start his day fresh. I remember when I was sick and came back to school and he would ask me if I was feeling better and if I ever needed anything. I also remember that he would always let me have some of his lotion for my dry hands and was always willing to lend a helping hand. When he passed, our 5th grade class went though deep grief and our teacher, Ms. Hunt, would take us outside to play duck, duck, goose, which was his favorite game at recess. He was living soul, and I will never forget that. Live forever and always love, Sebastian. A word he always said “Just treat everyone the same and be kind.” -Sebastian Foye

He was my friend. He always asked who my little sister was, and cheered me up when i was sad. He was always happy and loving. I miss him every day. I can’t believe its already been 11 months and 4 days. It feels like it was yesterday, it hurts so much.

Sebastian was a great friend. He was always had a huge smile on his face. He was one of my dearest friends. When he transferred to a new school I was very sad. But I still could know how he was doing cause he went to my nieces school. Sebastian was great he would always cheer people up. When I was crying because I didn’t want my teacher to leave the school he cheered me up. When I was sad he made me happy. I give my prayers for Sebastian.
There’s a spiritual concept that exists that we come back here to re-live our lives with our loved ones, that we see them again down here again, in different form, not up there forever ... but in another lifetime. A premise written about in his discovery by Ivy League graduated and retired medical director, Dr Brian Weiss, which he held back for years to obviously not sound crazy . He was featured on Oprah and his book “Many Lives, Many Masters” is a page turner. I would only mention any of this in the wish of expedient healing to his mother today. And, of course, all who loved him dearly. I know reading that book (and I’m no avid book reader) is one you can’t put down, stunned me and made me think of life and death differently. This kid grabbed my heart from a thousand miles away;. As the adage goes, “a picture says a 1,000 words.” Perhaps much of him reminding me of my own son, close in age and now, after days of my own stunned grieving, discovered even in the same time of year, born. Only a few pics it took to say enough to tell you Sebastian was a tremendous rare light in this world. I even love his name for him. Inexpicably, I grieved this child too, as if he were a kid down the street or a sons friend from school. Holiday tunes, prior to Christmas, felt numb to me thinking of him, as I’d walk through a grocery store, not helping myself but to think of what happened and what could have been. This story and this child - Sebastian’s ebullient smile was on my mind even on Christmas Day and clearly, after. As a single mom, with one son also, working 3 jobs, I felt compelled to send what I could in helping to participate in ensuring a wonderful, appreciated celebration of his life. Today felt different. Today was the first day I could smile, from my heart and soul in remembering him , and feel joy, in the honor of his birthday, thinking of his smile, the Mother’s Day card he left his mom, and the mark he left on the world. From one mom to another, I wish you love, healing and the gift of joy found again, Rachel. And a happy birthday bash to Bash up there - til you’re in each other’s arms again down here. Til then - it’s the soul that binds.
Sebastian, Grandma Nancy, and your aunties love you.
