Education and Activism Opportunity!!

H and S community in Denver on Nov. 4-7

USMWF was able to bring 13 family members to attend the National COSH meeting the Health and Safety Summit and meet with an amazing team at the Denver OSHA office, Region 8 . The Denver visit was a very unique because USMWF members have never meet with a Labor Liaison or a Solicitor of Labor.  USMWF has enjoyed many events and meetings with OSHA offices but felt this particular visit was a good start for new relationships and very informative.

Shawn Duane Boone

By Tammy Miser

They keep asking me how I am,

He was a great brother, uncle, son and man.

They continue telling me he’s in no pain,

But he’s still my little Shawn Duane.

They say if I need anything-just call,

I need my brother before I fall.

They pronounce he’s with the Angels and has God’s grace.

He should be with us that’s really his place!

They say he did not die alone, take comfort in that!

How can I, where is he at?

They say he was a good friend, always giving a hand.

I’m fearful where my heart might land.

They declare some good will come, it’s fate,

a reason and that’s the way it’s to be.

There is nothing momentous that I can see!

They utter remember the good times you had.

I miss him so very bad!

They state he's with you mind, soul and heart.

I can't bear being this far apart!

I love you Shawn
