New comment added to Ed Sirignano's discussion Graduation day

We are so blessed that Brent was able to participate with his amazing Class of 2010. What a very special group of young men and women you have ALL raised. All of these kids are a Class act! Brent's friends and fellow students helped make the day even more special than it already was by taking the time to give Brent a hug and say hello prior to rehearsals. Mingie and I felt so special to witness the Love and support from Brent's friends and fellow students.

Prior to the graduation ceremony, again many friends and fellow students took the time to stop by and say hello to Brent and sign his yearbook. Our hearts were so full of Love and admiration for ALL of these truly caring and loving young adults who made Brent's day.

The graduation ceremony was an experience we will never forget! Mingie and I and our Family were so thankful to God and so very proud of Brent for his accomplishments. We wanted to say THANK YOU to EVERYONE for making Brent and our Family feel so special when he walked up on the stage. Those few minutes of our lives were truely beyond words, but we will say that your Love and support for Brent and our Family will live within our hearts forever.

A special thank you to Brent's great friend Jamie for being there for him on this very special day!

Thank you to ETHS for a terrific event and for allowing Brent and our Family the opportunity to participate.

Good luck and best wishes to the graduating Class of 2010. You are ALL very special and should be very proud of your accomplishments!

For those of you not on Facebook to see pictures from the event, Mingie and I are going to attempt to post some pics on this site. We may need some assistance. LOL

God Bless you

Love Always,

The Sirignano Family

PS To Brent's friends and fellow students: We are very proud of ALL of you for honoring your friend Brent and making good decisions when driving. No texting, no drugs, no alcohol and ALWAYS where your seat belts.

Love Ed and Mingie

Eileen Shaughnessy started the discussion BRENT WOWS THE CROWD AT THE BREN CENTER!

What a thrill to see Brent walk at Graduation!

The rules are really that we aren't supposed to cheer when a student's name is read (mostly because then the family of the next kid can't hear their own child's name being read), and everyone usually abides by it mostly in that people will just make a really short quick cheer when their child's name is called so it doesn't interfere with the next reading.

WELL.....it didn't really work that way with Brent! They announced "Brent Sirignano" and a roar of cheering, hooting, and hollering rose up from the whole crowd. For that one moment, everyone apparently agreed that we could suspend the rules to recognize this child's awesome accomplishments in the last few months, and we all just chose to cheer wildly, many standing.

Once Brent finished, everybody went back to the regular routine . It was quite something to watch this moment.......just celebrating Brent......and it was beautiful.

The Shaughnessy clan were very grateful to have been able to see it.

Undoubtedly my favorite part of Graduation was seeing Brent walk with his class!!! He received a Standing O from me and many of his fans!
Gavin said he shook Brent's hand and that Brent recognized him...which Gavin said was the highlight of his Graduation!
Our love and pride in you continues to grow Brent!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
