I remember Shannon very well. He and my nephews were all friends. I am praying the memories of times passed will easy the loss of a dear friend. I even recall the many times he along with the children attended Ethan Temple with their Mom. Such a beautiful family. You all are in my prayers . . . God knows what is best and called Shannon to rest. Be determined to meet him again in Heaven, join hands together and live for eternity.

Dear Blackford Family,
My sincere condolences and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. Shannon has been a childhood friend of our family (The Walker´s) since our single digit years of age at Ethan Temple Seventh Day Adventist Church. I also babysit the three boys. They were like our brothers. We are all continuing to keep the family uplifted in our prayers for comfort, strength and peace. May the Lord wrap you all in his loving arms and bring you closer together at this time and continue to bless you all. My love and prayers of peace are with you.
