Shannon, I knew you over 15 years. Lady at my dr's office knows Ms. Perza from school, I asked the nice lady please relay my message, "I am SO happy she's here today, & ALL of her Tomorrows. " I can hear you say to me, " Now Kim, Im no hero, I just did what I had to save that young lady. " In your smooth as molasses drawl, They only took the vessel, whomever was fortunate enough to breathe your air, is ONE lucky human. If I asked for ANYTHING more, I'd be selfish! Well 1 thing, but like ALL that love Shannon, He still be here.
I miss you like lightning on A HOT Georgia summer night. Till another time & place.

Thoughts and prayers to all of Shannon's family. What a special young man! I taught at Windsor Academy for many years. During Shannon's senior year he was my "teacher's aide". Probably not by choice but he came in every day with that beautiful smile and wonderful attitude. He was a true gentleman.
