Shannon,
i miss your mom just as much as you do becasue i considered her as a second mother. She was always there when we needed something and im thankful that i've gotten to know someone as kind as your mother. Within just a short amount of life spand shes managed to do alot, she had you and im glad i met you and your mom as well. I'm starting to realize, maybe the reason we live; is to change someone else's life, and your mom changed mine. If you ever need anything shannon you know im here for you always and forever. Call me anytime you want.
love you always
Maria xoxo :]

Dear Shannon, I know that there are no words that can comfort you or can describe your feelings at this time. I lost my mom too from the same disease so I know how you are feeling. Take comfort in knowing that she truly now is in the arms of all the Angels sending light and love to you always. I have known your mom for years as she is a good friend of my Aunt Kerry. I will remember her kindness and her contagious appreciation for life. She will be remembered always and the both of you will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself Shannon! You are surrounded with your Mom now more than ever!
