I did not know Shannon, but when Father Larry told us about her this morning, I CRIED. He asked us to pray for her and I will. I will also pray for God to wrap her family and friends in love and sympathy during this difficult time.

I just wanted to say that I am so sorry this has happened, and please know that I am praying for healing and comfort and love to prevail. Blessings Kirsten Christianson

Both Herb and I share your sorrow. We met Shannon at Ron's birthday gathering. We instantly recognise how beautiful she was, both on the inside and outside. She had a lovely smile and made us feel part of the group. She was very alive and had a vitality that was contagious. Our prayers are for her family and friends. May God bless all of you during this horific time.

Words cannot adequately express the sadness felt when hearing of Shannon's passing. She was a wonderful young woman. Her radiant smile was always a welcome sight to see.

Your daughter touched so many of us while we knew her. She will be truly missed and the world is just not the same without her. I spent a lot of time with Shannon and various others while in chorus and our Sound of Music trip. I will always treasure the photos and memories that I have of us from what seems like just yesterday. She, as well as your entire family, will always be in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord be with you every step of the way through this difficult time.
