10 yrs ago. I never got to meet you in person. But met you through FB. I always enjoyed your stories about your kitties, stupid salad and NDI which I now just finally realized what the I stood for. You always made me laugh and smile. Thinking of you and your son George together. May you both continue to rest in peace.

To the Friends and Family of Shannon Claire Puglia....and of course, to the "Fans Of Mr. Peabody":

Well, Here we are. How can it be EIGHT years that Shannon has been "gone"? GONE - But, NOT forgotten! !
I have to say that time does heal a broken heart...but, will our broken hearts even be the same? No. No, they won't, because we were some of the luckiest people on Earth! I don't know how it happened...but, I got Lucky...the day I came across Mr. Peabody's page :)
Mewmity! ! I say MEWMITY! ! Come on people, say it with me: "MEWMITY!"
translation: We Love You>>>>> Shannon and Mr. Peabody!
Shortly after Shannon passed, I saw that Facebook is just NOT the same without her on here. I still feel the same way today, eight years later. :'( :'( :'( I still have a void....because of her absence. I go on Facebook and I scroll through my feed...I love seeing photos of family and friends and reading about the recent accomplishments of my 11 year old nephew, travels of friends and family, get togethers at Easter, Christmas, birthdays ect., getting to meet new people from all over the world....oh, and now we get all those ads from all kinds of stuff (and next thing you know, we are buying a new pair of shoes, or clothes from Land's End) oh....Shannon, I would love to hear your opinion of all the ads that pop up on Facebook now :) ha ha ha I bet you would love to tell us how you feel about them. :)
I would love to go on and on about how wonderful Shannon was and how much we loved her stories and how she entertained us with just telling us the everyday adventures of her kitties: Mr. Peabody, Smarty Jones and Osama bin Kitti. She was so witty, funny, tell-it-like-it-is, and creative with her posts, it made our lives much more fun! I loved her "Good Morning from Mr. Peabody" and the "Good Nights" and all the in between parts! She loved the animals so much.... she had a frog named Jeremiah. That one made me laugh out loud :D I learned some fun words, like: green papers, Mewmity!, stupid salad stuff, diabeeters, going to the veggietarian, you can have cadillac's in your eyes, oh....I wish I could remember more of them...but, when I say them....it is just not as funny as when Mr. Peabody said them. :/
Oh! and the little video of her driving home one day....singing along with the radio to the song: "Dancing In The Moonlight"....now, whenever I hear that song....I immediately think of Shannon singing along with it...actually, I heard that song a couple of nights ago. I tried to sing along....but, when the tears started rolling, it made it hard to sing.... but, they were happy tears and sad tears :'( :'(
Sooooooo many wonderful memories! ! !
Like I said...I could go on and on...but, you would be much happier, if you go to Pea's page and read it for yourself. Trust me on that one.

Facebook is just NOT the same.

I miss you soooooo much!
Shannon - Thank You for being YOU!

Love and Hugs ((((((Shannon))))))

Dear Dawn and George, Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your mother, Shannon. She and Mr. Peabody were among my first cat frends on FB and I can say one of my most treasured friends. Reading about daily life with Shannon in Shamong with Mr. Peabody, Smarty Jones, and Osama was a daily treat. Everything she wrote was entertaining. I looked forward to the "Good Mornings" and "Good Nights" with their hugs to Aunties like me. I learned so many catch phrases, like "green papers", "fish and chippies", "Mewmity","vegetarian" and "diabeeters" (which I have, too.) Knowing your mother has touched my heart and she will be forever in my thoughts and prayers. She was a wonderful person, a compelling writer, an advocate for vets, and an animal lover, and she is gone too soon.

Shannon, Your life and how you shared the details of living your life are a wonderful testament to the good that can be achieved by reaching out beyond our front door. You reached across cities, states, and even countries to build friendships. Those friendships will endure through the continued caring for your family (children, extended friends of aunties and uncles, and of course all animals). You are and will be missed.

Dear Friends and Family of Shannon Claire Puglia:

February 25, 2014

MEWMITY !

As I sit here in The Punkin Room (walls are painted orange), I am trying to think of what I really want to say. I guess I am still in a state of shock and disbelief. I just don't want it to be true. I'm fighting back the tears…as I look around my room…I see my one of my kitties, Cooper lying on the back of the recliner…with the sweetest look on his face…not a care in the world kind of look. A Happy Face. I glance over to the floor, Scooter is curled up on a little fluffy bed, Ms. Cami is snuggled up in a tight curl in the chair. I guess the other two are on the bed with my husband.

I think about Mr. Peabody, Smarty Jones and the “Old Gal”, Osama bin Kitti….I think and wonder…what are they thinking. These kitties must be wondering where is their Meowmy. Why is she NOT here with us? Why did she go … and NOT come back to us. She's never done that before. She is our Meowmy…she should be here with us. I know that cats can grieve. =^..^=

I came to know Shannon via Mr. Peabody's Facebook page. She is Meowmy. Meowmy created a virtual “family” for us, via Facebook. I NEVER imagined that I could feel so close to a person that I have Never met in person. But, when I read George's post …that she had passed away. I felt my heart sink. I thought…this must be a mistake? But, later confirm it was true. Mewmity !

Shannon engaged us with her funny and interesting stories about everyday stuff. She made the boring mundane tasks of everyday living …fun, interesting and most of all Entertaining ! She told us about her little shopping trips to Russo's to get fresh fruits and veggies, to Wal-Mart to get the filter for the aquarium, about some of the special neighbors, one in particular, the NDI…we love him, despite everything. She shared her love for Fishies and Chippies….Pea and Smarty loved it too. She must have loved salad, cause it seems like she was fixing her stupid salad stuff quite often.
Her favorite restaurant – Applebees. I sent her an Applebee's gift card for Christmas present…she was so thankful and appreciative. She shared her recipes, with photos of how to do the recipe.
Shannon had such a wonderful wittiness about her. An AWESOME sense of humor. More common sense that most people. She was friendly and outspoken…a “tell it like it is” kinda girl. Don't beat around the bush…just go for it … when talking or doing a task.

I really wish that I could have met her in person. I don't remember how I came across Pea's page…but, I do remember shortly after finding it….I started to look for the daily postings….to see what was happening in Pea's life that day. There was the daily “Good Morning from Mr. Peabody” and the “Good Night from Mr. Peabody” and then all the stuff in between. After my husband would get home from work…if he was in here with me…. I would say: “Curtis, hit the mute button….you gotta hear this !”
If Mr. Peabody ever had a “BIG FAT TAIL ! “… we all knew that something terrible had gone wrong or was someone was able to get a good straightening out by Meowmy. When it was bill paying time….Mr. Peabody said that he was about to learn some new words. Ha ha ha We learned about problems with the roof, the heating system, the trees outside, the pretty gold fishies in the outside pond, squirrelies, Jeremiah the frog, Isabella the deer. Meowmy loved to provide some corn for Isabella….and seeds for the birdies. Meowmy LOVED all animals…not just kitties. But, had it not been for the kitties….our paths would have never crossed. I would have missed out on so many fun, refreshing and pleasurable situations that were shared with Meowmy's Facebook Friends.

I feel like that is a big ole hole in my heart….a void, that can only be filled by Meowmy and her tales of everyday life. Everyday….I come to my desk, sit down….bring up Facebook … and I start to scroll, looking for postings from Mr. Peabody……they are NOT there. I miss the daily interaction with Shannon via Pea's page. I miss her so very much ! My heart feels like it is broken….I don't know how long it will take for it to mend. I tell myself: Just be thankful for the time that I had to interact with Shannon over the last few years.

Dawn, Michele, George and Jenny –
Sending my Deepest Sympathy and Heartfelt Love. I know that you must have so many good memories of your mom. I pray that God will give you a peace in your heart….in order to get through this rough time. Know that your mom's compelling and thought provoking posts reached so many people … all across the United States and even in some foreign countries. She was Loved by so many people…she will be missed something awful !

I know this is a very long message. But, these are the things that I wanted to say to Shannon's friends and family. Shannon left us on Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Very unexpected.
She made me Laugh….She made me Cry … but, most of all, She made me HAPPY ! =^..^=

Sincerely,
Terrie A. Gerringer
Stallings, North Carolina

Shannon, it's been nearly two weeks since you were taken from us and yet I still look for your posts, stories from the neighborhood and the kitties. Although we never met face to face, we had numerous chats, usually too late at night and I felt I knew you well from your descriptive posts on Facebook. You are missed by so many. My sincere condolences go out to George & Jenny and to Dawn & Michele. Shannon was very proud of you all and it showed in her writings to those of us who did not know you. Be at peace.

February 21, 2014

Hi Shannon,

I miss you and your wonderful wit and wisdom. Stories about trips to Shoprite, NDI, fish and chippies, stupid salad stuff. Oh how I loved your stories. Oh how I miss you. I only knew you through Facebook. But it was such a pleasure to get to know you. Also your kitties, Mr Pea, Osama and Smarty Jones. What a wonderful feisty amazing lady you are. So full of common sense, feistiness and one 'wicked' sense of humour.

I will never forget you Shannon.

My thoughts also go to your kids George and Dawn and their families. May you find endless comfort in knowing how far your Mom's reach extended. From all the friends she made from around the globe.

Always remembered. Never forgotten.

And your wonderful cats, and the fishies and deer. You were such a light in the world - and now you are a light in the heavens. Thank you, Shannon, for all that you've done to make the world brighter, laugh-filled and joyful. Or, as you would say: Mewmity!

You taught me so much in your humor, love of all living creatures, compassion for those less fortunate, strong dedication to equal rights for all, and speaking truth in all aspects of life. Sharing this wisdom has made me a better human and a stronger woman, and I will always be grateful to you for that. Our cats brought us together and I am in sorrow that this past month has taken my Phoebe and now the greatest cat lady I have ever known. I find comfort in knowing that your children (human and feline), daughter in law, and me as one of your many friends, will never be without a part of you always within us thanks to the gifts you shared. My heart will keep you close until the time when we all will meet again. Rest in love dear Shannon.

I am still devastated as are all your Facebook friends. You touched so many lives on and off the internet. We will all miss you. Condolences to your children and their SO's and your kitties. RIP dear friend.

With deepest sympathies to Dawn and George and the kitties. Shannon brightened all our days with her posts and they will be sorely missed. It's still difficult to believe that she is with all of the others that have gone before us. May she rest in peace.
