Sorry I was unable to attend. I remember Shannon contacting me throughout my travels and wish I could have been around more. We had many good times. If there is ever anything I can do for any of the family please don't hesitate. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. God bless.

I cant begin to imagine how much Shannon is already missed. I'm so sorry that words are all I have to offer, it doesnt seem fair. But I take some comfort in knowing that he's with his Mom. To imagine that, may it help you get by from time to time. Wayne I'm sorry.
