Sister Shawn Marie was one of my grade school teachers from third grade until I entered Highschool...she was certainly one of the most influential teachers I ever had and one of the best people anyone could know in their life...she went on to instruct my biological sisters from grade school through highschool... another story of how Heaven wins and Earth suffers the loss...she made many, very many lives insurmountably better and perfected the skill of teaching... I hope many, many more acknowledgements are made here as these become our final thoughts or goodbye's... I tip my hat and share the sign of the cross in respect!

Sister Shawn was a blessing to me even in some of her most challenging times last year. Pat was a blessing to me as well as she welcomed daily a celebration of live which was at the core of who Sister Shawn was. God bless you Pat and thank you. You taught us all about Sister Shawn and what love is all about. Peace and blessings to you.
