psalms 23.

The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
he leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
For you are with me, thy rod and staff comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your momma jessica and zach.

I knew Shannon through Facebook for over 10 years. I watched Jessica grow up. If you go to the dictionary and look up sassery Shannon's picture would be there. What a hoot and what a Queen.

I remember visiting with her at school events. Also seeing her daughter when she was in elementary where I taught. She was a very dedicated mother. She will be missed.

What is there to say about Shannon. Well she loved her children dearly and would fight a bear to protect them. Shannon always spoke her mind and I loved that about her. Had some great conversations and some good laughs at sporting event. She was definitely one of a kind. Rest in peace Shannon.
