Shannon Chu Obituary
June 24, 1970 - April 3, 2018
On Tuesday, April 3, 2018, Shannon Kalia Chu, mother, daughter, sister, niece, aunt, cousin, and friend passed away suddenly at the age of 47 years. Shannon will be forever remembered by her precious children, Kiahna and Justin Norman, by her parents Winona Yamashita and Lani Chu, by her brother Adam Chu, by her sisters Lisa Greenough, Tyffany Hawes, and Amy Cepe, and by her grandmother Betty Gomes. Shannon will also be forever remembered by her best friend & cousin Jodi McClure along with her numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family and dear friends.
Shannon loved sandy beaches and sunny skies, especially in Hawaii. Hawaii brought her so much joy, but Kailua Beach was her true paradise. Shannon also adored and loved her special little kitty, Kelah. Kelah's unique personality kept Shannon laughing day in and day out. Shannon's love for Hawaii and her kitty was only surpassed by her love for her children and family. Her kids were the light of her life and she could not have been more proud to be their mother.
Shannon, we love you to the moon and back. Rest in Peace. E ho'omaha me ka maluhia.
A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, April 21, at 10:00 a.m., at Salas Brother Funeral Chapel, 419 Scenic Drive, Modesto, CA 95350.

Not much has changed regarding how I feel about you and what happened. I miss you every minute of every day. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams. It helps. I'll never be the same without you walking this earth with me. One year flew by, but felt so long. I still can't believe you're not here physically. But I know you are spiritually. I love you forever.

My heart aches so right now. I'm still waiting to wake up from this nightmare and find that it was just that, a nightmare. I don't want to believe you are gone, that I will never get to see you again. May you rest in peace my sweet, sassy friend. Love you forever and always.

Cousin...you will be forever missed but NEVER forgotten. I only wish I got to see you and not let so many years pass us by, and for you to meet my family. I hold so much regret and it breaks my heart. You always sent me comments about it. You opened my eyes and made me realize life is too short. I miss you so much. Rest in paradise cuz! I love you to heaven and back! I know you will be all our guardian angels ripping out your hair over us!

We will be laying you to rest in 4 days. I'm still trying to understand how all this happened. I won't let myself believe you're gone. I just want to pick up the phone and call you so bad. Because you'd be the one I'd run to when my heart was this broken. But I can't run to you. What am I gonna do without you? You were a piece of me. I will never be the same without you. I will forever be a shattered, broken shell of who I once was. I miss you more than anyone will ever know.
