Not sure what to say?

My dear Shawn , peppermint tea makes me feel loved . Miss your presence, sure could use your sense of enlightenment

Still can´t believe you´re gone. I still draw inspiration from your deeds, laughter and kindness.

My deepest condolences to to the Lang family sending prayers.

My heart goes out to Corbett, Heidi, Gretchen, Tiger, Trish, their spouses and all our extended family members - such a loss for so many. I will cherish her presence on FB, sharing her recipes, obnoxiously parked vehicles and her passion for advocacy. Be at peace. With my love, Bonnie

Oh, my "Cousin", you are so very loved & missed by hundreds & hundreds of us. Rest easy in Love & Light

I admired Shawn for her authenticity. She spoke directly and honestly about things that matter. We can honor Shawn by doing the same.

Shawn was a beautiful soul, and I was enriched by knowing and working with her. As a legal aid lawyer, I was sometimes able to craft legal solutions to the many problems our clients living with HIV/AIDS encountered. She was a dynamic change advocate- her effectiveness was rooted in her honesty and her clear love for people who were disenfranchised. She sparkled and sparked.

Thanks, Shawn, for making people feel so loved and welcomed. You are such a role model for being human in your unabashed, unfiltered, genuine way. Will miss our chats about Alix and Corbett, Glen Campbell, and other mutual topics. You will never be forgotten.

Prayers to Family, Friends and the HUGE LBGT Community Shawn 6b advocated for. Thank You!
