Shaina was one of the happiest persons I knew. I saw her shortly before she passed when she came to Food Court at Costco.... She just wanted to see me and let me know that everything was going well, she flashed that bright smile at me w then she was gone.

Sam, Diane & Scott, I'm sorry there is nothing I can say to ease your families pain because that is what I wish most to do. I was lucky enough to meet Shaina once and I will never forget her smile. I've gotten to know her spirit through reading the descriptive posts from everyone. It's apparent how very much she was loved by you all. May the heaviness in your hearts feel lighter; I think that's what Shaina would want. Sending love, hugs, and peace in your heart from all of us to all of you.

Hi Shaina, you remain on my mind, front row and center, as I go about the busyness of my day. And when I walk the beach, and listen to the wisdom of the waves, I think of you....Be comforted in knowing that your love and light continue to shine.... Love Auntie Feather Touch and family, xo

Scott, Diane and Sammy--Your "Shaina maideleh" was truly a joy to all who knew her! I can't believe we will never see her and her million megawatt smile again. That is the greatest pain of all, but I find solace in knowing that she brought joy to so many and left a beautiful legacy of caring for and nurturing others. We will never forget her. xoxox Sending love and hugs your way. <3

Shaina,
You were one of the most beautiful people I'd ever met. You changed my life. It feels like just yesterday we were skydiving together.
You will be forever missed...

I miss Shaina so much. She remains such a huge part of my life. I think anyone who was lucky enough to encounter her feels the same impact. It is impossible not to love her. And to the Abrams family, you are always close to my heart. My family and I send our love and prayers every day. Scott and Diane, you created the most special person! I see Shaina in all the nature around me. That is something I hold onto forever. And Sammy, Shaina was so protective of you! And now you have the most beautiful angel watching over you. Laughter and hugs are the essence of Shaina, don't you think? Love Always

I haven't had the words to write since I found out about Shaina's passing. I have been so saddened by this loss, and can only recall all the times we had with her growing up. My brothers and I were sad to miss the memorial, but we were able to stop by the gravesite and show our respects. Love to you all during this tremendously difficult time!

Dear Abrams family, My heart goes out to you over the loss of dear sweet Shaina. She and I reconnected a couple years ago at the AG ATT store when I bought my new iPhone. The VERY first picture on my new phone was a selfie we took together. I am still in disbelief that she is gone. Hugs to all of you during this sad & difficult time.

Shaina always had a lovely sparkle in her eyes and she loved all my animals and always asked about them. Some people are too good for this earth and maybe are meant to be angels. I know Scott and Diane and Sam loved her so and did everything they could for her. We will miss her shinning light.

I am lucky to have lived on this earth at the same time as you, much less to have the gift of your friendship and empathy. I wish I could have just one more day with you and see your smile. You don't have to feel pain anymore and for that I am grateful... You were too good for this world. I love you and I will never forget you.

There will always be a Shaina shaped piece in my heart. I cannot find the right words but you taught me that it doesn't have to be perfect, that it can be flawed or "ugly" and you would still love it and you would call it beautiful. Our paths will cross again, until then, I love you Shaina! Fly High and take it all in for me<3<3

Shaina was able to find light and humor in any situation. She was so sharp, witty, and could've been a stand up comedian. Her compassion and empathy for others was insurmountable and I'm so grateful I had the chance to know her. Sending love and light to the Abrams Family.

RIP Shaina. I can not even begin to explain how much you meant to me. You were my sister, my room mate, at times my enemy, you were my friend. You helped me through so many hard times in my life I only wish I could have been there to return the favor. You are deeply missed and will never be forgotten. I'll always think of you as I twirl my pen in class. You taught me that time is so precious.. I only wish I had more time to spend with you. I pray you are at peace now and that your soul is free. I wish you luck in your new journey.

The very first time I met shaina she had that smile. Ya know the on everyone is talking about, just like her dad. She was about 6 years old and my son, Stephen was on her ball team. He was new and didn't know anyone. Shaina welcomed him by playing catch with him. I remember thinking that is one special kid.
Seeing her on and off for the past 20 years , she never missed an opportunity to come up and talk and ask me how I was doing.
A special girl, a creative soul, and a loving person, you will never be forgotten.
Diane, Scott and I hope you can find some peace in knowing what a beautiful girl you raised.

My deepest condolences to your family. I only knew Shaina for ten months, but saw her just about every day during that time, as she came over to see Alexis. I've never met a more intelligent young person. She was funny, kind and compassionate, all of which she conveyed to the fullest. And that smile! Oh that beautiful infectious smile. I will miss her.

Dear Diane, Scott and Sam,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Shaina was one of Sholeh's earliest childhood friends. She made such an impression on us with her beautiful, angelic face and the joy that we felt everytime she was around. At the same time she was so mature for her years. I was so happy to have such a sweet girl in the neighborhood and remember many happy times they spent together playing and having sleep overs. Even though we haven't seen Shaina in a long time, we still talk about those early days and it always brings a smile to my face. She will always be in our hearts. Rest in peace sweet Shaina.

Abrams Family,
My thoughts are with you in this dark time. I am so sorry for your loss. Diane, I'm sure you remember when Shaina and I bonded at CBD back when she was a little girl. We reconnected later in life and it was so clear to me that she was still such a unique, warm, and extremely loving person. I know that she will be dearly missed.

Although if only had the pleasure of Shaina's friendship for a few years, from the moment I met her, I felt as if we had been friends for a lifetime. I took that as a sign that our paths were destined to cross, and I am so thankful to have known such a lovely woman and kindred soul.

Shaina! We were in group together at Cross Creek, we bonded, grew together, loved each other and hated each other at times! But when you live together 24/7 I know that's totally normal! You taught me so much and inspired me to be completely myself. What hurts so badly is that just on Sunday you were very heavy on my heart and I tried to search for you on Facebook to see how you were doing. I had found a picture from Cross Creek and it cheered me up to see your bright and shining face. This is all just gut wrenching and I hate that this is happening. You and Tracy in one week. Both of you so close to each other at CCM and now in the arms of each other in a peaceful place. I truly hope you know how much you were loved, and are still loved!

Shaina, I will always remember your energy! Every time I would see you at the gym or wherever, you were smiling and kind. You cared so much for the children you always watched.

I met this ray of sunshine in Big Sur last year - and ever since, seeing her always made my joy increase. Loved her smile and her giant hugs and her hugely creative spirit. Wish I could have taken away at least a little of her pain. Seems like some minds are just too big and too bright for what can sometimes seem like a small, dim world. Blessings and healing to her family of origin, and to her family of the spirit.
March 2, 2016
I didn't know Shaina personally, but I have been touched by the light of the people closest to her. She's a beacon and her light will shine on. Rest well beautiful spirit.
