Losing a grandparent is never easy. I work with Shannon at the JCC offices in Chicago, and I know that her character is a strong indication of a wonderful family. In high school, Shannon played clarinet in the Marion Catholic Marching Band. In both families and band, you learn the value of teamwork, and how everyone contributes. Peace and love to Shannon and to her great family.
