To Shane aka "Moody Mama":
Shane, I can remember us in second grade together, sitting beside eachother learning how to write letters in cursive.I can remember the years spent laughing and carrying on all the way through high school.All the classes we had togehter and all the memories that were made. You were always the hyper one to make a bad day turn into a good one. You could always put a smile on my face, no matter how bad I felt or how mad I was. Now you are gone, but you have moved on to a better place.I know right now you probably have everyone laughing up there as you look down at us from heaven above.I was glad to hear that you was a missionary.The world needs more workers of the Lord. Thanks for all the good times and for making time spent at AES and AHS more enjoyable.I will see you again someday. ~RoRo~ AHS CLASS OF 2005!
To Shane's mom,dad, and family: I am so sorry about your loss. Shane was a very special person. He is one of the best people I know to have left Ashford High. My prayers and best wishes are with you all. May God lay his hand on you and your family through this time of grief. God bless you all.
