I heard this song, The Lighthouse this week and I could hear Shawntell´s voice singing it so beautifully. When Donnie, Tobie, and Shawntell played that song, angels paused to listen in
awe of the magic. What a great blessed memory. See you soon my dear friend.

Shawntell was like the little sister I never had. I had the pleasure of playing drums for her and Denver Collett at the New Life Ministries church for about two years. I will miss her smile and laughter. She could make you feel happy when things looked bad and brought great joy to all of us. During the times we were playing at church you could see the joy of god on her face. Her voice sounded as if it came straight from heaven. We will miss you Shawntell.

Love,

Another christian soldier is welcomed home. Shawntell was a very good friend in high school, I will never forget the time we sat at the piano and wrote a christian song together. My deepest sympathy and prayers to her family.

Shawntell was one of the best. She was an inspirational singer and witness for God. It was my extreme pleasure to have shared some good times (an awesome Christian music) with her and her family at New Life Ministries - She will be missed. May your final journey give you peace - we will all meet again - see you soon - your loving friend forever

She was my best friend all through High school and for a long time after, until we lost touch. I was fortunate enough to see her one last time at the sad passing of her mother just last month. It saddens me beyond word, my heart is broken, and I will greatly miss her smile, Beautiful voice and music. May she finely rest in God's loving arms, where she will never hurt or be hurt again.
