I am a co-worker of Candice's. I want to offer my sincere condolences in the loss of Shane. It is so hard to lose a loved one, but take comfort in knowing that he is in a much better place and will hurt no more. God has a plan for all of us, just know that what ever he does it is for the best. Keep trusting in him.

Candice,
I am so sorry about Shane's passing. I know you and your family loved him deeply and you will all dearly miss him. He fought the good fight and you were there for and with him and Mary Ann. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

Mary Ann,
I can't believe Shane is gone. We thought the world of the both of you. Always enjoyed meeting on a Friday night and going out to eat. I say a prayer for you everyday because the following days will be the hardest. Just depend on the love of your God, family and friends and their strength will help you through.
With all our love.

Where do I begin. Mary Ann, you and Shane have been 2 of the best friends that anyone could ask for. It just don't seem real that Shane will no longer be with us. He was a sincere friend and a wonderful extended "dad" to Ashley and Jonathan. My kids loved the time they spent around Shane and Jonathan was looking forward to the rematch of the turkey shoot this year! I KNOW in my heart that he is with the Lord because he was the most faithful Christian I have ever been aquainted with. He will truly be missed!
