Your family has been in our hearts and prayers since Shanna first entered the hospital. We will continue to pray and lift you up before God as you grieve, knowing that Shanna is no longer stuggling or suffering. Peyton is a precious part of our Plain Dealing Lions' family. We do not understand the "why" of this situation, but we do know that God is with us through it all. "Be anxious about nothing, but in prayer and petitions with thanksgiving, present your requests before God and the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Phil 4:6-7. Blessed be,
