Dereck,

Although most of us didn't have the opportunity to meet Shannon, she touched us in such a positive way & inspired us to be better a better friend, parent, spouse, sister etc. As Shannon stated, "Time is precious and we all can be gone in an instant. Sure it's easy to get sidetracked with the day to day grinds of our lives with work, kid's school activities, dinner and bedtime. Just remember tomorrow isn't guaranteed for any of us." Reading the several messages posted within this Guest confirms Shannon was a wonderful, caring and strong person!

Your second family in AZ & OH have you and your family in our daily thoughts and prayers. May God bring you and the kids strength and peace during this difficult time.

We love ya!

Shannon you were so loved by many. God decided that you need not suffer any more so he wrapped his arms around you and said that it was time to go. May the love shared by you and family and friends help others find strength in the knowledge that you found your place in God's Paradise and that you are with your Grandma. Even though physically you are not here you are here spiritually with everyone's memories, love and hearts. Rest in peace

Oh Shannon... such a high spirited happy person, and if at times she wasn't, no one really knew! After watching her first child Sydney for her first six years, then later watching son Aidan and then for a short time baby Jackson, I can honestly say she was not only a beautiful loving mom, but also just a beautiful happy person in general. She loved to laugh and always looked at the bright side of everything! I will miss her smile and laughter and though its been a while since I took care of 3 out of 4 of her beautiful children full time, I will always cherish our special talks each day when she came to get the kids. We had fun times outside of work time also and our special friendship will be so missed but never ever forgotten. I truly believe she will be "an angel among us" and will be watching over all her loved ones, family, friends, husband, and especially her children. Heaven truly has a very bright shining new angel now. I know when she found out I had lost my full term baby, her eyes filled with tears though it had happened a couple years prior. Its one of the few times I ever seen her get so emotional. I feel good knowing she is there in that same place as my baby Taylor and is giving her hugs and love from me. Yes she was one of the strongest people I have EVER known, because even when she told me at my daughters graduation party that drs. gave her 6 mo- to a year, she kind of brushed it off, smiled and before tears completely filled my eyes, she said she didn't think they were correct and was not going to let that happen. I know she was afraid of crying if I started to. Gosh again... What a strong girl!!! She will always be my idol! Her husband Dereck, Barb her mom, her siblings, and her children were all so strong during all this. What great people they all are also.I thank God they were in her life. Gone but never forgotten!

Barb - I never knew your daughter, but if she was anything like you - she must have been a hero - i cannot begin to understand your pain, but I hope with the support of your loving family, you will all come thru this - no words can help right now, but hopefully thru time, your pain will ease. May her soul be so present with her children, mother, father and all that got the chance to love her - love, Debby

God sends a precious few into our lives that are more than "just friends". For them you go that extra step, to ensure that you know their wants, needs likes and dislikes. When they hurt, you try and take even share their pain to lighten their burden. You remember the smallest details to make them smile, the same smile that warms your heart each time you see it.

Because God creates them so extra special, it is when He calls them home to Heaven, we feel such loss. We must remember God gave them to us to love Him through them. To build everlasting precious memories of them, that forever will remain in our hearts until He calls us to join them.

Shannon,
You will remain in the hearts of the many who were all blessed to know you!

Love,
Anthony

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, ‘Peace bethine'.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
RIP my sweet friend
Hugs and Love always

God saw Shannon getting tired, a cure was not to be. He wrapped Shannon in his loving arms and whispered ‘Come with me.'
She suffered much in silence, her spirit did not bend.She faced her pain with courage, until the very end. She tried so hard to stay with us but her fight was not in vain,
God took Shannon to His loving home and freed her from the pain.
RIP my sweet and beautiful friend, till we meet again!
Love and hugs always
