I thought Shannon was a great person. She always had a smile and was very funny... The way she talked about you guys always brought a smile or a laugh even when it may have been something serious she always knew how to be positive or laugh at it. I hope & pray that your hearts will soon carry little sorrow, but instead be filled with wonderful memories of beautiful times together that you can cherish forever and also that you will soon come to a point where all of the wonderful things about Shannon you remind and tell eachother will no long bring heartbreak or tears but a smile for how amazing she was.. although I could not make it to the ceremonies I will definitely be praying for all of you and remembering happy memories of your beloved Shannon.

Bud I believe it was ment to be that we ran into each other last week at the doctors office and I had the chance to pray with you for Shannon and your family. I believe the Lord did have mercy on your Shannon by taking her home and stopping the pain and suffering in her body. Please keep in mind that she is safe in His arms and has a whole new gloriuos body and that we will all be able to be with her again. She is in heaven and safe.
God bless you all.

I can't understand why God has taken such a sweet person who's smile could light up a room. I guess he needed her more. May she rest in peace and may her family find comfort in knowing that she was a special person to alot of people and she will truly be missed.

Shannon was one of the most beautiful people, inside and out, that I have ever met. She was a fierce mother that loved her children more than anything in this world. I know that she's in a better place but she has left a huge hole in the lives of eveyone that knew her.

Shannon was a shining presence and an inspiring mother in Western Branch...and that was even before she got sick.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
