There are no words, you were a wonderful cheerful person, and made me look forward to my appointments, you took away my anxiety while I was in your chair. To say you will be missed is an understarment, praying for your family for them to find peace in this time of sorrow.

I wish to express my deepest sympathy for Shannon's passing. She was my dentist and I always had fun with her while she had her hands in my mouth as I was cracking jokes with her between procedures. I will miss her very much. Jim Jones
