Shawna was a beautiful young lady I feel blessed that she was brought into our lives by Joshua. I have never seen a more loving and happy couple than the two of them. They are the true definition of TRUE LOVE. Love Always and Forever.

Death is so unkind to take this beautiful young girl at the age of 24. I did not know Shawna or her family. However, I was touched by the things that was said about her in the newspaper. I know that if Shawna could communicate with her family that she would tell you all that she is still very much alive. But even though she could tell her family this.....it still saddens me that she has left this world at the age of 24. It sounds like she had so much to live for and the police department needs more hard working officers like her. She would of been a good police officer!! AND, maybe the fact that she was born on a Sunday and died on a Sunday, maybe she was met to leave!!

Dear Josh and Shawna's Family,
I had the wonderful privellidge of spending the last day of Shawna's life with her. All she could talk about was her wonderful family and how they were her best friends. She made me English pancakes and told me the story of when her grandparents first ate American pancakes. It was a funny story. How proud she was when she described each and every one of her members of her family to me.She loved you guys so much. Josh after you went to bed that night she told me how much she loved you and she had found her true love. I am so very greatful that I got to meet her and feel of her love. She was a wondeful person.I am so sorry for your loss. She truely was a blessing from Heaven. She has left an imprint in my heart forever. She is an unforgettable person.
love,
Lisa Bird (Josh's Cousin)

I became pregnant in the ninth grade, and Shawna always knew what i was going through and what i was feeling. Her mother was also pregnant and that might be how she knew so much, but she was always there when i needed someone to talk to! I learned about her passing while i was browsing the obituaries on my Birthday, and i want her family to know that they had a wonderful, caring, and kind daughter. My heart and prayers are with her family! Love Rachel

Dearest Family, We cannot express in words our sorrow of Shawna's death and your loss. My husband and daughters were privileged and thrilled to attend Josh & Shawna's wedding. What a joy to see them together! Shawna was a lovely young woman and clearly happy to be marrying Josh. We are glad they could be together this last 17 months. Our family will miss Shawna and the joy she brought to Josh, family and friends. Our love and support to all at this sad time. We will always remember Shawna as a beautiful person.

We are so sorry to hear the news about Shawna. We never knew her, but remember seeing her and all of you in Mass every Sunday at St. Joseph the Worker. We remember thinking "those kids are so reverent" You have a beautiful and close family and we enjoy seeing you every weekend at St. Johns. (we always sit by you)
Just as Jesus carried his cross with courage and love, may God give you courage and strength to bear all burdens and sorrows that come your way.
