Shawn and family,
Please accept our deepest sympathies. Our hearts ache for your loss.

Shawn, although I knew your mom for only a year, I will always remember her because she was so kind to me when we moved in. I will always have fond memories of seeing her getting ready for your many camping trips, wishing I was going too! I hope you find comfort knowing that you and your Mom are loved by many friends.

You will be in our thoughts and prayers always.

Michelle, I just want you to know how much I have valued our friendship. It has been such a treasure to watch our children grow together. Their laughter when they get together is always so contagious.

My dear friend, I am so going to miss you and I know that every time I look at a snowman at Christmas time I will think of you.

You and Shawn are in our prayers and I know we will meet again.

I wish we could have one more coffee clutch and chat. I love you..

Shawn and family,
Michelle and I have worked together for the last 3 years. During that time we went from just working together to being friends. We experienced some dark times together in our work environment and I know I would never have made it though them without her humor, kindness, and encouragement. Whenever I was feeling down, Michelle could make me laugh. There are so many things that I am going to miss. Talking about our favorite TV shows, (now who's going to remind me when they're on?) going to lunch, talking about farmville and cafeworld (who got me hooked on those?!)and just someone who got my sick and twisted jokes! I already have so many things I need to tell you! Shawn, you are Michelles world. She is so proud of you! One of the most happiest and most proud I have ever seen her look was when she brought the photo album of your birth and childhood to work. She had a special story for just about every picture! Michelle is so devoted to you and wanted so much for you to do well in school. We talked many times about how your schoolwork was getting so difficult that she was not sure how much longer she was going to be able to help with it. Having experienced that myself with my own kids, I knew exactly where she was coming from. Shawn she loves you with her whole heart, body and soul! Charlene although we only met a few times, I can tell you that Michelle talked of you often. How grateful she was for everything that you and Arlen had done for her and Shawn. How proud she was of you for how creative you are and how she could always count on you to come through in a pinch for anything that Shawn might need. She told me more than once how lucky she was to have you and Arlen.
Michelle, I miss you more than words can say. Remember our joke? Well I never thought in a million years that you would get there before me, but I expect you to have the party jumping when I get there! I love you and will be forever grateful for everything you have done for me. I suspect it is much more than I know!

Dearest Shawn and Family,

Michelle and I worked together for many years and even though I moved on to another job, we continued to keep in touch. As everyone knows Michelle was so very proud of her family. Shawn was the very light of her life. We were together at work when she found out she was pregnant with Shawn. Many tears and laughing were heard throughout the office. No secret could be kept. She glowed !!. We listened to Shawns heart tones together at work over the months of her pregnancy. Ultrasound confirmed she was having a girl. I guessed boy and continued until the morning she called to tell us all she had a beautiful red headed baby BOY!!
Shawn, I know your family will always tell you how much your mother loved you. She was devoted to you. You were Loved as the most precious and important person in her life!
The LORD be with you sweet Michelle. LORD, wrap your loving arms and healing faith around Michelles family and especially Shawn. Let him dream only of his mothers love, her laugh and beautiful smile.
I will miss you always
Love, Janeen
