Paul Shanno Obituary

EAST GREENBUSH Paul R. Shanno, age 9, of East Greenbush passed away suddenly at Albany Medical Center after a brief illness. Born in Albany, he was a resident of the Capital Region all of his courageous life. He was a student at the Kevin Langan School at the Center for the Disabled. He was the youngest player to join the Challenger little League for Castleton and East Greenbush and a member of the Stride Bowling League of Rensselaer. Paul enjoyed the sounds of other children's voices especially those of little girls and loved to swim. He loved to ride the school bus and was a joyful little angel. He loved long walks on a warm summer day and enjoyed listening to his music with his headphones. His giggles and smile would brighten up a raining day! Paul was the beloved son of Danielle L. Shanno; precious grandson of Rose M. Shanno of East Greenbush; nephew of Patrick Shanno of East Greenbush, Pam and Jim Garhartt of Johnsonville, Denise Adams of Troy, Yvonne Hanley of Altamont, Darlene and Dominick Peek of Schenectady. He is also survived by many cousins, wonderful teachers and very special friends. Our beloved ray of sunshine will be missed. Relatives and friends are invited to attend his service Monday at 11 a.m. from the Wm. J. Rockefeller Funeral Home, 165 Columbia Tpk., Rensselaer. Family and friends are invited and may call Sunday evening 4-7 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will be in the Holy Sepulcher Cemetery East Greenbush. The family has requested that those who wish make memorial contributions do so to the Center for the Disabled, 314 South Manning Blvd., Albany, 12208, Children's Hospital of Albany Medical Center, New Scotland Ave, Albany, NY 12208 or the Habitat for Humanity for the Capital District, 696 Delaware Ave., Albany, NY 12209.

Danielle & Rose,



I never met Paulie, but I sympathize with you. You both are very sweet, caring individuals and my heart goes out to you both. I just recently lost my father, so I know what you are going through as well. Paulie is now in a better place with God in heaven. God bless.



Sincerely,

Dani- Although I never got to personally meet Paulie I felt like I knew him based on our phone conversations. I am really saddened by your loss..but I am sure that God has great plans for your "little man". You have been a great friend from afar and I am positive that you were the best Mom a boy could have.

Dani...just wanted you to know I visited the sites on Paulie's condition. He is so precious and I am so very touched by your story and the love I felt as I read it. My son, Clay, passed 10-07-02 and although he was healthy and his passing was due to an accident, I can feel your pain of losing a child. I learned of your Paulie on APFH. My prayers are with you as you cope with your loss...Pnyllis

You have been blessed with a wonderful child from God who lived life to the fullest allowed to him, and you have also been blessed with the strenght of a Supermom who I truly admire for your never ending courage and your faith. You have been a mom & dad to Pauli who always gave 110% to anything that you have to do for him as well as yourself. Let this difficult time bring you to a warm place of rememberance and appreciation for all of the good things that we are fortunate enough to have in this lifetime. Everything happens for a reason, but we don't always see that at the time. May god continue to pass blessings on you & your family. I am always and will be a true friend when you need one!



Love Ricardo
