Shannon was an amazing person. I have known her for years and worked with her when i first gratuated from tech school. I remember being at the emergency clinic and watching her and knew i wanted my vet tech skills to be as awesome as hers. So i followed her around and asked her a million questions. She answered everyone with kindness and enthusiasm. Over the years we have kept in contact and commented on some crazy shifts in The ER. I recent ha the chance to meet Hannah , what an amazing little girl. My deepest sympathies to the entire family for your loss. she was an amazing person and we were all blessed to know her.

I worked with Shannon for several years as a vet tech at the Animal Emergency Clinic. She was the most energetic person I have ever met. She even once quit a job at another clinic because they didn't keep her busy enough. She was so much fun to be with, great at her job, and kept the place running smooth. I left the clinic in 2007 but kept in touch with Shannon through facebook. She shared with us the joy and struggles of being a single parent and sorrow when she lost her old friend Bucky. She touched the lives of all her knew her and we are deeply saddened by her death. I pray for your family daily for the hurt to heal.
