On your 35th birthday, I wish you a Heavenly Birthday. The years have gone by and you are infinitely loved and missed. Today reminds me of how much you loved birthday celebrations, family, and friends. I imagine you are adorned in purple and green, celebrating with new and old Angels, and dancing on rainbows from above. There must be a chicken tender or wing somewhere up there and some honey mustard sauce. I'm reminicising on how much fun we had, how many plans you had for your future, and how much love you gave to Earth. A ray of incredible sunshine that shines today and always. I will love you always and carry you with me each second of each day until i see you again. Love to you and Michele. Happy 35th Birthday in Heaven. I LOVE YOU!
Your Sister

Even though the years have passed since 2008, the love I have for you has never faded. I carry you in memory with me every single day. Your laughter, your spirit, and the bond we shared will forever live in my heart. Rest peacefully, my beautiful sister until we meet again.

My Angel in the Sky,

For GOD will call us home one day, eternity to gain; His arms outstretched to welcome one, the other to sustain.
You will always be in our hearts and never 4gotten, rest in peace my 4ever ANGEL

I don't think words will ever be able to express how I feel knowing u will never come back. I find myself thinking about u and aunt Chell a lot, its crazy yall both gone. A lot of things has changed, we've all grown and have matured. I have a son now named Dior, he was born Aug.15, 2010. That month scared me so much all I did was think of u, I miss your smile, laugh, and your unique style. Sometimes I still can't believe u and aunt Chell gone. I will always miss you and aunt Chell 4ever my Ladies. Happy Birthday ShaNee???

October 17, 2012
And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset when the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here along the greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will
Loveliness we've lost these empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry for our beloved golden child
And even though we try the truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years....
Dearest Daughter, Happy Birthday in Heaven. When you left us, our world forever changed. A shining star, a candle in the wind.... I love you!

Thinking of you today, as I do every day. Wondering of the woman you would have become here on Earth and how we would be shopping all over town this weekend or maybe you would be off with your friends having a ball and celebrating your 21st birthday weekend. I miss you and love you so very much dearest daughter and fashionista!
At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Trying to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too.....

We wondered how we would get through another Thanksgiving without you and our first without Mom Cora, Aunt Bunt and Greta. Then we thought about how much you are surrounded by family and our Heavenly Father. Still, we wish you were here and holidays were how they used to be before you passed on to Glory.
We miss you with all of our hearts and are deeply thankful to God for the 17 years of life and memories.
Love,

Happy 20th Birthday Dearest ShaNee,
Your Birthday in Heaven must be a beautiful sight! I am sure the angels are singing to you, and your mother, Aunt Bunt and other family and friends are all around you. I bet there are rays of beauty everywhere, and you are having a glorious time. I bet you are enjoying your day like no other.
It is very selfish of us to wish you were here with us, and we know you understand our sadness. Until we meet again, we wipe away tears as we send our love and a thousand and one kisses.

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

" LITTLE ANGELS"
When God calls little children to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but a few,
To make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye".
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind must realize,
God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
Author Unkown
Sha'Nee, my darling daughter, O' how I miss you! Not a day goes by without thoughts of you and my love for you dwells deeply in my heart. I will forever miss our private moments together and deep laughter. Losing you is a moment relived over and over again. No one can ever imagine how I feel and how much I wish for just one more moment in time with you. Rest on dearest, my Tweety Bird, until we meet again.
Love, Daddy

Precious Loan
© By Anonymous
God blesses us each with so many things
And sometimes that blessing is a child.
He chooses a special angel, picked just for you
And loans them to you for awhile.
From the time they arrive
They hold your heart in their hands
And add countless precious moments to your life
And each night we bow down and ask the good Lord above
To protect them and keep them from strife.
For this oh so precious gift,
God doesn't ask a large fee.
“Just love and care for them,
and teach them of Me”.
So we do what we can,
We work hard and we pray
And watch them blossom and grow
With each passing day.
Not one of us knows how long they'll be here
Or when God will call for his loan,
And take that special angel, picked just for you
Back to his glorious home.
But he made us a promise and I have no doubt,
He will carry you through this great sorrow.
Because when it's your time, she'll be first to greet you
And you'll be blessed with an eternity of tomorrows.
In Loving Memory of Sha'Nee, Precious Loan, daughter, sister, cousin, niece, classmate, friend, and now God's Angel.
Love, Jenise

A 2nd Mother's Day without you. Today was a bittersweet day. I cherish all of the memories of you and the times we shared. I find comfort in knowing you are with your Mom and our Heavenly Father. I had some chicken strips and wings in your honor! O' how I miss you asking for gourmet chicken strips! I light a candle in your memory here at home and virtually online. I love you.

Christmas In Heaven
We’re wondering what Christmas in Heaven is like
As we grieve alone and pray,
longing for one who has gone before
To spend Christmas in Heaven today.
And so in our dreams we wander far
From the scenes and sounds of Earth
‘Til we catch the strains of the Heavenly choir
As they sing of the Christ Child’s birth.
The Angels we envision there
As they join in the restal gay
And there amid the throng is our Loved One
Spending Christmas in Heaven today.
There’s joy in the faith that teaches
When our life’s work is done
Of a place in Heaven awaiting
And the crown we worked for is won.
In our grief may we learn well the lesson
So to work and suffer and pray
As to merit the joys of our loved one
And to spend Christmas together some day.
~author unknown
Merry Christmas Dearest Sha'Nee, our forever Angel.

My beautiful daughter you’re a blessing for sure.
You were loving, kind, compassionate and more.
My heart overcome, on that wonderful morn,
That day when my small baby girl was born.
We had our trials now and then,
But if given the chance, I’d do it again!
You never conformed; you had your own way.
And I watched you develop day after day.
An amazing young woman you turned out to be,
And no one is prouder of you than me.
I will always remember my baby my friend,
My heart holds you forever – a love without end.
Happy Birthday, Love Daddy

We looked toward the clouds today
and for a moment we saw your face,
peeking out from Heaven’s gates
far from Earth and a better place.
Did you show yourself to us today
to tell us you're alright?
Or was it just a daydream
playing tricks upon our sight?
Then we thought of when you left,
no time to say a word.
We never said good-bye, but
in our hearts, your good-bye was heard.
You have changed our lives forever,
your time here not in vain,
and hope you know we always wanted
to keep you safe from pain.
We will always feel the void inside
because you are not here,
But each new thought you send our way
let's us know you're always near.
So until our journey nears it's end
and we hear the angels sing,
we'll face each new day as it comes
and live off the love you bring.
Happy Birthday Dearest Sha'Nee

Dad, Jenise, Xavier, Laisha, Aliyah, and Zuri

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Happy Thanksgiving. We miss you so much. We hope your first Thanksgiving in Heaven was awesome! Your dear mother Michele has been gone a year. Instead of just mourning her passage, we now mourn yours too. Although we had a house full of family and friends today, you, our ray of Sunshine was missing from our day.
We are truly thankful for the 17 years we had you in our presence. We know you are with us in Spirit and know your Heavenly home is more beautiful then we can ever imagine.

My perfect sister holds me tight
My perfect sister kisses me goodnight
My perfect sister knows when I’m mad
My perfect sister helps me when I’m sad
My perfect sister is so smart
My perfect sister has my heart
My perfect sister is good and nice
My perfect sister holds me at night
My perfect sister loves me lots
My perfect sister ties the knot
My perfect sister is here to stay
My perfect sister I had until Monday
My perfect sister I wish you well
My perfect sister yes I can tell
My perfect sister asked if I lied
My perfect sister knows if I’ve cried
My perfect sister has moved away
My perfect sister is in my heart to and will always stay

Dear All,
Sha'Nee was a ray of sunshine that God allowed in my life and heart for eight short years. Having Sha'Nee as a stepdaughter was truly a blessing to me. Sha'Nee was my shopping partner, fashion consultant, cruise ship roadie, and overall a beloved daughter and friend. Sha'Nee made being a stepmother very easy. She was easy to love and a very, very loving child. We shared a lot of "firsts" and I am grateful for each special moment we shared that now lives on as a memory in my heart.
Losing Sha'Nee has been like a knife in the heart to all of us. Knowing Sha'Nee is safe in the arms of her mother Michelle and our God, gives me and hopefully you too, the strength to endure such a painful loss in our lives.
Xavier made an awesome video as a tribute to Sha'Nee's short time on this Earth and I hope that it is a blessing to you. It is on youtube and is titled In Memory of Sha'Nee Lauren Dougherty 8/18/08

Greg: Words cannot even begin to express. I just want to say to you that god is with you. It may not seem like it now, But god will not put on you more than you can bear. The only confort that I get out of all of this is that Sha'Nee is now with her mother Michelle. Its not much but I hope that it gives you comfort too. You are always in our hearts.

Shanee is the best friend that a girl could ever ask for. I became best friends with Shanee after meeting her our 9th grade year at Enterprise PCS. We grew so close together that she came to stay with me while her mom was in the hospital. I remember comforting her one time when we went to visit Ms. Michelle and Shanee broke down. I never lost anyone close to me until Shanee but i didnt lose her really she will always remain close to my heart. I will never let her go. Shanee was energetic and outspoken. Memories of when her grandmother (Marian Dunmore) took us on a church retreat in Ocean City, MD are fresh in my mind. Every second I spent with Shanee was memorable and i will never forget her. Love Always Your Bestest Friend Forever

As Sha'Nee's former teachers, we were deeply sadden to hear of her passing. Sha'Nee truly had a personality that will never be forgotten. May her memories comfort you when your sad.

Tracy,
May God continue to shower you with His love and may His peace embrace you as you've never been held. My heart sinks for you all. I have never met Sha'Nee, but because of her aunt Tracy my co-worker I have experienced just a little of Sha'Nee. There are no words that can erase the pain of losing a loved one. Though she isn't present with us in the earth realm, she is still showing that beautiful smile in the spirit. I know that to be absent from this body is to be present with the Lord. I believe that this beautiful young lady with such a vibrant spirit and vivacious smile is sitting back saying "don't cry" all is well with me...it is well with my soul! May you all forever be united in spirit and know that this baby girl is resting. She is one picked flower from the dozen, leaving eleven...her physical body will be exchanged for a glorified one in heaven. Though the pain grips you deeply within, Sha'Nee hasn't lost, but she's had a great big WIN!!!!! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!! In His love, peace and joy!!

Greg, Jenise and family I would like to express my love and condolences to you all. I never had the chance to physically meet Sha'Nee but through Jenise I feel that I already knew her. You were blessed with 17 wonderful years to have her. I pray that the Lord gives you peace, comfort and understanding in the midst of it all.
My love and prayers always to all of you .

It feels like yesterday, we all where outside playing... we hear the ice cream truck and take off running. Oh, not you with purse in hand both feet pointing north bound, with your sassy walk (memories) I remember the neighborhood kids including myself riding bikes, skating, playing tag and hide -n- go seek, not you; purse in hand sitting on the step afraid that you would get dirty (memories) As I close my eyes and think of our childhood I see all of the neighborhood kids sitting in my grandmother's house eating junk food and watching tv (memories) I have sooooooo many stories about our childhood and some of our teenage years MEMORIES that make me smile :-) Remember: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91

Mr. Dougherty,
Please except my sincere sympathy. I did not know your beautiful daughter, my heart aches for you and your family as we share the same pain. My 17 year old son lost his life on June 28, 2007, in the 3600 block of 22nd Street, SE. Just as your 17 year old daughter. Trust me I feel your pain, This pain is undescribale pain, no one would not understand until it they have walked in our shoes. To lose your young child, with such a promising future so unexpectally is such a tragedy. As I sit here expressing my personal feelings to you and your family I am emotionally upset. Its been a year since I lost my baby and the pain is still very intense. I will continue to pray for you and your family as you grieve during this difficult time.

Greg, My heat goes out to you on the loss of ShaNee your precious child. ShaNee was my loving niece that I will truly miss that free spirited, loving and caring child. My heart feels heavy and hurts but knowing that she's at peace and in heaven with her mother eases the pain somewhat. Remember that NO bond is as great as that between a parent and child. If there's anything that me and my family can do please do not hesitate to call.
Love Always Aunt Sandra & Family

Greg and Family.
I was truly saddened to hear about the loss of your daughter and love one. It always sad when we lose someone that we love but trust and believe that she is truly in a better place now and has taken her place as another heavenly angel up above. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Finding words to comfort a family experiencing such a loss is difficult; but know that God provides the ultimate comfort. Sha'Nee has moved on and is at peace, but you can honor her gift of life with the memories branded on your hearts.
May God Bless Your Family!

I also continued my education with Shanee, LaDonna and Chaunyse at Booker T. where we all graduated this year.(2008) Shanee knew how to dress and was always on point, she was just one of them friends you knew you could count on. I will always love Shanee, she is one of the greatest friends I have.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to ALL that may be mourning at this time. Sha'Nee and my daughter(LaDonna) had become very close and I'm pleased to have had the honor to have meet her. Sha'Nee decided that LaDonna, Chauynse and herself would continue their education at Booker T. and I'm glad. She had that take charge attitude and she decided what high school they would attend. Sha'Nee becasue of you, LaDonna, Chaunyse and yourself have graduated. I would like to say Thank You to you because you lead and others walked with you. May your family be blessed to know people loved to be around you. May You Rest in Peace

Our hearts are heavy. However, I want to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Shanee. I know there are no words that can calm the pain that you feel nor replace the wonderful neice you have lost; our only hope is that you know that others are grieving with you and will pray for peace in your life during this storm. God is, always has been, and always will be the ultimate healer and restorer. May His grace abide with you and your family.
