I still can’t believe you’re gone. I miss you

Shannon, I am just now finding out that you passed away in December. My heart goes out to your children and family. We worked together at Nordstrom Card Services for a year and you were such a wonderful friend. Your smile was so contagious and so was your laugh. I will miss our friendship, you have a place in my ❤. Heaven gained an angel December 1st. 

I'm going to miss her, I will be keeping your family in my thoughts through this difficult time, my sincere condolences.

Shannon, 
I can't believe I have to say good bye to you so soon, I want to thank you for so many happy, fun, crazy memories I will never forget, I'm going to miss you, you will always be laughing and smiling in my heart. RIP my friend.



Wishing I was able to make it out to Denver for the services. Shannon always brought life into the day with her smile and crazy attitude.  I will always remember hanging out at Wash Park,  Soda Rock, The Coffee Nut and of course "cookie isle" hehe. My dearest condolences to her family and friends. The world has lost an amazing woman but heaven has gained an angel. She will be missed. 

Shannon was a child hood friend we grew up in southeast Denver together. I remember us running around the entire neighborhood together we walked home from school together. Shannon always had this huge infectious smile. I’m going to miss her and will never forget her and her smile. Rest in Heaven..... love you 

Unfortunately I was unable to attend today due to being exposed to covid.  Shannon was a great friend who I met while working at Sprint.  She kept us all laughing all the time.  Me and Shannon spent a lot of time in our bosses office telling jokes, and it always end with us getting kicked out because Shannon would make an inappropriate comment.  She had called me just days before she went to the hospital and we talked about getting together when Covid was over.  I’m grateful that I was able to meet her and be her friend.  I will miss her.  The world has lost an amazing woman.

As a former co worker of Shannon s I remember her smile and the love for her children! Shannon and I had a hoola  hoop battle .. . And fell out laughing when she said " I should have gone in for 2 more minutes.... to beat you!! My prayers are with your family and children!

Sending love to Shannon's family and especially her children.  This is so hard to write its surreal that you will not be around to make inappropriate jokes or that we will not see your million dollar smile or hear your loud laugh.  Shannon always was easygoing and very kind, even in the most difficult of times.  I love you friend, we will all be reminded of you through your beautiful children.  

Linda, Symone and Sam...Rasheedah and I send our love, condolences, prayers and thoughts to you across the miles. Especially today. We have known your family since we were young children. Grateful for the friendship Linda and our Mom shared that allowed us wonderful and lasting childhood memories with the Smith siblings. Shannon had a light that shined so brightly in every interaction she had and person she encountered. That never changed from childhood through her adult years! She will be truly missed. I know her legacy will continue on through all of your cherished memories and her beautiful children. I had to hunt for this picture as it is still one of my favs from an Easter Sunday in the mid 80s at East Village....We wish you healing and peace during this unimaginably difficult time. 

I only met you once at Rae Rae's baby shower.  However, what I remember most is your amazing smile, I knew instantly you were Sam's sister.   You had a personality that beamed just like that 1000W smile. 

My most sincere condolences to all those who love you and who's lives you have touched.   Being that I remember you 20+ years later.  I know your family and friends will never forget you. 

Love Stacey

I'll forever be grateful you were in my life and for the relationship we had. You were truly one of a kind in every way.

I remember the first time I met Shannon, during a blizzard stuck inside a hotel. I knew from the moment we met we had something special and unbreakable. 

My favorite memories are our talks over lunch (usually salads) for hours- laughing, confiding in each other, talking about her beautiful babies and our hopes and dreams. We’d try so hard to make each other laugh. 

To know Shannon is to love her. 

My thoughts and prayers are with her family, you’ll always be in my heart. 








We were attached at the hip as kids. You couldn’t keep us apart for long. 

You were a girl and I was a boy and we were BFFs. 

I was 11 years old when after a long night of laughing and joking we fell asleep in your room.

The next morning your dad walked in and found us sleeping in your bed. 

I remember jumping up so fast thinking your dad is going to kill me.... 

I look over at you and all you could do was laugh, then your dad started laughing cause of how terrified I was. 

We joked about that morning for many years after. You always knew how to make me laugh so hard I would cry.  💜

You changed my life Shannon, I am going to miss you so so so so much. Until we see each other again my favorite Taurus, I love you.

Our favorite memory is meeting on a zoom call! To learn we are indeed blood relatives will always be a blessing to me and my wife. Shae resembled my newfound brother/ your Dad and it was encouraging to my heart to meet her right on time. I of course wish to have gotten to know her more. The pictures I’m seeing now are memories I’m grateful to see from others. We have one photo my wife took of their makeup class on zoom, which was fun!
The heartbreak is real and we have faith that everyone will feel comfort over time.
