When Shannon was young, one of the movies we watched together, often when she was sick, (at least 400 or 500 times), was Charlotte's Web.  Later, when my daughter was young, we watched that same movie at least that many times again.  
Now we're all grown up and staying very busy so that we can't be over-taken by the grief of loosing Shannon.  Please take an hour or two with your families, young and old alike, and watch Charlotte's Web this holiday season.

Hey Shannon I will never forget the days when I used to walk to your house and wake your lazy butt up for school lol I would just sit there waiting for you, hang out with your mom a bit and she would feed me!.. We had some fun times for sure.. hanging out with Alex, Andrea, Devon and Chiyanne 

You and your family have been in my thoughts only the good die young love!!!

Sincerely Zoe

Beautiful Girl...

I'll always remember you girls (you, Devon, Andrea, Liz, Jenny, Zoe) running around the house talking of boys and makeup, dancing all crazy...sleeping in late. Picking you girls up, dropping you off. All of you full of smiles and laughter. My heart breaks and I can't begin to imagine what your family is going through. 

You are loved and will be dearly missed...

Lisa, Kim and Jack:  I am so sorry for your loss.  Shannon was a free spirit since the beginning and always did things her way.  For the 20 years she was with you she enjoyed life to the fullest and never regretted a thing.  You should have no regrets as well, you raised a daughter with love and compassion (and money) and there's nothing else she would have wanted or needed but that.  If there is anything I can do please let me know.  My heart is with you all.  Laurie

Even though we haven't seen each other in years, I always knew that when we would see each other it would feel like old time all over again.  I loved Shannon like one of my own when she and Ryann were younger and it pains me to hear of her passing.  I have you in my prayers every day.

Love Tracey

I can't begin to imagine what you must be experiencing now, but know that you have steadfast friends who are always available with a shoulder or just to bend an elbow with you.

Dear Lisa,Kem and Jack,

We wish we could have known Shannon; we've only heard lovely things about her from the family.  Please know that we are thinking of you every day and are thankful that you are surrounded by so many wonderful friends and loved ones.  We especially will be thinking of you on Saturday.  
Our love to you and all the family,
Barbara and Jeff

Dear Kem, Lisa and Jack,

I know that God has wonderful plans for Shannon. Otherwise He would not have taken her at such an early age. She is after all a lovely young woman and will remain forever young.

Washington Irving once said, “There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.”

Love and Peace,
Mum Mum

Shannon, I have so many memories of our times together, You were always a great cousin and fun to hang out with. I remember in San Diego when you and Andrea would color my coloring books with me. Thank you for always being there and supporting me, even when I was just being an annoying little cousin. I'll miss you and I'll never forget you. <3 xoxo

Kem, Lisa
I am so sad for you and your family. Lisa
I will forever remember your Shannon stories during our dinners at the Brewery Bar. Please know that my heart is with you and Kem. Love ya girl

Life is so fragile.  May your fond memories comfort you. We are so sorry.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.  Thinking of you, Yvonne and Fred

Years ago I came across this beautiful Eskimo proverb and I have always found it comforting when struggling with the loss of a loved one. May everyone who reads this, Shannon’s family and friends, find it comforting as well:

“Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”

Shannon is shining down upon us now…

my thoughts and prayers are with you! anything you need just call~ love,Dallas

Shannon, our beautiful and spirited angel.  Like no other, you have left your footprint in our lives. Our family will never be the same without you.  My love for always and ever...
Kelly

gir, you are beautiful. we didnt hang out on the daily, but every party we went to together and the luau and the jungle juice and you in your bikini and shorts and a grass skirt. i rememebr the days when i used to see you all the time, had a good few parties at your house. and even though we didn't hang out all the tiem, and i was definietly not the closest to you, i hope yourre going eith god and riding the wings of angels. you died way to young. i still can;t beliee you;re gone.
<3 you girl. R.I.P.

Lisa, my most sincere sympathy goes out  to you and your family at this difficult time.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Shannon you were the best cousin anyone could ever had asked for, even though you used to try and throw me down and spit on me :)  It is hard for me to think that you are no longer here anymore.  You were always the wild and brave one.  Remember when we went skiing and you just tucked and dove down the hill leaving me at the top.  You had never even skied before!  Those are the memories I will keep deep in my heart, the good times.  I will miss you more than words can describe and I will think about you every day.  Your warm smile and big heart will truly be missed.  I love you so much Shannon.

You’re Cousin,

Jenna

Kem, Lisa and Jack 

Words alone cannot express the deep sense of grief experienced by us all in this tragic loss.  We extend our thoughts and prayers to all of you.  Rest in peace Shannon.

With Love, 
The Eppers Family
Mike, Janet, Caroline and Jacob
