January 10, 2019

We would to extend our sincere condolences for the loss of Shane. I (Susanne Bessette) grew up with the Chet and Veronica Bisnett family and was saddened to read about Shane's passing last evening. I had hoped to attend the services, but due to the storm today I decided to stay home. Hugs for the entire family including Veronica, Colleen, Chet Jr, Mike, Betsy and Barbara (hoping I didn't forget anyone). We pray you are consoled by the great memories you have of Shane.
Lots of love, Stan & Susanne

Dear Bisnett family,
My heart is with you. The pictures brought back so many memories. An early one stood out to me…the photo of six cousins sitting on a couch: three babies (one of whom was Shane), a toddler (Ryan), Garrett, and me. It brought back to mind those crazy and wonderful early days of baby and toddler cousins running all around at family events. It was probably rather chaotic at the time, yet I remember it very fondly. And I remember Shane when he was a kid (before I moved away), as full of energy and enthusiastic for the next adventure with his cousins and friends.
You are close to my heart today, and always,
Kim

Dear Eve and Chet,
Words can’t describe what you must be going through. We are so sorry and shocked to hear the news. We certainly got to see Shane’s warm and loving side. No matter where, he always had a hug to share. I loved seeing the prom picture. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I watched Shane grow up as I was one of his older cousins. We both basically grew up down the river from each other, waterskiing, wake boarding, boating and tubing. Those summers growing up on the river were some of the best days, it was a great way to grow up. There are so many good memories there’s too many to recount but I’ll always cherish all of them.
My heart is with the Bisnett family.
Garrett

I remember how much Shane enjoyed playing hockey in his younger years. I attended one of his games at the Pine Street Arena. A very nice young man! RIP Shane.
