I'm sorry babe... I couldn't tell the difference how you could break hearts and make love by the way you move. Unable to imagine the potential you let me see in those eyes. My world's shattered in a million pieces. I know your looking down on me right now . And I know I was never big enough to stand my own ground because I hadn't the acceptance in my heart to see my own potential so I promise to open this light I've received from the values of my much loves cousin Shannon who didn't have a flaw she couldn't make a blessing outta . So I will miss you and pray your light is never overlooked so help me God. Your cousin David Deblere

My condolences to family and friends ,saying prayers , from the days of school to the inlaw reunions , and those years that flew by , God Bless

Some people are just too good in spirit to stay in this material world. This beautiful family took me in and gave me a home when I had no where to go. We have lost a great person, mother, friend to many. It’s hard to understand why things happen the way they do. My prayers for the family

Aunt Shan, I haven’t accepted the fact that you’re gone I don’t think I ever will! It’s been 6 days since your passing and I already miss you so much it hurts.. It’s hurts I won’t be able to see you, hug you, hear your laugh or see your beautiful face. I wake up everyday thinking about you in shock that you’re actually gone it doesn’t make sense you were so young and wiser than anyone in our family so why you? The question I’ll ask myself until I can see you again. I’ll love and miss you forever! I know you and aunt Angie are with each other and that gives me just a little peace love always your sis

God truly has someone special up there , I will miss you forever , you were the best woman I’ve ever had to pleasure of knowing and being loved by , I still can’t believe I’ll never feel your hug or hear your words again, I love you so much, I know your up there with Angie and I bet you guys are having the best time , until we meet again my wonderful loving caring smart aunt , there will never be another like you 

What a sad day and so unexpected, we lost someone so dear to our family, sweet Shannon. There are no words to say how we feel other than devastated heartbroken and more of the same. You will be remembered always for what a wonderful woman you were and the best mother ever. One day I’ll remember that we shared was the day you came over to my house and we spent it cooking Arabic food, you wanted to know how to do this for your hobby, such a fun day we had. Love you, sweet girl always will, and know you are so loved    Aunt Pammy 

Gone Too Soon, a beautiful lady with a heart to match. May you be a Shining Light to watch over your family and your wonderful grandchildren.

My beautiful sweet sister I will hold you in my heart forever. We met when you were 14 years old , and we have shared so many memories togethers. I will miss you dearly . I love you Shannon with all my heart .

Love your forever sister,

Pammy
