To the family of my niece Shauna, May all the wonderful times be your best memories
My heart and prayers go out to Shauna’s family and close friends. Shauna and I went to grade school together for as many years as I can remember. I have fond memories of the largest sleep over I ever went to at her house in Willow Springs, girl scout outings with Lori as our troop leader, countless volleyball games, some awkward cheerleading pyramids, and sitting together at graduation. Though it has been many years since I’ve seen her, I will always remember Shauna as someone who was kind to me and I am thankful to have shared a piece of my childhood with her. –Begging the Lord to give little Reese comfort. It’s an unimaginable loss.
Please accept my deepest heartfelt sympathies. I was so saddened to hear of your loss.
Words of comfort simply cannot meet the magnitude of your loss in a life too short. May you find that on the most difficult days the beauty of memories bring comfort. We will be keeping all of Shauna’s family in our prayers.
My deepest condolences on your loss. I had a privilege of knowing Shauna for about 3 years since she came to work for CIMPAR in the position of a nurse practitioner. She was vibrant and capable, responsive and responsible, creative and communicative. With her bright, caring and warm personality she touched so many lives. And she had so much going for herself and her young family, until the disease took its dreadful toll. One beautiful soul has taken a flight to heaven and there is one beautiful new star shining out there. Shauna will stay in my loving memory.
