Shannon's Fight

My condolences, Chad, to you and your family. I tip my hat to you and your display of love and courage. I wish you and your boys the best for the future.
 
It brings tears to my eyes to hear the news.:sad:
we all knew it was coming, but once it happens is very tough to take. I too will keep you and the boys in my prayers.

A few people have asked Jeff about the services so I thought I would just post the info up here.

We are having a very informal service for shannon on this Saturday the 25th. It will be held at the fellowship church of granite bay. The address is 5635 douglas blvd granite bay CA.

Like I said there will be no formal services this is simply a wake style way to gather and remember shannon and be together. All are welcome but please do not feel obligated to attend. We will be having a potluck style food service again if you want to bring something great, if not also great.

Thanks again for all of your thoughts and kind words. I am slowly piecing my life back together and putting shannon to rest is a big part of that.

Thanks for posting Chad.

Kathy and I were discussing last night about coming down there now...but we've got to finish off the remodel of the rental unit by Friday based upon the latest schedule.

We'll be there in spirit though...and we'll see yawl hopefully in late May now.
 
Ada, rickie and myself were blessed to be around you and your family these past 11+ years. We will all miss shannon and will have a spot in our hearts for her and your family for all the years to come.

I remembered first meeting shannon at the famous foresthill Sierra Scouts snow run for the first time in 1996 or 1997. We were at the big trees grove picnic area and she was so sly and very accurate with a snowball. We exchanged a few rounds in the big battle that winter morning. (your picture reminded me of this.)

I remembered the reception in lincoln when you were married. Ada and I had not annouced our engagement yet as we were barely dating for 3 months when we attened the reception. We had a blast and I think everyone made it to the rubicon trail later that night. It seems like yesterday.

Shannon had asked ada to come down and kick the boy's asses if they step out of line after she's gone. Ada is glad to comply, in a motherly way of course.

Our family is always here for you and your boys. See you Saturday.

Chad,

I am new here, but my heart is touched by what I have read. Words are difficult, but please know that my family and I have already mentioned you in prayer, and will continue to do so.

Your obvious strength and character will get you and your boys through, with god's help. God bless. You are an inspiration to all of us.

Mike you and ada are like family, and I appreciate all you have done for us through the years. Don't worry if the boys need a "womans touch" I will be sure to call.

For those of you that have not met my family, this is a picture taken about 6 months before shannon got sick.
Jeremy the oldest is now close to 6' and the other 2 are a full 6 or so inches taller as well but this has to be one of my favorite pictures and thought I would share it with you guys.
Again thanks for all the thoughts and kind words.

Jeff pointed out to me that I had not listed a time for the services tomorrow. They are from 2pm to 5ish or whenever we are done.
 
Wow Chad I had no idea, best wishes to you and the boys. I can relete although my wife is still with me, she has almost died from crohns diesese so many times I know my time with her is limited and a blessing.
