Friends,
today shannon lost her battle with cancer. She fought long and hard and I am proud to have loved her and feel blessed that she loved me back. Today is both a blessing and a heartbreaking one. A blessing in that she no longer must suffer but obviously heartbreaking for those that she left behind. She leaves 3 wonderful boys, jeremy age 14, barry age 12, and ethan age 9 behind. Shannon taught me so many things and brought such love to my life that I will always be a better man for having loved her. I am honored to have shared her life and remain so in the fact that she trusted me with the lives of her boys. My promise to her memory is to do my best by those young men and turn them into the men that I know she would want them to be. She was extremely brave to the end and in the final moments was surrounded by people who loved her very much. She passed peacefully and in her final hours was without pain.
I would like to take this moment to thank those that have helped through these last 2 years. Family and friends are the one bright spot through this whole ordeal. Thanks so much for your thoughts and kindness' I feel blessed to know so many caring and loving people!
Jeff and norma. A special thank you to both of you for your tireless support and love. Without it from you and the rest of the family I would be lost.
This is how I choose to remember shannon. Gone too soon. Rest well baby.

I have had a couple of emails asking where to send flowers and/or donations. Chad asked that any donations be sent in shannon's name to the cancer research society.
