I was just beginning to know Shanna pretty well, and it did not take me long to learn that she had a great big heart of gold and to know that she loved and trusted the Lord. I am sure she is happy and at peace in heaven today. Please know that her family is in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.
The Lord has gained another angel. Thoughts and prayers in this tough time
Deepest and heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

Ive only met her once, but heard so many good things about her. I know her family will miss her. Blessings to her family during this time.
Bobby, I’m sorry for your loss. May God comfort you in your time of grief.
Oh my goodness. I am so sad to hear this. She comes into my store a lot and we laugh that both of us are red heades leos. Sweet person that always brightened my day and she will be missed.
You are loved and will be missed.

This is awful news. She was a smart, beautiful, and fun woman. She was also a good friend. We had our laughs, cries, crazy hair colors, and hugs. I will miss you very much.
Shanna you will be greatly missed. I’m I can’t even believe it. You was always so bright and always had a smile on your face! I love ya girl r.I.p.
The sudden loss of Shanna from our family is still hard to believe. She had her own kind of sparkle…and losing that light from the lives of her family and friends leaves such a void. But we must all remember that she has only moved to a better place…behind a thin veil that we can not see through from here. However, the time will come when we can all be together once again and be with her in the presence of God. Until then we all have our own special memories of time spent with lovely Shanna…and those we will treasure in our hearts forever. Our deepest sympathy to ‘all’ whose lives she touched….especially her Daddy, Mother, Sister, Brother and their families…and her husband, Ronnie.
My sincere condolences to you and your loved ones during
this difficult time. Unfortunately, nothing can fully prepare us for the loss
of a parent, a spouse, a sibling, or a child. A tragedy may strike unexpectedly or unfold
relentlessly. Whatever the case, the pain of death cannot be eluded, and its
finality can be devastating. The Bible shares a wonderful resurrection hope for the near future. I pray that you find comfort in God’s Word stated at Acts
24:15.
My one and only soul sister…. I love you and miss you more then anything… I will never ever find another friend like you in this world… The only comfort I have is knowing I will see you again one day!!! Til then my sweet friend… Til then…
