I never had the pleasure of meeting you but I am blessed to know your sister Annie and through her I felt like I knew you as well. Strong, compassionate, intelligent and special to so many people. May you rest in peace. God has a beautiful and peaceful home just for you. I promise to be there for Annie.
Words are not enough to express our sadness. You were are daughter, and Avery Patrick our grandson. We loved you from the moment you asked us to be your God parents at such a young age. Our many holidays together, and visits during the summer, left us with many memories, but it was not enough time to spend with you. We promise to continue to love Avery Patrick and provide for him in any way we can.
None of us were ready for you to leave, but God must have needed you more. ❤❤ To all that loved her: May the Lord bless you and comfort you with your loss.
I hate that we didn’t keep in touch. I love you a million. We went to Europe together right out of high school. Rest in peace Sis❤️
My heartfelt condolences go out Georgia and Dwayne. The love you shared with Shana and Avery Patrick is evident in your palpable sense of loss. May the promise of the resurrection bring you some comfort and peace. Praying for you and all who loved Shana.
I will miss you forever❤ Keep watch over Avery Patrick so he can feel your loving
presence.
Rest in Peace Shania.
