I worked with Shannon at Omnicare. She was such a kind co-worker, and I am sure that her gentle and loving soul will be missed from this world. You have my most sincere condolences.
So very sorry to hear of your loss.
Fred, Jean and family, my heart is with you.
I just heard the news and I’m so sad to find this out. I remember playing soccer with Shannon growing up. Then seeing her at CVS here and there in college. My thoughts and prayers to her family.
Will never forget playing hockey with Shannon. A lot of good memories. My heart goes out to her family.
