    Words can’t describe the impact you had on my life. Teaching me to broaden my perspective of the world was an important lesson. One I’ll carry into the next life. And I’ll look for you there too.
    I love you

    Dear Shan
    I miss you more than I ever thought I would. The encouraging words you gave me to be strong meant a lot. I know that with the help of my God and Church Family and my kids and grands that I will be strong and okay just like you said I would.
    I cherish the prayers we shared during your last 28 days. They mean a lot to me and I’m so thankful for them .
    Thank you for sharing the good times with me for the last 6 years.
    You taught me a lot!
