We left school in Richmond aiming at Santa Fe but landed in Taos with fortune. Shannon was Fire! From a glamorous shimmer to a blaze that filled a glass, took the room and danced with the night. Such a brilliant heart to beat with.  Love You!

Flame on Shay Shay! Bon Voyage

Your heart, soul, love, and compassion set you so far apart from anyone else in this world. I’m so torn that you gone. The memories I shared with you will follow me for the rest of my life : the shrimp salads, the Shannon margs, the backyard sunshine, the laughs, the decorating, and the absolute love I felt every time I walked into your house. I could go on for a lifetime describing how much I love you and cherish you as human, but I will never be able to put in words what a great genuine person you are! Shan Shan I can hear you laugh from every picture I have and when you got excited about everything you were compassionate about. I know you are running on the beach with the love of your life and soaking up every sunset in heaven! My friend I love you and have always missed you. Be at peace my amazing, sweet, funny as shit friend and never stop laughing!!

Love,

Nicole 

Shannon was one of the most giving, caring, loving persons anyone could have ever have had the honor to meet & say they were friends. 

Sorry I did not get the chance to squeeze you one last time but will hold you close to my heart until we meet again ❤️

This picture was taken the night before Shannon’s hair caught on fire in Chicago. 😂 Story goes… after  a long day of selling and schmoozing at a pre Christmas gift  show we went out for dinner. Shannon leaned back in the booth and happy to be off our feet. Little tea candles were lit on this back ledge of the booth and her hair went up in flames. From across the table Joanne said “your hair is on fire!” She dove into my lap and we whacked at  her head to quickly put out the fire  

We laughed about that all the time. And so many other fun crazy things we did. 

I miss you Shannon ☀️
