Today is the day God took you from this Earth and our lives were forever changed! I hope I am making you proud. A day like today is never easy but I know you are with me in spirit! I love you
Happy New Year Ma, This the year my life is going to change. I feel it and I know it. Guide my paths this year and I’ll continue to grow your legacy. Forever and always I Love you
I never got to meet you auntie, but I've heard much about you. You have 2 nieces now and the youngest one's birthday is today. Hopefully, I'll get to meet you one day...I love you.
Every election season (honestly every day), I think of you. How you missed Barack Obama and his amazing family. We would have probably been at the Inauguration together, pink and green down. I'm sure you don't miss the mess we're in now. I hope you and all the angels are able to intercede and help us make America better. There is a movement going on now and this new generation is not going to stop until real changes happen for PoC! I hope you were there to greet papa when he entered the gates in March. I'm sure you know and have seen the effects of his loss in my life. I felt the same when you were taken away from us almost 14 years ago. Girl I miss you so much. I'll represent tomorrow when I vote early. Our soror will be the next Vice President of the United States of America. We've been strolling to the polls in our pearls, pink and green and Kamala's signature Converse. You know I had to order a pair (I actually ordered two!) I hope you forgive me, but you know, I was never able to reach out to him . . . and yes, I suffer the consequences of not watching them grow. I hate that, but I just can't bring myself to accept everything, afterward. Forgive me, but you know through the whole ride, I was there and you are the best thing that happened in his life. I know there is only one judge and I pray for GOD's grace and mercy daily. Love you. +May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of GOD, rest in eternal peace.+ Amen.
I think of you often and all that should have been for you. Not only were you named after me but you reminded me so much of myself. I always pray that the angels came to meet you that day where God is and that your light would never dim. Until we meet again Cousin I pray that your rest is peaceful in Jesus’ loving arms. You’re greatly missed and always loved. Peace always!
My closest linesister, my Friend, my SISTER....It has been 9 years Sands, it still hurts.....I Miss you Soror....Continue to Rest in Heaven... We were the wrecking crew...couldn't come through me without you!!! Love you #27 Your Sands Kelly Smith Spring 89 Beta Alpha #20
I missed your birthday Sands :( I miss you Shannon words can't describe....but trust me everyone keeps your memory alive in Beta Alpha!!! Soror Sisters 4 LIfe! Love you Kelly
I didn't know Shannon, but i can tell she was really special person and loved by many. I'd like to share a comforting thought from the bible at John 5:28-29 where Jehovah God, thru his son Jesus, promises to awaken all those asleep in death and bring them back to life on a paradise earth where they will live amongst the righteous forever and learn about Jehovah God and all of his blessings
You are dearly missed. I never told you but you were a role model in my life. I looked to you and my brother to find guidance and direction. You will never be forgotten.
On this night, February 28, I sit here and laugh thinking of the memories we shared. God only knows how much my heart hurts. People say they understand, they can imagine how I feel..but no one knows like I do. I remember the last conversation we had making plans to go to Mobile for Thanksgiving, not knowing I would be helping plan your funeral less than 24 hours later. I miss and love you!
I need you here cursing me for being so stupid, I can hear you now! I smile as I look at our pictures..and remember when IG's would be scarred to talk to us I would say don't introduce yourself to me if you don't know my LS Shannon... Big sisters who didn't play! Love you & truly miss you my friend..you share my cousins first and middle name and my last name & my dads burial date we r 1!
Shannon Janine! My girl, my Line Sister, my true friend! It has been 6 years....I miss you! We didn't talk daily like we did in college as we started our families and such...but I remember when you called about Dalton! You were beaming! I look at her and I just know you would be in the poor house buying everything pink and green they make for her! And DJ such a handsome young man...
When you left us, DJ and Dalton were 7 and 7 months....DJ just turned 14 and is the spitting image of you. Dalton is a daddy's girl, but she knows who Moma Shannon is....for the short time u were in their lives, you did a great job! I often ask God why?.....if I can only have you back for 1 day...I would be so grateful!
Today is the day God took you from this Earth and our lives were forever changed! I hope I am making you proud. A day like today is never easy but I know you are with me in spirit! I love you
Happy New Year Ma, This the year my life is going to change. I feel it and I know it. Guide my paths this year and I’ll continue to grow your legacy. Forever and always I Love you
