I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I did not know Shannon very closely, I do remember him well from his summer visits to Gaultois. I especially remember his big smile...he was always smiling!

There's a Shakespearean quote that comes to mind:

"And when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun "...

Rest in Peace Shannon.

Deanna and Donovan Penney

To, Uncle Charles, Aunt Virtue, Germaine, Colleen and extended family. It is with great sadness that we cannot be there with you today. From what we've heard, Shannon has been a great inspiration and witness for Jesus through his journey. We only hope that each and everyone one of us, can take from this, a life lesson of how to properly shine our lights, the way Shannon would want us all to. Im sure his desire is to meet everyone one of us again someday in heaven. We are sorry we didn't have a chance to spend more time together with you, but I guess thats how things work in this crazy world. Sadly our busy lives prevent us from spending precious moments with family, but I guess no matter what we have an eternity to be together.

This is a few lines from a song that really helps get me through tough times like these, I hope its as encouraging for you as it is me.
You know i bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off your shoulders now and i dream of the day that im finally there with you... I have asked the questions why, but i guess the answers for another time, so instead ill pray with every tear and be thankful for the time i held you near, and until we meet again, Save a place for me. -Matthew West.
Hoping we can spend some time with all of you in the near future!
Love and Prayers,
Deanna and Donovan

Aunt Dianne & Uncle Hughie

Charlie& Virtue, Germaine & Peter, Colleen, Doreen & Bob and family.
Sorry we are unable to be with you today as you say See you later, to Shannon. You of all people will be affected the most by this great loss. He will be missed in all your family gatherings, holidays, and the place at the table. No one will ever fill his shoes, and not just because they are really bigs one in size, but because there was only One Shannon. The only Son, Son in law, husband, and brother... uncle.... one who loved you all so dearly. Even Colleens nan, he loved you so much.Today will be a tough one but try and keep in mind this is part of the bigger picture.. he is gone a step ahead of us, promising that he will be waiting at the gate as he said.. for us all to meet him there... So may the Lord wrap you in His arms today and hug you a little closer.. and Colleen when you get back home , give Basil a special hug from Aunt Dianne... we love you all and will be praying for you today. love and prayers Dianne & Hughie, Antigonish, NS

Aunt Hazel

Dear Colleen;

God is our refuge and strength.
A very present help in trouble.
My love and prayers are with you
and have been with you for the past days, weeks and yes, even months! Even though our prayers were not answered in the way that we wanted them answered, we know that God knows best and He has healed Shannon in a way that is far more important than his physical healing here on earth. Shannon has been given a new life in Christ and is now without pain and resting safely in the arms of Jesus. I'm proud of you Colleen, you have done well and have certainly had your faith put to the test. Keep your eyes on Jesus because He's the only One Who can get you through these difficult days. Lean on Him and allow the God of all comfort to fill you with His peace and to comfort you in a way that only He can do. I love you and wish I could be there in person but I will be with you in thought and prayer as you go through this time of sorrow. May God bless!
Love,
Aunt Hazel

Earl & Christina Simms & Family

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I will never forget the time I spent with Shannon and his family just a few weeks ago in Grande Prairie. He was such an inspiration to me. To set by the bed and play along on the guitar as you sang along with us was such a wonderful thing. Although you could not see physically, your vision of Jesus could not go unnoticed. You were so at peace in your situation and your only concern was for everyone else. We laughed and cried as you shared stories and gave us your requests and your Dad and I would have to go looking for Purity Lemon Cream crackers and Pirate cookies. Shannon you will never know the impact you had on my life in the time we spent together. I have no doubt that one day we will sing together again and I'm sure your Heavenly Father will now be looking after your requests. God Bless you Charlie, Virtue and Germaine, and the rest of our vast family and hold fast to the God and Father of us all as Shannon did in his life.

Dear Colleen:

Shannon was a cousin that we weren't blessed to have met when he became a part of our family. However, through the stories we've heard and read we certainly have a flavour of the wonderful man God created and shared with his family for just a brief moment.
