Pater noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Becca,Joe & family I am so sorry to hear about your little Shannon I know she is your little girl little bundle of joy brought into the world to brighten your lives and forever touched you all. Becca as I had the pleasure of watching you grow through your childhood. I had the honor of knowing Shannon as she grew inside you and watching you bring in pics and see your smiling face. May Shannon's ever so brief stay here on Earth let that be the light remember her beautiful smile and her little giggles and facial expressions as they have so many. I know I can't say anything that is going to heal the pain that you all must be feeling right now. But let her memories lift you up. Know that you have a ton of people praying for you all. My heart is heavy with grief with yours but I see that picture that you have posted here and you can't do anything but smile and cry both at the same time. Such a happy baby remember that. Remember the miracle that God gave you even for the short stay memories were made. Lots of them. There just doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. My many thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
