    Shannon was a very loving and giving wonderful niece. She was welcomed into our family with loving arms. She was always smiling and she always saw the best in everyone. She was such a joy to be around, I love her and miss her so much. She will forever be in my heart never forgotten.
    She was a wonderful wife and mother and my heart breaks for all her family.

    Hi Marilyn:

    Thank you for sharing this site so I could view and enjoy it. The “Celebration of Life” was just beautiful. Though I never knew Shannon, it felt like I did through this beautiful video. The songs that were played by you were just totally fitting and amazing. I just can’t find the words to say how this memorial touched my heart.

    May God Bless you and be with your during this journey of your daughter. May God give you the Grace and peace beyone any understanding.

    My love is with the Petersons, Borgers and all of Shannon’s loved ones, family and friends ~ ALL so dearly loved ones.
    Shannon was, is and always will be a treasured blessing of eternal and infinite love.
    In my journey of processing this step in Shannon’s eternal life, in my search to summarize so many feelings, thoughts, memories, gifts and blessings …. I keep arriving at 2 words Love and Joy.
    Love & Joy
    Love – the multiplication factor of love – to, from, for and in every direction, expanding, loving more people and being loved more – is that love experience.

    Is it only me that feels this –
    If Shannon loves you – well – I love you too ..
    and – if you love Shannon – well – I love you too ..
    Shannon shared how special each person was and how much she loved them. She made me love people that I didn’t even know but made me know them and love them – just by her love.
    Strangers become treasures because she filled that space between with love ~ because – you all are treasures to her. She loves you!
    Love ~ infinitely expanding love.

    Joy is Shannon’s middle name and such a great definition of her and what lived in the space of a relationship with Shannon.
    I can easily say that Shannon is a gift, a treasure, a blessing and definitely joy, but there is more.
    I found this ~ The biblical definition of joy says that joy is a feeling of good pleasure and happiness that is dependent on who Jesus is rather than on who we are or what is happening around us. Joy comes from the Holy Spirit, abiding in God’s presence and from hope in His word.
    ~ That summarizes, so well ~ the core, the foundation and the intricate details of life ~ with the providential purpose ~ the divine gift ~ of a friendship ~ a ‘life’ship ~ with Shannon.

    I just can’t say all that I want to share in a summary, so I will end with this –
    I am incredibly blessed with eternal loved ones and friends, with Shannon at the center of those blessings on our human side, with God at the center of it all.
    ~ Thank you Lord for the gift of Shannon in my life and everything you multiplied from that seed of your joy that you planted, nurtured and grew.

    When Shannon was younger, she would come over to our house with “the girls”. We were always so happy to see her. She had an easy laugh & was always a joy to be around. She kept those wonderful traits as she grew up. 💜

    Shannon was at my house so much through high school, she was definitely a little sister to me. This is heart breaking, she was a beautiful person inside and out and I have many fun memories with her and all the “girls”.
    Love to the family and all who loved her. She will be missed, love you and RIP Little Sis! xoxox

    Oh my sweet Shannon. I will always cherish our friendship. Having you come in for your nail appointments was the highlight of my week! Spending time with you outside the Salon was even more precious. I will miss your love for life and your beautiful face! Rest in Paradise my friend. 💜

    Shannon is a vibrant living memory in our lives as an incredibly good and Godly friend for our daughter Kristy as her high school classmate. “Shannon P” (as she was nicknamed to distinguish from the “other Shannons”) was the bright luster in the priceless gaggle of young women which Kristy treasured. That valued friendship is also greatly treasured by us as parents at an important time of life. Thank you Shannon!

    My heart is broken, Shannon was a beautiful soul who I loved very much. She leaves a big hole here on earth, but her love still shines brightly through her family and friends.

    Shannon was my first regular babysitting job. She was 3 years old and Ryan was 7 months old. I had so much fun reading to her, doing crafts, playing and watching TV. As she grew up, I loved her love for her friends and just her warmth with people she met. She was so very kind and loving with a great sense of humor. She was so dearly loved and will be so greatly missed by all. May God continue to hold her family and friends up with his strength and love. Sending our love to each one of you, Donna and David Beaver

    Shannon excepted Katelyn as her own. Giving her the mother she needed and loved. This kindness and love, let me know what a kind loving person Shannon was, and I loved her for being that person.
    There is a deep hurt in my heart for the families loss.

    “shiny” beautiful, great smile, perfect hair, a personality with a little bit of every quality you could ever need in one person. I don’t remember not knowing Shannon. I can’t help but think of her hanging out with Papa and Aunt Kathy, praising God. I love you Shiny and I will miss you… until we meet again.💜💜💜

I will always remember you for your kind and gentle ways, your ease to laughter, your Shannanigans, your love of purple and that big ‘ol truck you drove years ago. May God bless you and hold you in the palms of his hands. Rest easy sweet girl.

    We have known Shannon since she was just two years old & played with our granddaughter, AMY. She was such a beautiful little girl..so loving & kind. She called me “Mema” right along with my grandc.hildren. I will love and miss Shannon until we meet again. I certainly did not expect this to be a part of our relationship. I will always love you! “Shiny” as one of my own. Mema Holiday

    Shannon was definitely one of those special people I hated to move away from. She was a beautiful caring person who would go out of her way to help anyone. I will always cherish the memories we shared together and for sure she left us all too soon.

    Shannon Joy, aka Shanny Poo – I love you, friend. Even as time passed and our lives evolved, when we saw each other, it’s like nothing changed. You lived and lead your life with your whole heart and touched so many people. It’s amazing to see the outpouring of support while you were in the hospital. I pray your family and sweet Collin especially, experiences the peace of knowing we will see you again. I will miss you here on earth, but know it’s not the end.

    The first time I met Shannon I knew she had a heart ❤️ of gold. When she visited her Mom and Dad she was always helping! Shannon loved Christmas and drove from California to Las Vegas to help her Mother decorate the house for Christmas. Loosing a son or daughter is such a great loss but it’s not goodbye Shannon, it’s see you later!

    Dearest Shannon, you have been on my heart with constant prayer and that praying continues for your sweet family and friends. I remember meeting you when we were just kids going to Green Oaks Ranch camp and then getting to know you more when we were at Saugus High. Gosh, I think we even carpooled together… jamming each morning to Violent Femmes on the way to school. I’m so thankful for social media to keep us in touch through the years. ♥️ Sending so much love and comfort to your family.

    No words can express how sad I was to learn of this loss. I never met Shannon but knew of her through Katelyn and my great nephew John. I prayed for healing but believe God had other plans for Shannon. Love and hugs for her family and friends.

    So many memories of sweet Shannon! And I say sweet because that’s how I remember her. She was so gentle and kind and truly cared about those around her. I hadn’t seen Shannon for a number of years, I think the last time was at her shower at my daughter Kelly’s house, but I felt close to Shannon, partly because of the love my daughter Kelly had for her and the way she spoke of Shannon. She was special! My love and prayers to all of her family and friends.

    To all of you who Shannon loved most, my sincerest love and condolence to each of you. Her life completed too soon from our perspective but Gods glory thru this trial speaks “well done good and faithful servant”. May the Lord’s good and sure promise of life eternal be a comfort and an anchor of hope while you wait that happy reunion on day!

    Shannon, my sweet friend whom I have not seen in quite several years. I was so happy to know that you found love again and were able to start a family. Your family is special and dear to us and Tony and Cecilia. We know that here on earth is not our forever home, and you just went ahead of us to get it ready. I pray that your husband will find peace and comfort in Jesus. I pray for a peace that passes all understanding as he learns to live without you by his side. I pray for your sweet parents and brother, who I know will continue to share who you are with the world. We send our love, hugs, and prayers to the Peterson family.

    I remember Shannon from when she was a little girl. Such a beautiful, happy girl! I have memories of seeing her with her many friends as they laughed and played. The loss of her cuts deep! Yet, all of Heaven is rejoicing at her homecoming. Heaven is now brighter than ever.

    Shann, In the surrealist moments I cry as my heart is struggling with what my mind already knows. In my strong moments, I am celebrating that you are in PARADISE, completely healed, a family reunion, and have become an Angel for your family here. Watching over them, hugging them in their times of sorrow, protecting them. I love you Sis, today is exactly 1 year since I last saw your beautiful face! What a gift that was for me, that I will cherish forever. ✝️🙏🏼💜🕊

    It’s very difficult to even think about signing this, I first met Shannon at church in 1979, she was two, such a beautiful little girl and always very happy and giggly. She quickly became friends with my niece Amy, or Amers as she called her. She grew up Into a beautiful woman. She was one of my daughter Noëlles first babysitters, Noëlle named her Shiny, we loved Shannon like family, I thought of her as a niece❤️Love and miss you Shiny Can’t wait to hug you again❤️
