[QUOTE="yankster, post: 495332, member: 4171"] For those without Facebook: On behalf of Shannon and Kayla I can't thank everyone enough for the outpouring of love and support for us over the weekend. A big thank you goes out to Ricky Berry, Adam Woodlee, Jim Kirby, Jason Washburn, and Heather-Nate Tucker for making the procession an organized success. I'm sure others were involved, so please share this with them. It was a beautiful thing to see, although I hope we never have to do it again! When I was first approached about doing a buggy procession, my cautious, analytic mind wondered if it could be kept organized, or if was appropriate. Then I heard Shannon in the back of my mind saying "Do it! You only live once!". She really taught me how to come out of my shell and live life to the fullest. We appreciate so much the flower arrangements everyone sent to the ceremony. Shannon was all girl and loved flowers! All of the handwritten notes were great as well; we read every one of them. Some family and friends traveled 1000+ miles one-way to selflessly be there to honor Shannon the way I tried to every day. I promise that did not go unnoticed. Thank you to all who were unable to attend and sent messages or called to show your support. I know there are more that would like to offer condolences but can't find the right words, I understand and thank you.
