Our deepest and sincere sympathy to the Baarschers and Core families for your loss. Shannon was a childhood neighbour (and my first babysitting job). I will always remember her beautiful smile and very friendly way. Thinking of you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I always loved her smiling face. Her huge smile came alive when she auditioned her tap dancing skills to Chris and myself. She will be Greatly Missed. I picture her in the arms of Jesus...no pain! Loved her dearly!

tea party

My condolences to Bill and your family. I met Shannon when we were in high school and we worked together at Lighting Unlimited. Our paths have crossed frequently over the years and each meeting was a celebration. My most memorable one was when I went to her house by accident. I was supposed to be visiting a neighbour and went to her house by accident. We sat and had tea and caught up like we had only seen each other the day before. Shannon will be missed. My thoughts and prayers to you all.
