Don I am so very very sad to hear this :( I tried to contact her recently.. I was worried and concerned. If I could hug you I would. Shawn was a dear sweet person. The joy she shared with not only myself but others will live on. She was my friend although I had never met her in person. I will miss her so very very much. May she rest now her pain has gone. Helen

My sincerest condolences to you and your family. :o( -Emily Thrasher

She was so very proud of her site. She poured her heart into it.

You are in my prayers, and my thoughts. My heart is so sad right now. I too have lost a child, and no words can express the pain of such an unnatural tradgedy. I grieve with you.

Thanks Helen for posting the info on Shawn's website, and thank you Jaybutton for posting Shawn's beautiful picture. David

My deepest condolences go to you and your family. This is a very sad thing to hear. May God bless you in your time of grief.

I am so sorry to hear this. She is with the angels now. I really liked her. She was a wonderful person and I enjoyed the correspondences with her in the past. I was just thinking about her last week and wish I had written her. This is so sad. BJ

This is so very sad, Don. My condolences to you and your family. Beth

Visualkinetic's thoughts complete mirror my own - What a truly wonderful thing for Shawn to do? To want to thank the members of this community for their friendship. I am so deeply touched by that. God bless you Shawn, you made all of our lives all the more richer and happier, and we will never forget you. David

Don, I'm so very sorry for your loss. You and your family, as well as Shawn, are in our thoughts and prayers. Shawn was a friend of mine for over a year, and she was a joy to know. She helped me immensely - was one of my best testers, always concsientious and honest and so very sweet and talented. She will leave a hole in my heart too, and the community. Deepest sympathies, Noel, Shelley and Family

So sorry to hear your news, Don. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am very sorry for your great loss. My most sincere condolences to you and your family.

She has entered immortality... and her grace remains behind. My family has been assailed by cancer as well, and i know what it feels like to watch someone who shares your blood, who is closer than any outsider can know, fade and die from her own body devouring it from within. You have my condolences and thoughts, and she has my prayers.

oh i cant say anything to ease your pain i cant say i know what you are going through because i dont, my heart goes out to you and yours i will keep you in my prayers may god keep you ((((((hugs)))))

My sincere condolences to you & your family Don.

My sincere condolences to you & your family Don.

My condolences to you and your whole family. I will keep you all in my prayers.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.

As a Mom, I send you and your family my heartfelt sorrow at your loss.No other words can express what I feel right now for you and yours. Take care of eachother.I did'nt know Shawn and wish I had..... my condolences.

My condolences to you and your family, theres so much to say but very few words that can express what is felt. VID

I am so very sad this evening...for a lot of reasons. I used to know Shawn quite well, and she used to test my ladies for me. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known, and I feel shame that I lost track of her oh so long ago. My heart goes out to you, her father, and her children, and all those who loved her so much. It just teaches me another life lesson...don't let go of your friends or lose track of them, because you never know when the time will come when you can't make up for all that lost time. But I do know that she is now being carried on Eagle's wings...and will suffer no more...God Bless You, Sweet Shawn...

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. May you find healing and love in the world and in those around you.

May god be with you and your family. I'm so sorry to hear that this has happened.

Don, I'm really sorry hear about your loss. Shawn is with the angels now - that's for shure. You know, I'm not really a religious person, but I believe in angels and a higher force. Some called fate or destiny. And I'm shure of the fact that your beloved daughter is in a better place now. Everytime I hear about things happening like this I think to myself: "Live every day of your life like it would be your last one on mother earth. Do all the things you want to do. Never say something like 'I'll do this or that someday.'" Since the day I met my wife live's been really special for me. It's much more intense these days. I enjoy things I never thought of before like having a good glass of wine or having a walk in the woods. And I don't make such concerns about the daily worries like I did a few years ago. In Germany we have a saying... "Life's too short to distress yourself." And as I watched Shawn's gallery I imagined a person who had an eye on the beautiful things in life. Though I never met her in person I know she must have been a wonderful person. Don, I don't know if these lines comfort you a little bit. I just wanted to let you know that you and Shawn are in my thoughts. My deepest sympathies to you and your family, Phil

My condolensces to you and your family for your great loss. While I've never really knew of your daughter on Rosity, it pains me to see any family go through such a loss. But as a writer once said, "Death is but a turn of the page in the chapters of our existence." and even though she's turned that page, she lives on in those she touched...

Don - my deepest condolences to you and yours. Shawn will forver be in our hearts...for she lives on here.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

My prayers go to you and your family.

Condolences to you and your family, Don

Don, I am deeply saddened by your loss. My condolences.

Sorry for being so late ... My deepest condolences to you Don and your family - I don't know how it feels to loose your own child but I lost my mother, my grandmother and this and that friend that way and this was terrible enough. Maybe she is in a healthy and better world by now - I don't know if god exists - but if so your daughter has earned and found a better place then this world we are living in.

Although Shawn was not as active at the 3DCommune,she was a member. Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends from the 3DCommune staff. Tom 3DCommune Site Administrator

Add my voice to those above, Don. My most sincere condolences to you and the rest of her family and friends. I have two adult children as well, and I can't imagine how tough it must be to be going through this. Take care, be strong and hang on to every precious memory. May God bless you. - Gwydion

I always hate to hear these things. I didn't know your daughter, but I'm so sad to hear this news. One of my sisters had breast cancer about four years ago, and we're blessed to still have her here with us. I've known several people who have suffered this and I know what a fight they have dealt with. My best wishes and prayers for you and your family. Melanie

All our condolences.I am so sorry..

I hope she rests in peace. Condolences to you and your family.

she is in Peace now. One Love
