I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Shannon. I never knew him personally, however, my parents are from Belle Cote and I’ve heard many great things about Shannon. He seemed to love his children with every bit of his being. I offer my deepest sympathy to all of Shannon’s family and please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.
