Sad News from Treefrog Treasures (1 Viewer)

I just saw this......thoughts and prayers are with the family and look forward to stopping by the room and signing the book. Shannon is the best!
 
I was reading an article today in the New Yorker that a poet who has recently passed away (C.K. Williams) had written about a friend, fellow poet Galway Kinnell, on his passing in October 2014. Some of what C.K. Williams wrote symbolizes what many of us feel about Shannon:

"About the death of any one friend one feels sadness; with some, though, that sadness is tempered by gratitude, by a feeling of privilege to have been able to live in the world at the same time as the one who's gone."

Williams went on to write: "I knew Galway Kinnell for almost half a century, we were friends for a good part of the time, and that feeling of being fortunate to know him, to be able to be with him, never diminished."
 
Very sad news, Shannon and her family are in my prayers.
 
I'm so very sorry to hear this news. I will keep Shannon and you, Peter as well as the rest of your family in my prayers.
 
Share as many smiles together as you can. Peace be with you.
 
I will pray for both of you.She is a great lady. Life seems so unfair at times .Mike B.
 
As a cancer survivor myself,I can understand what you and your family are going through.I will add my prayers to those of the many who are praying for you all,and my thanks to you(and Peter) for providing this forum out of which I have gained so much pleasure and knowledge.GOD bless you.
 
This is truly sad. I’ve known for some time of Shannon’s illness. Yes it’s not fair.

She was particularly understanding and encouraging to my wife 3 years ago when she had cancer.

We’ll be praying for her.

I've been out of the loop for a while, but immediately noticed this today, and what terrible news this is. Shannon was very instrumental in helping me with forum log in problems I first experienced. She was patient, kind and very helpful to this novice, and the very model of what customer service is about. My heart goes out to you Peter and family, and I will keep Shannon in my prayers.

Sincerely,

Joe Roy

Shannon is hanging in there. Thanks to hospice she is comfortable. That counts for a lot.

Peter...

the Hospice crew that helped us til the end was great...

as my father was a shell of the man he once was in his last days...

they treated him with the utmost respect til his demise...

very dignified...

never embarrassing him about things he couldn't control anymore...lack of memory...cognizant awareness...diminishing health...etc...

they were fantastic...

I hope Shannon has a good a crew as I got...
 
Pete, Shannon,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
I've dealt with Shannon for years and she is truly a treasure.
God bless.

All of us can only convey, our sadness about this news. But it is deeper than that Pete, You and Shannon has given us an outlet for our hobby, the happiness of having a central place where we can express the feelings that this hobby has brought. And you have our gratitude. You and Shannon, are the Forums extended family, we share your sadness. And you have our prayers and the tears that comes with this news....
 
I have been thinking about this since I heard of Shannon's situation. I have never been a superstitious man, but for most of my adult years, I refuse to jinx anyone by saying goodbye prematurely. I will say hello, Shannon as you greet each day with your family ,being blessed with your presence right now. Looking forward to saying hello to you tomorrow...Michael
 
Our prayers and very best wishes to Shannon and the family during this difficult time.
