    Sending my hugs & love to the family. Shanell was a beautiful spirit who will truly be missed. I pray that babygirl finds strength and understanding as she faces this huge hurdle ahead but with a tight knit family I know she will be okay in due time. From babies to elementary on up you were always a solid soul to be around!!
