My best friend from childhood, Shawna, passed away last Wednesday. It has been a shock to me and my family. Shawna and I grew up together (since the 1st grade). If I wasn't at her house, than she was at mine. We went through elementary, junior high, and some of high school together before I moved to AF. But, we have remained close ever since. We had just been trying to make plans for our families to get together before this happened, and now I wish we would have!Some of my favorite memories of Shawna are watching movies and eating chips and salsa and ice cream with strawberry jam (I know, weird...). We did this on a weekly basis. I was her maid of honor at her wedding 11 years ago.
I will miss her dearly and am very thankful for the time I had with her.

This came as quite a shock to all of us. Shawna was a wonderful girl and a great friend to you. When you were going through all the trials, she was the only friend who stuck by you. Both she and Mike were great. We are all going to miss her. Make sure you keep in touch with Mike. He will need that connection.
