Shalane's Birthday-Nov 17th, 2008

A bittersweet birthday--In loving memory of our sweet angel Shalane--She was born in 1988, 20 years ago today-It's hard to believe...

She said so much, without every speaking a word. She was a teacher of faith, hope, patience, appreciation of the big & little things in life, and most of all, Unconditional Love. We loved her unconditionally and we believe she loved us in the same way. We know that taking care of Shalane for a little over 18 years was our greatest trial and also one of our greatest blessings. We miss her dearly and treasure our memories of her as our daughter. We know that she was a truly special, strong and valiant spirit that was sent to earth in a fragile body, to teach us to be faithful, valiant and true to our covenants. Thanks to all those who supported us, helped take care of her and made her life the best it could be. We truly love and appreciate all of our family and friends. We are so thankful for our knowledge of the gospel and our faith that Families can be Together Forever.
