| Comments: | What a wonderful thing to start. A dreambook. I would have never thought of something like this. I had so many dreams before my father died that it would have been nice to keep them in a dreambook like you created.
Rhonda, Please remember what a special person you are. I admire your strength and your determination. You have done a wonderful job keeping Shannon alive in all of our thoughts and hearts. I hope others can find their way here to see what an amazing woman you are. I hope that the people around you realize just how lucky they are to have someone as special as you in their lives. May God Bless you and I know Shannon walks along side of you every step of the way. With Love, Muffie |

| Comments: | Rhonda, my heart aches for you. As you and I know, Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal, but also know that Love leaves a memory that no one can steal. You don’t get over it, you just get through it. It doesn’t “get better”, it just gets different, every day our grief puts on a different face. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort. Luv Barb |

| Comments: | Dear Rhonda,
Thank you for sharing your lost with the world. Through your pain you have reached out to others that might be in the dark tunnel. As I read your words I could feel your pain, I felt how bad your heart is aching. However I want to let you know and anyone that has lost a friend or loved one to suicide, that in no way are you responsible for their death. As someone that has lost 3 very good friends in my life from depression/drugs/alcohol in which they took their lives and someone that had been trained to see the signs. I missed the signs in 2 of them and one no matter what I did I could not help her. I from your writing I can see that you are very depressed and I am concerned. I hope you are reaching out to professional and getting some help. Please Rhonda reach out and get some help for yourself. I am here to talk to you any time you need to talk… Bryce |

| Comments: | I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I remember writing to you some time back. I'm the one that got your turtle that time. I believe it was from yall. I wrote to you about it, but we lost touch somehow. I suffer from depression myself. I have lived with it for many years. It is a very hard thing to deal with. Sometimes the medicines can make you feel more depressed and agitated and if you come off of them cold turkey they can put you in a tailspin. Well, my heart just goes out to you. I couldn't even imagine what you're going through. I pray that the Lord will keep you strong. If you ever want to talk, don't hesitate to e-mail me. |

| Comments: | Dod Bless You All, and thank you all for the beautiful heartfelt comments that you have left here. Every single one of them makes me cry, just knowing that (mostly) perfect strangers care so much about me and my family, and what we are all going through.
It has been 5 months and 1 week since she died, and it isn't any easier yet. My heart breaks every day with longing for her. Her 22nd birthday will be in a few days on April 26th. Her baby's 5th birthday will be in May. If you all can, please send up a prayer for me and my family to make it through it all without her. We miss her so much..... Love to you all, Rhonda |

| Comments: | This is a beautiful website, and thanks for sharing. i attempted suicide a week ago, i didn't succeed, God was not ready for me yet, although i tried hard. i have 2 wonderful sons that are married, and I thought they could live without me, your page is a blessing to me, and makes me understand the pain those left behind have to deal with.
May God bless you. |

| Comments: | You did a beautiful and touching job on the website, Rhonda. I cant even begin to imagine how hard it must have been for you. It's a lovely tribute to Shannon but it's also very educational ... the sentence about suicide being a permanent solution to a temporary problem is something that people will remember. I'm still praying for you every day. |

| Comments: | Hi Rhonda!
I see you been hard at work getting the word out about your daughter and what happened, I think it is amazing! You will probably never know how many lives you save from her story even though you lost your daughter. I know that may not be what you want to hear but everything happens for a reason even when we dont understand why. Your son is strong and he will overcome! He is amazing and beautiful! He will prevail over all! You are the best thing has happened in his life. Because of you he will make it! You hold strong to each other and you will be ok. God is with you! She is gone because of an abusive man, does he care, I am sure he doesnt but you do you care and that matters, you cared and she knew it she also knew that he didnt. She must have felt she was in too deep, but you are right, had she waited a little longer she would have seen that things would be ok. You can not change the past but you can change and set your future and your grandsons. Do it all to honor her, she is watching and she is proud! I am praying for you! Keep in touch! |
