Shannel, I miss you and I love you. You always made me feel supported and loved and always had a smile. We had so many plans together – I wish we had more time. I will continue working towards them for us. Your ambition and strength inspired me always. I love you so much. Thank you for our time together. We’ll meet again in the next life.

We were reunited with Shannel last Christmas after not seeing her long ago as a sweet little girl. She was vibrant, caring and fun to be with.
Thinking of the family and loved ones and wishing you comfort and peace, knowing the light of such a beautiful spirit shines on.

I miss you so much Shannel. You will always be irreplaceable. Since the summer of grade 5 when we first met. I remember the first time I called on you, I was so nervous. When your dad answered, I asked if Shaniqwa was home. Even now saying it is so cringe, LOL We always laughed about that, and now as I laugh, I cry. Sadness remembering happiness is hard, but I'm grateful for the memories we shared. Shannel moved from Toronto and although I only moved from Galt we both felt like we were starting our lives over in Nantucket Village.
I was a nervous kid, making new friends has never come naturally to me, but Shannel ALWAYS could make friends anywhere. I never felt like I fit in anywhere on my own. When I met Shannel she brought me out of my shell. She changed me for the better, while we grew up together. As long as we went together, I felt like I could fit in anywhere.
Shannel was bold and beautiful, with a musical laugh that will echo through the hearts of all of those who knew her.
I remember talking on the phone for hours, every morning before school, planning our outfits for the week like weirdos. Walking home together, hanging out laughing the evening away, when it was time to part ways, we would just call each other again to
recap the day, and talk until we were too tired to talk anymore. Then do it all again the next day, for years.
Whether it was hanging at your place while you watched Renee, or meeting at "the French school" to vent about our woes, I remember you nagging me not to miss school, you would show up early before school to make sure I was ready on time, and of course change your clothes so your mom wouldn't question your outfit choice. LOL sorry Pam...
I remember adventuring Brampton when you brought me to your aunt Debs for a week and how much you looked up to her. We went ice skating and were in awe discovering the malls that were so much bigger than the one mall in Cambridge, which was just a straight line at the time.
I also remember when you got mad at me too, we squabbled like sisters sometimes and definitely more than once. Like when I bought my first thong in grade 8 and you questioned and scolded my choices while we walked to school! LOL
I remember when you had me call your manager at Suzy Sheirs in the mall, to quit for you, because you were to scared to do it!!!
I remember when you left your MSN signed in at my house, and my brother told Cory Brown you had a crush on him and to meet you at your locker at lunch. I remember how confused you were when Cory showed at your locker. I remember how you pretended to be mad at Michael but secretly you loved that he broke the ice for you.
As we got older when we argued, we text battled like boyfriend and girlfriends do. When we made up we'd laugh at ourselves, but admit it hurt like a breakup and talk about how irreplaceable we were to each other.
We made young dumb choices together. Looking back on life I realize that we were pretty innocent nerds. The one & only time either of us ever stole a car was together. It sounds so much worse than it was though, and it was totally my bad idea.
One might think we were bad high school teenagers, but when I think back to our rationale, and why we did it & where we went, I have to laugh.
You were my favorite human to play video games with, we loved the Coop in Mortal Combat Shaolin Monks so much. Maybe too much. SO we HAD to go get that second PS2 controller to play coop. There was an important mission to complete. So we took my mom's car to go get your controller. LOL That was the first time I ever drove, and it was only like three blocks to your house on Mortimer Street. You will always be the Kung Lao to my Liu Kang.
So many memories....
Shannel gave my daughter a painting that she made in highschool of a snowman. It's been on her wall for a few years, but now Madison protects it like a guard responsible for the Mona Lisa. The mug Shannel and Madison made together will continue to hold our toothbrushes, no matter how many times I have to mend it. I can't believe these little pieces of you around the house are all I have left, and that there doesn't get to be any more memories made.
As adults, I was proud that Shannel was proud of me, and the mother I've become. I'm so thankful for the time we spent in Church and bible study together.
Learning together and being unafraid to speak freely with each other about the things we didn't understand. Our unfiltered talks really helped me grow. I wish I knew then just how much I would cherish our journey now.
Raising our hands and singing in worship, Shannel made it so much fun. Everyone who has ever known Shannel knows she had a beautiful voice. She sang everywhere she went, making silly and soulful songs that brightened dark days.
I miss you and love you. May you rest in peace. In god's cradling arms, with your hair perfectly frizz-free, never wanting for hairspray again. You are irreplaceable! Your voice, advice, laughter, and love will always be in my heart, and the hearts of many.
You impacted so many lives, with your charisma, creativity, empathy, and overall sweet soul.
You never entered a room unnoticed, and you will never be forgotten. Until we meet again my friend. Forever in my heart <3

You were the glue that held everyone together and never had a bad thing to say about anyone. You spread positivity everywhere you went and made everyone around you happier. You’ll forever be the best big cousin anyone could ask for. I love you always ❤️

In loving memory of Shannel... Your beautiful soul touched so many hearts. Growing up, Renee and I always looked up to you as the beautiful, cool older sister, we couldn’t wait to grow up and be just like you. You lit up every room you entered and had a special way of making every moment fun and memorable, whether sharing stories or offering heartfelt advice. Shannel, your warmth and compassion radiated off you and you made everyone feel accepted and loved. Your presence brought happiness to those around you, a true inspiration to everyone who knew you. Your spirit will forever be with us, the memories created with you has left a tremendous impact on all our lives. Pam and Sean have raised two beautiful, smart, passionate & kind daughters and my thoughts and prayers are with them. Shannel, you and Renee will always have an irreplaceable bond that will carry on through this lifetime and beyond. Nothing will ever fill the void this has left in our hearts; we will remember you and cherish you through all the big moments in Renee’s life and I know you will be her guardian angel watching over her every step of the way. Rest peacefully Shannel, knowing that you are deeply loved and profoundly missed.

Shannel, I only met you a handful of times while you were living with your Aunt Debbie, Uncle Paul and cousin Brianna. You were full of positive energy, completing your studies at Seneca and you were so very talented! You encouraged an artistic flair and creativity in others as well. You were so loved by your aunt Debbie and she will cherish the memories made over the years to come. Taken too soon, rest in peace dear Shannel ❤️❤️. Michele

Q: What will you miss most about Shannel?
A: Shannel you will be missed. I will miss your smile, your positivity, and your infectious laughter. You always inspired people around you to look on the brighter side of life.
One of Shannel's passions was ATV riding. The thrill of the ride, the wind in her hair, and the freedom of the open trail were things she cherished. Shannel and I created an ATV memory together which I will cherish always.
Rest in peace, Shannel. Your spirit will continue to ride with me on the trail of life.

Shannel, nobody ever has and I doubt ever will leave an impression on me like you did from first meeting. I will never forget your signature smile and all the love that always came after it no matter who it was in front of you be it family, friend or complete stranger.
Last we met I made a promise to you, I swear to you I will keep it until the end of time.
Forever in our hearts, rest easy sis’.

My bestie ,
I dont think my heart will ever accept that you are truly gone. You reminded me what the true meaning of friendship is again.Your kind heart and your beautiful soul will never be forgotten. You were too good for this world. Beach days will never be the same without you. Wine and paint night will never be the same without you. You took a piece of my heart with you.

Shannel my beautiful niece, i still have memories of when you were the age of two, and three,
you would cry when I’m about to leave from visiting you and your parents, but most of all you always have a wonderful smile
like a bright sunflower.
my brother would sometimes update me with your accomplishments and your achievements at Sheridan Collage, and I’m so proud
that i have a few nieces, and nephews that have that amazing skills to paint, and draw so well.
it was so shocking to here of your passing when couple days before we were congratulating you with a new customer contract you were about to signe that day
not all of my side of the family uses social media, but thank god for Facebook we had the chance to relate to each other
I love you Shannel, and your sister Renee, we will meet again in the afterlife
may God bless your wonderful soul
Your uncle Newton Walker.

I just wanted to share one very Specific memory I had with shannel.
It was back in high school and I didn’t have many friends at all . My friend had passed a way and I was crying in the bathroom stall at school.
Shannel must of seen me run to the bathroom crying because shortly after she was in there just hugging me telling me all the good memories we had of him as she also knew the friend.
I just remember feeling so happy and lucky someone had noticed me so upset and all the kind things she said to me trying to calm me down. She was really a one of a kind girl and I will always remember her in that way .

Words cannot express the kind of person Shannel was. She had the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. She wore a smile so big that it was infectious to anyone who crossed paths with her. People were always drawn to her fun loving and caring personality and made friends with anyone and everyone. Shannel was extremely dedicated and hardworking with everything she touched. Shannel made me a better person In the 20 years she was part of my life. We shared two apartments in two different cities plus lived along side each other in my family home the last few years. She was truly a great person inside and out. We shared so many memories togther that I will never forget. I was blessed to call Shannel my GF, Best friend, and soulmate. I will carry her with my in my heart always, until one day we see each other again. Love you always Shannel!

I remember the times we made up songs and sang lines back and fourth laughing. I remember when we would play game boy together and get angry when we couldn’t make the jumps. I remember eating Italian rice balls with you and being too chicken to do karaoke at the bar. I remember you leaving for college and missing you so fiercely I cried for days. I remember trying sushi with you for the first time and not being able to move off the chair. I remember you doing my hair for prom and driving me to my school dance. I remember you straightening my hair even though it took six hours. I remember calling you to tell you every embarrassing thing I’ve done and you laughing and yelling “what?!” Every single time. I remember you being sad when I shut people out. I remember you being happy when I was happy and sad when I was sad. I’m doing my best to be happy for you now. I’ll continue to remember and post them when I feel like I can. Love always you’re little sister Renee
