My half sister Shauna and me 2004

My dear friend and half sister, Shauna (on my dad’s side). a former high school cheerleader and teacher, lost her mom Wednesday night, June 25. I met her mom once in California and kept track of Shauna’s health reports of her throughout the years. She was a very giving sweet lady and nearing 90 when she passed. She will be missed.
