This was really hard to read this morning. I met Shannon at C3, and I always thought she was a great person...always very cheerful and friendly from the start. She also had a really, really funny t-shirt on, which is what I remember the most even now. I guess little things like that pop into your head when this sort of thing happens. This really is hard to deal with, but I take comfort in knowing that she is not in pain anymore, and that this wasn't a sudden thing. Hopefully she was able to put everything in order and say goodbye to everyone. She will certainly be missed.
May the Force be with you all.
