RkyMtnHigh 0 #251 May 30, 2006 I'm listening to some dance/trance that she and I danced to at Dublin '05. Shannon seemed like such a smartass and funny from what I could tell from her dz.com personality, however meeting her in person and getting to know her, she was such a caring, down to earth person with so much good stuff ahead of her. I miss her already and am still having a hard time believing this has really happened. 'Til we meet again, Shannon. Save a spot for me on your freefly team. Blue skies.............. Prayers of Comfort for Bob... _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sikona 0 #254 May 30, 2006 Shannon spun in my life in a variety of ways - the first being at Byron and flying in the blue skies. Then spending time with the wine in the wonderful flat of SF with Toe-up and Kirsten. Lots of wine :P and lots of great times. And then life spun her to the playa, and we felt the energy of Black Rock together. Hand in hand, arms around one another, smiles unending. Bob and Shannon came to celebrate my marriage last fall, made the journey from SF to Tahoe. I found myself thinking of her as I drove back from Yosemite this weekend. Thought I needed to call her; it'd been too long since we connected. Now I know why she was so strong in my thoughts and heart. We're all blessed to have known her in whatever worlds we did. Love you dearly, mi sweet flying sista Shannon. You'll always be with us, and I'll spin with you again, in the heart of Black Rock, and with the ancestors you will rise. Hugs and love to all, Bonnie-B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #255 May 30, 2006 Me too, I don't think I ever met Shannon, but I always enjoyed her posts and especially her naughtier threads. Just wish I'd met her. It's so important to be with the people we love and to let them know we love them - as often as we can. Because none of us ever knows. And I will never take anything she said too seriously. Laugh in the sunshine, sing, Cry in the dark, Fly through the night Sleep in the stars, Don't you cry, Dry your eyes on the wind. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

ACMESkydiver 0 #256 May 30, 2006 Quote For GFD: Remember those who fall before you And those to yet fall past Let them be a reminder too true That this life happens fast Watch over us from blue skies And guard us from black death Watch o'er us with angel's eyes And let your soul find rest. That's beautiful. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diverdriver 6 #261 May 30, 2006 Quote Quote I want do-overs on this one, dammit! I second that one. The man up stairs I think has a really sick sense of humor sometimes. "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumors, but I think God's got a sick sense of humor. And when I die I expect to find him laughing." -DM --probably due to Shanon being up there already.

ASteele 0 #263 May 30, 2006 Shannon had balls. She gave me my first kiss pass, even though I had some knarly braces at the time. I remember how we both volunteered to take a cute AFF student to the hospital after he dislocated a shoulder and how we looked at each other and went "Ooohh" when they cut his shirt off. I think I still have video of that :) Byron is not the same without her. I'm going to miss her so much and its hard to see the light in this. But the comment about the Pearly Gates and her wondering about what delay she could get..... couldn't be more accurate. Keep the beers cold and save a slot for me Shannon!! Lots of love girl.

waltappel 1 #264 May 30, 2006 Quote I only knew Shannon from DZ.com but, every once in awhile, she'd respond to something I had posted and it made me laugh. She even started a thread about my use of commas! That, really got to me. That, was really neat and made me feel good and it made me feel accepted. Just a silly little thing like that and she probably had no idea how much it meant to me. What a sweet person she was.
