Hi Shannon,

My Name is Muggs, and I graduated from Petaluma High Class of `1994 with Chris.

We are having our 15 Year Reunion this summer 2009, and wanted to know if your family would be interested in loaning a picture of Chris for our memory table that will be at the reunion and to have a little write up (like the brilliant one above that you wrote) to be posted in our memory book…

Thank you so much!!
Warmly,
Muggs Bees Ballard
PHS Class of ’94 Reunion Event Coordinator

Hi Shannon. This is Allison (Balswick) Doyle from Penngrove. My mom (Linda) emailed me after reading the unexpected news about Chris in the PD. You may remember my little sis, Bethany, as well. We all used to play together as kids. I remember we used to sneak into Chris’ room to play with his toys and get in trouble for it, lol. I remember him fondly and even had a bit of a crush on him in highschool. :) I’m so sorry to hear he is gone. God bless you guys.

Love, Allison

Shannon, I just came to say hello and to see if you’d come back from Vietnam – and read your terrible news. I have tons of cliches I can use but I’m sure you’ve heard them all in the last few days.
So…
Hugs from us here in Israel!

not sure if this is totally morbid and insensitive, but that first line is exactly why you need to take your writing seriously. You are brilliant. When you get your brain on paper you are stunning.

Shannon,
My name is Tim Ingram, and I grew up with your brother in Penngrove. Your father was my forth grade teacher. I’m sure you don’t remember me, but I wanted to give you and your family my deepest sympathies for your loss. I was shocked to hear the news that he had passed. Although I haven’t seen Chris since High School, he was a true friend and a great person. He will always be missed.

Well done Shanno , for the Obit. I waited for it anxiously. You did a fine job. I was thinking todaythat maybe your mom wounld enjoy a memorial garden. Was thinking as much as she enjoys roses, I could get a certificated for rosebushes for your mom. Maybe???
Looking for something to give her a focus of rememberance.
