Dear Gordie, Randi & Ted, Bill, Greg and families;
Truly saddened to hear of the beautiful Shaune’s passing. Gordie you were so lucky to have such a wonderful partner all these years and I know you will all be struggling with her loss, as will Scott and all her grandchildren and siblings and her many friends. The town will miss her as she was a vital member of the community. I recall after her Dad, Art had a heart attack, we would see her Mom walking him every evening – no doubt in part because of their nursing daughter’s advice. When I bumped into her on the street on my visits home she would welcome me with her wonderful smile. Cherish the memories of a wonderful person and a life well-lived.
Barb and Ulf
I am so very sorry to hear this news. Shaune was such a positive and caring person and her passing comes as a shock.
I don’t think I know anyone who could have chosen a better career as she just epitomized what a person needs to be a nurse.
To all of her family, an already difficult summer has just become much worse. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
