    Dear Tracy, The first day that Shauna arrived at Perry High School, I was asked to show her around the building, classrooms, etc. I liked her from that day on because she was sweet, honest, sincere and determined to hit life head-on despite her hearing disability. I can only imagine how much she will be missed and how hard it is on you, her siblings and her precious children. You have our deepest sympathy. How comforting it is to know that when Jesus and his kingdom are ruling over the earth, "death will be brought to nothing- as the last enemy." (1 Corinthians 15:25, 26) With Jesus having that great of power, we can be confident that he also has the power and desire to resurrect all of those in God's memory. No doubt, that includes our beloved Shauna and my sister, Paula. (John 5:28, 29) We still live here in Perry, and I haven't seen you in a long time. I don't have your phone number anymore, so please feel free to call me anytime, 515-360-4342 and let me know if there is anything I can do to help. My Megan and I sent flowers to the funeral, I hope you get them OK. Love, Pam Fantauzzi
