Shawne passed away the year we were Juniors in March of 1990. Her life was cut short by a fatal car accident. She was such a kind hearted person who had a great smile and tried to befriend everyone. She was a great friend to me and is thought of all the time. It is hard to believe that she has been gone over 20 years! The song "Friends are Friends Forever" by Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant always reminds we of her and chokes me up. I remember singing it as a tribute to her at our Chorus Banquet our Junior year in High School. I only wish she could be there to celebrate our 20 year Reunion. I know she will be there in spirit and in the memories of her friends and peers.

I still have the recipe for rock candy that Shawne copied for me out of a school library cook book in the 3rd grade. She was a sweetie even back then.
I remember singing with her in high school and hanging out "out back." I still can't hear "Wind beneath My Wings" without thinking of her.
When I think of her, it reminds me to be thankful to the universe for all that I have experienced, good and bad, in all the years that have passed.
