Our Shona was the nurturing, vivacious mother of three beautiful girls—the one who could make you smile with just one look. Adored by so many, she was the heart of our family and a true friend to everyone she met. After enduring an extensive battle with pancreatic cancer, it breaks our hearts to say she has passed away. Throughout her fight, Shona showed incredible courage and resilience, always reminding us, “I have cancer, cancer doesn’t have me.” She truly inspired everyone who knew her.

 Shona leaves behind three beautiful daughters who are more determined than ever to make their mother proud. They have suffered a pain no one can imagine, losing the first love of their lives. As we navigate this heartbreaking time, we are faced with significant expenses, including funeral costs and outstanding medical bills. Our deepest hope is to make sure her daughters—and our entire family—have the care, support, and stability they need as they learn to live without their mother’s presence.

 We are reaching out during the most devastating time of our lives, asking for support in any form. Your kindness, your generosity, and even your prayers mean more than words can express. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us honor Shona’s beautiful life and bring comfort to the people she cherished most. Thank you for holding us in your thoughts and for any help you can offer as we remember, mourn, and celebrate the incredible woman we were blessed to love.
