My heartfelt sympathies to those who knew her personally. What a tragic, heartbreaking loss. I was so moved by her grace and personality, particularly as she faced her diagnosis.

I know her soul is free now. Sending thoughts of condolence and strength to the many, many people she touched in her too-short life.
As an aside, before I saw this post, I had an appointment with the dermatologist this morning. I wanted a full skin evaluation to establish a baseline in case anything changes in the future, so it can be caught. Of course, I thought about Shanbrite the whole time, especially when the nurse asked if anything prompted me to have it done. She was probably expecting me to say something like a new freckle, and not that I knew someone with terminal melanoma. :/

Oh no this makes me so sad Many prayers for her family. I am so mad her little girl didn't get to fully know her wonderful mother, I'm mad that her husband won't get to live out the life they planned together. It's just awful.
I don't even really know how to say how angry I am with God this week. I didn't know Shannon aside from her posts here, but my heart is going out to her friends and family. Her spirit will remain with those she touched in life and in death.

I didn't know Shanbrite terribly well, but it's obvious she was loved and that she touched the lives of so many, including mine however briefly. Sending condolences to her friends and loved ones.
I am just now able to get on the boards and came to specifically see how she is doing. I'm so sad to learn of her passing. My heart breaks for her husband, daughter, and friends. I have admired her strength and positivity she has had throughout her battle with the monster that is cancer. She sure did pick the write screen name when she made shanbrite. She was always so "brite" and I could always feel her happiness and love through her posts.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who is grieving for the loss of such a wonderful person.
