A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 6th from 11 am until 2 pm to The Point Church at 2578 Donica Rd in Greenwood, Indiana with a tribute to Shannon immediately following. In lieu of flowers, donations to help with ongoing educational and therapy expenses for the children may be made at Chase Bank to the Shannon Peterman Lester Memorial Fund.

My heart goes out to all of you as each of you now battle grief for your huge loss of Shannon in your earthly lives. I wish we could remove your pain, but we are not able to do that for you. We can pray for your daily strength and that you will draw closer to each other to make it through the days ahead. Will pray that you can draw great memories of Shannon and share those with each other to help fill some of the empty moments you will have. You are deeply loved and although we cannot remove your grief, we can come along side as Shannon would want us to do for her amazing family that she loved dearly.
