Shane was a loyal friend and was loved by many, many people. He lived a full and fun life. He was always willing to help anyone that needed him. We all wish he could have stayed for a bit longer, now he is in a better place,as Taylor said ridin a cadillac with spinners in the sky. My god bless him and walk with him forever and ever...Amen

            My life was full is savored much

       good friends, good times,a loved one touch

 

      Please don't grieve for me now that i am free 

            I am following Gods path you see



          I took his hands when I heard him call 

            I turned my back and left it all



            Perhaps my time seemed all to brief

       But, please don't lengthen it with undo grief

   

              If my parting has left a void 

         then please fill it with rememberd joys

           A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

            Oh yes these things I will too miss

 

                  So lift up your heart 

                  and peace be to the

                     God wanted me

                     He set me free...
