Her legacy
Shauna  

Shauna was a great person she loved life loved people especially children . Shauna had gone on to Queens University to study to become a nurse she graduated in June of 2000. Shauna was offered a job in the Intensive Care unit in Antrim area hospital . She loved the job but like all other jobs she had a lot of stress especially in this field were she had to deal with people being critically ill and in a lot of cases her patients dying. Shauna was a compassionate nurse and would often spend many nights sitting by the side of terminally ill patients. She wanted no one under her care to be lonely or scared .

Shauna loved all children especially all her nieces and nephews they were her life . She loved to spend time with all of them.

Shauna was engaged to be married to the love of her life Anthony. They had bought a home together went on hoildays every year life was good.

Sadly in October of 2004 Shauna began suffering from bouts of depression.We as a family have no doubt this was a direct result  of how an incident was handled at work.Shauna was left feeling very disillusioned with her employers;to whom she felt she had given100per cent.Ultimately the support Shauna needed was not given. This was the beginning of the end. On the morning of the 6th January Shauna decided to take her own life. 
It has been 9 months since Shauna took her own life ,you have some good days and some really bad days when you are consumed with her death maybe you could have stopped her . You feel guilty for not talking to her long enough,maybe I should have called that night.We realize now she had signs of some one who was severally depressed.Her family and fiance miss her every day. Life is not the same anymore . Mammy is heartbroken as is Anthony the loss is terrible . Shauna was given to us for 27 years I just wish we were given another 27 years more. We miss her more than words can say. We  know that she is looking after all those little babies in heaven. Until we meet again love you, miss you so much

Shauna's Memorial Poem  
It was a sudden parting
Too bitter to forget
Those who loved you dearly
Are those who cannot forget


We often sit and think of you
And think of how you died
To think we could not say goodbye
Before you closed your eyes

Your life was one of kindly deeds
A helping hand for others needs
Sincere and true in heart and mind
Beautiful memories left behind

The blow was hard, the shock severe
To part with one we loved so dear
Our loss is great, we'll not complain
But trust in God we will meet again

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The link can join again

We hold you close within our hearts
And there you shall remain
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again

So rest in peace dear Shauna
And thanks for all you've done
We pray that God has given you,
The crown you've truly won.
