Just 48 hours after we left Shannyn's home, we were calling on her again. Due to a very unexpected death in the family, we had to return almost immediately to the Twin Cities. Having respite at Shannyn's made the trip much easier. We had a comfortable bed and a sympathetic friend waiting for us each evening when we returned from a long day of taking of the funeral details. It would be hard to adequately express our gratitude to her for taking us in so suddenly and unexpectedly - her kindness can not be overstated.
