It is very difficult to deside what to post here. I had an opportunity to enjoy reading posts from Joni on this messageboard and had the priviledge to meet her once at an Up! concert.

Words cannot adaquately lift the pain that the hearts of Joni's family must be experiencing but to the family, please know that we remember you in our prayers. More than a Shania fan, she was our friend and shared the joy and happiness that Shania's music brought into our days.

The only time I met Joni was at a Shania concert and I remember that after having dinner together with her and a few freinds and sitting near each other at the concert, we said our good-bye with hugs and big smiles. Thats how I will forever and for always remember Joni.

God bless the Sheaffer family at this time of loss.
All my best wishes,
Richard Sessions
