Her message
1979 was the greatest gift I ever received from God on Christmas day were Shawn and Shawna!

God gave a gift that was truly divine
On Christmas morning, two miracles came
Shawn and Shawna, I whispered your names

A memory
When you and Shawn were little I gave you guys nicknames scoobydoo and scoobydoe!
In the song 0:43My little Scoobydoo and my sweet Scoobydoe

Her legacy
You had a heart of gold and you were a great mom!
In the song 1:11You brought a heart of gold into this world
You were a mother so tender and true
-
What she misses
Your laugh ,smile,love!
In the song 1:18I miss your laugh, your smile, and your love
-
Who she was

In the song 1:33You gave your life to the Lord in His grace
But six months before, your spirit was blessed
-
Who she was
she raised him very well she never left him you see her you seen him,she always came by just to say hello mom
In the song 2:02If someone saw him, they also saw you
You raised your son with a spirit so bright
Never apart, he was your guiding light
I miss the days you would walk through the door
Just to say "Hello, Mom," I couldn't ask for more
-
Who she was
everything 911 comes around I cry with all the other families… 4days after you turned 22 years old you were gone
In the song 3:24Just four days past twenty-two, suddenly gone
The year that the towers fell, the sorrow lives on
When September rolls around, I weep with the rest
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIIShawna’s story
Shawna was born on Christmas Day in 1979, a twin to her brother Shawn. When they were little, her mom gave them nicknames: Scoobydoo and Scoobydoe.
“1979 was the greatest gift I ever received from God on Christmas day were Shawn and Shawna!”
What her mom wrote
She had a son, and she raised him very well. If you saw her, you saw him, and she always came by with him “just to say hello, Mom.”
She had a heart of gold, and she was a great mom. She gave her life to the Lord six months before she died.
She left suddenly, four days after she turned 22, in 2001. Every time 9/11 comes around, her mom cries with all the other families, because it is the same year Shawna left.
Every Christmas, Shawna and her twin were her gift. “I still have him but I wish you were still here too.”
“Mommy will never forget you”
What she wrote to Shawna
Her mom misses her laugh, her smile and her love. She asked for a tender song for the daughter who will always be her Christmas baby girl.
