"I stumble upon your you tube channel and I thought how cool and sweet you are. I then read some comments and noticed you are no longer with us-it broke my heart. May you continue to sleep in peace and continue to guide your loving children during their path. "

"I once read this "What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Words cannot heal the pain of losing someone so dear. Take comfort in your memories for they will indeed be a part of you forever. You all have some great memories I see them all on Facebook what I love most of all is that she always had a BIG smile on her face. May the good memories hold deep in all your heart. Love you all...Shani RIP my dear. Camile love you and your family stay strong ????"
"Shani, I did not know you very long but the short time that I've known you, you made me feel as though we had been friends for years. I am still in shock about this and will never understand why you had to go in this manner but your spirit will live on in many of us. You have touched so many people with your warm and welcoming spirit and great personality! You will be sadly missed until we meet again my friend! Love you Shani! ~~~~~ Catina (Cat)"

"Shani was truly an angel. One of the sweetest and kindest person I've ever encountered. We met years ago in Philadelphia and she instantly became a true genuine friend. Even though we live miles apart we talked frequently and it were as if we were around the corner from each other. She loved her children endlessly. She loved her family and spoke highly of them. You will forever be in my heart my friend, rest well you are safe now. "
