A Tribute to Shanda on her 27th Birthday!!

Ryan helped me to break into Shanda's blog so that I could post this video I made for her birthday. My name is Janell and I am one of Shanda's older sisters. Shanda, you have no idea how much I love and appreciate you. Compiling this video really brought back some amazing memories. I can't imagine what my life would have been like without you. I'm so greatful for you. We all are. You truly make this world better, brighter and happier. Happy birthday! Love, Nellie
