This web site is in memory of Shannon Grace Wallace. God blessed her family with an angel so that she could grace the heavens. This site may be emotional to you, however, it is meaningful to us and our families and has helped us in the "healing" process involved with losing a loved one.
Shannon was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) when Karen was 21 weeks pregnant. Her parents, Karen and Bob, welcomed her into this world at 31 weeks on Tuesday, August 5, 2003 at 6:23 am at Evanston Northwestern Hospital in Evanston, IL. She weighed 3 lbs./14 ozs. and was 15 inches long. Shannon had quite a bit of dark brown hair, unlike Kyle, Blake and Caroline who were all pretty much bald their entire first year.
Her family was honored to be able to share her very short presence in their lives. Shannon passed away in the company of her loved ones at 7:20am.

Shannon Grace Wallace was born August 5, 2003, at 6:23am at Evanston Hospital in Evanston, Illinois.
Her parents, grandparents and aunts were extremely blessed with the chance to hold her, baptize her and be a part of her hour-long life.
Shannon will be welcomed as an angel into the arms of her late maternal great grandparents, Edward and Stephany Swedo and Theodore J. Stanulis, Jr., and paternal great grandparents Robert Leo and Dorothy Wallace and Maxwell Gould.
She will forever be in the hearts and minds of her parents, Robert and Karen Wallace of Gurnee, Illinois, brothers Kyle and Blake, sister Caroline, grandparents Bob and Linda Wallace and Ted and Pat Stanulis of Gurnee, great grandparents, Ollie Stanulis of Waukegan and Bernice Gould of North Attleboro, MA, and all of her aunts and uncles, cousins and friends across the country.
Thank you to everybody who has Shannon and her family in their thoughts and prayers.
