Words can hardly express how beautiful, loving, artistic, young, and creative my cousin Shauna was. Shauna you were a wonderful mother and friend. Thank you to all her helper angels who took such good care of her. We are sending warm hugs and caring thoughts to Dante Cheryl, Chuck, Brandon, Jen, Dave, and the kids.
Love and will miss you forever!
Angie, Danny, Aidan, and Violet
Sending up prayers for Shauna's family.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
Om, Peace, Peace, Peace.
May the Berglund and Immel families find peace.
Namaste.

As I shed a tear for Shauna, I am sending hugs and thoughts to Shauna's family and friends and just want you to know that Shauna spread love and friendship all over the world and will be very missed.
Good buy sweet Shauna - now an angel at rest.

I only happened on this site a month or so ago. I am fighting a cancer as well. Seeing and feeling how Shauna dealt with this disease, while first quite a shock to me as I saw the notes she would post tail off (still containing her wonderful, contagious spirit for life), the way she stood up till the end provides inspiration. It is scary that there very well may be such an end for myself but her example provides comfort, context, and spiritual relief. Those of you in her family and circle are clearly all the better for counting her as your friend.
Love,
Bruce (a fellow Bruin)
Why does this terrible disease always take the good ones. Thanks Shauna for sharing your creative spirit and wonderful way with words with us. I will miss seeing our ucla on line.
good night sweet princess. we know you were growing tired and a cure was not to be. with tearful eyes we knew you suffered and saw you fade away. although we couldn't bear to lose you, we couldn't bid you stay, a golden heart stopped beating, creative hands laid to rest. our hearts broke to prove to us heaven only takes the best. look down on us sweet shauna, we need your drive and strength.
i would also like to add my love and admiration to my sister cheryl for the
selfless and willing sacrifices she has made during these last few years and will be making for the next few years for her family and of course, our family. i know it has been a trying journey but one made willingly and with eyes wide open. i know she is totally commited to the task ahead. my love and sympathy to dave, kaelin and spencer. shauna will be with you forever. we will miss her forever. love, dante shirley
We were blog friends so we never met in person, but I did find Shauna completely inspiring and wonderful. Hugs and prayers to her family.
I only knew you threw this blog and from Nic Howard. I can not begin to say how sorry I am, know that your family is in my prayers and thoughts.
Your home Shauna, and I know you traveled there on angels wings.
I knew Shauna & Dave for a year when they played basketball in Australia. Shauna was a fantastic person,she was a hit with everyopne she met. I just found out of her passing & it greatly sadden me, and bought back found memories when she was in oz.
Dave my heart goes out to you and your family.
lots of love Scotty

Shauna and I only met in person once but I considered her a dear and brave friend. She was such an inspiration about how to live life fully, with laughter, love and kindness. I am so saddened by the news and so very sorry for her family's loss. I pray she is at peace. Her soul will live forever. We may not be able to see it, but like love, when we feel it, we know it's real. We just know. Good bye Shauna. - Tara
Why are the good ones taken away at such a young age? Her creativity was amazing, her writings were moving, and her fight most definitely inspirational. Thank you for all you gave.
all your basketball friends in oz are thinking of you dave, our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
My prayers are with all who loved her. She has impressed so many people with her amazing talent and her creations will inspire others for years to come. Please know that thousands of people have been touched by this wonderful woman. She will be in our hearts forever. May God grant you peace and comfort.
Nice Post.
Informative Post.
