                  REMEMBERING STEPHANIE DENISE SHANNON

 Ms. DUCKWORTH. Madam President, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the remarkable life of Ms. Stephanie Denise Shannon, who passed away on 
September 8, 2021.
  Stephanie was born March 24, 1986, in Detroit, MI, to her late 
father, William Everett Shannon, Sr., and her mother, Toni Laverne 
Shannon. Upon completing high school, Stephanie attended Wayne State 
University, where she pursued her passion for helping animals by 
studying veterinary science. To her close friends, she will be 
remembered as a kind and gentle spirit that loved video games and 
enjoyed watching a variety of films. Stephanie was not only a dedicated 
and loyal friend, daughter, and sister, but she was also a devoted 
mother to her son, Cason, whom she referred to as her ``Prince'' and 
her daughter, Madison, whom she referred to as her ``Mini Me.'' The 
love and light that made so many love and appreciate Stephanie will be 
passed down and live through her incredible children. May her radiant 
and loving spirit be remembered by all those who knew her.
