So sad to learn about Shanel tragic accident. A great many will miss her beautiful smile and charming personality.
So sad to hear this news about my former student. I taught her at Lake Ridge Elementary. My heart is aching from this news.
It’s hard to type this post, however, I will feel horrible if I don’t give my condolences. I was just a few cars away and was one of the vehicles passing after she crashed. Just know that people immediately stopped and tried to assist her. It was a hard sight to see. I immediately began to pray for her soul and the strength of the family. I am extremely sorry for your lost. Just be assured that she can now serve as one of your many angels.
Thoughts and prayers for her family during this difficult time.
Ms. Little was more than just a student teacher, she was a friendly smile to see every morning in passing. Our thoughts and prayers will be with her family and friends. The students at NMHS will miss her greatly.
May her soul rest and abide with the Lord and smile down on her family, friends, and GSU family. My prayers go out to Shanel’s family during this time.
