Heartfelt  prayers for you and your family. Joseph Sharp

Dear Pete and family,

We will treasure our memories of Shannon and the good times shared with you all. She was a brave and wonderful lady.

We know that she is in a better place and she will take care of you all.

Juan and Ines

Pete and Reuss family -

I feel great sadness.  


Just at the time I was returning to my old interest in toy soldiers - K&C Crusaders had triggered my passion - I discovered Treefrog.  


Who would have thought - girls selling toy soldiers?


But Shannon and her team were knowledgeable, professional and friendly, honest and helpful, and gave me the impression of having been in business for a long time (which it appears was not the case!).  They knew their stuff, and shared what they knew.  The Treefrog "attitude" - which must have originated with Shannon - was just what this newbie needed.  I've stuck with Treefrog for quite a few years now, and never found any reason to look for another vendor.  

I now have upwards of 1,000 figures on 15 shelves, thanks to Shannon.  My father, who loved toy soldiers (in a different age, it is true) would have approved.

Shannon will greatly be missed, but the Treefrog "culture" which she created is in good hands and will be with us for a long time, I trust.  As will her memory.

I'm so sorry to learn of the passing of your wife and best friend. My condolences and prayers go  out to your family. May prayers comfort you all in this difficult time Take care that her suffering is over. She has gone to be with The Father in Heaven.  May the Lord bless and keep you all.4

A great and lovely lady sadly has gone, hopefully to a better world where there is no nasty sickness but where she can carry on the good work she did in the modelworld here on planet earth.

My heartfelt condolences to Shannon's family and friends. I just lost my wife of 42 years, Wendy, to lung cancer so I truly feel your pain.

Like many other Treefrog customers I never met Shannon in person, but everytime I corresponded with Treefrog Treasures I was writing to her and always received a warm and friendly response. She was a beautiful woman in so many ways. I'm glad Treefrog Treasures will carry on as her legacy. I know she is with her God. May her memory live on in all those who knew and love her.

Aloha and Mahalo, Shannon,

God Bless you Shannon, you are now at peace, taken from your family at such a young age, may your legacy continue to carry your name forward

My deep condolences on your loss.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences at this very difficult time to Shannon's family and friends. While she is in good hands now, it is up to those of us still living to carry the grief and mourn her passing. Most of all we must remember the good things and good times and commemorate her achievements. While I never met Shannon in person I had the opportunity to  speak and write to her. Each occasion was positive and uplifting !! I share your feelings about Shannon  and I know her legacy will continue.

Dear Peter and family, as well friends at Treefrog,

I just opened my computer to read eagerly Shannon's weekly news and learnt with sorrow that she was no longer with us. From far away Buenos Aires - Argentina please accept my deeply felt condolences for the loss of a great lady, affecting the toy soldier community everywhere. She is no longer suffering and with our Lord. From there she will continue to watch and protect you forever.

   To the Reuss family.  I have been a Treefrog customer for several years and looked forward each week to Shannon's column, if I may call it as such.  Reading it made me feel as if I knew her and a very nice lady she seemed to be, too.  I am shocked and saddened to hear the news.  For her to accomplish all that she did in view of her adversities is remarkable.  But you know that better than I.  My prayers and thoughts go to all of you.

When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven who watches over us.  May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now.  I extend my most sincere condolences to you and the Treefrog Treasures family. 

Sorry for your loss.  Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Ian and Bill

I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how hard this has been. She is no longer suffering and is singing in heavens choir! May God comfort you in this time of great sorrow. Hugs Suzanne

Bill & Jan & family

Dear Pete and Ben,   

Shannon has undoubtedly touched our hearts throughout this community as well as across the world, and we share deeply in your grief.  We will continue to lift you, your family, and your closest friends in prayer, as you embrace God’s love through her everlasting peace.  I envision, with her enchanting voice, that she has already taken over the choir of angels and is delightfully singing glorious praises to our Heavenly Father!
