A source said ‘everyone is totally devastated’ to learn of her passing and Facebook has been flooded with tributes to the ‘beautiful angel’ who was the ‘life and soul of every party’.
‘Shannon was one of the kindest people I knew and she would do anything for anyone. She was the life and soul of a party. It is so sad,’ the insider said.
