From Ron Horne, today:

Shannon Sails on Calm Waters
I just wanted to let you all know that Shannon passed away this morning in her sleep. Arrangements are being made for a memorial service at St. Michael's Episcopal Church. As soon as I know the details I will let you know.
Thank you for all of your heart-felt support, encouragement and prayers. Sheila, as you might imagine, is completely devastated as are her parents who are with her in Florida. She is going to need all of our help, love, hugs, and spirit in the coming days. I'll keep you advised.
