To her mom Mrs.Alma Travis and children I'm sorry for the loss of Shawanda very sweet and fun classmate
Lord knows I'm going to miss my work friend. I remember how beautiful and happy Shawanda was at Saroya's wedding. Her smile and her laughter is what I looked forward to every morning when I enter the work place. I finally met someone who loves to laugh all the time like me. We honestly encouraged each other. Rest easy my friend.

We are really going to miss her at work she was a very sweet person and I'm so sorry for your loss. Cybill Murray
Travis and family I am genuinely going to miss my work friend!!! I would always greet her each morning with "hey Mrs Porter". Shawanda was one, that I talked to all of the time, maybe a little too much. I have say that one thing I liked doing, was making her laugh out loud, unexpectedly. I am truly grateful, to have gotten a chance, to know her.
