    Will never be forgotten by Mom & Dad Caplinger. We loved her and are sad, but also know she is with Jesus and awaits her resurrected body and is just merely says ahead of us from this world. Shauna moved her family and Church and friends. She raised he children to follow God, worked and served him to the end.
