Janessa Alisz Shannon was born August 8, 2003 to Michelle Mosley and Nahshon Shannon in Sarasota, Florida.

She attended Harllee Middle School in Bradenton, Florida.  Janessa loved to watch Mind Craft, playing video games, and hanging out with her sisters. She loved horses and loved to please everybody else.  Janessa was fun loving and a very quiet person.  Going fishing with Daddy Eugene was the highlight of her life.  She was so thrilled when she learned to bait her own line.  One her most favorite past times was to take nature walks with her family.
