My sister-in-law that was an awesome Aunt. We will miss her for sure.
When Shelley was growing up, she lived next door to us. My kids loved her dearly. She became our full-time babysitter. We loved her dearly. We even took her out of town with us. She was full spirited and so kind. Such a big loss at a young age. She will be missed.
😢 I love you sis.
Shelley was a very sweet spirited lady. I enjoyed her phone calls, laughter, and friendship. I know God has her wrapped in his arms. My heart goes out to her family during this difficult time.
She was my life long best friend, since third grade. I have been out of touch and just recently found out, she was too young and had a lot of life still un-lived. I will truly miss her!
