    Elaine and Nathaniel, I am so sorry for your loss. Shelley was a great person who I met through Emilee. She was always very sweet and had a great smile. Emilee, I know Shelley was very dear to you and she will be missed so much. I can't expres how sorry I am. Just know she is not hurting anymore and in a much better place now. You meant the world to her just as she does to you. Cherish the great memories you have. I am here for you always.

    I enjoyed working with Shelley at Gulf Stream. She was the type of person to help anyone who needed help and always made new employees feel welcome. You would never have guessed she had been through so many health issues with her sunny disposition. I will miss her smiling presence. May her memories help to ease the pain of her loved ones.

    Shelley had a sweet courageous and accepting spirit. Smiled through adversity and crisis. She was always eager to learn and was tenancious in her ability to understand. Shelley laughed and enjoyed her life albeit trying at times...it was her unbending courage that inspired me. Shelley will be missed, but I know she is finally at peace with her body's physical trials.

    I am so very blessed to have had you as my friend for so many years. You had so many struggles, but took them all in stride. I was always amazed at your perseverance (good old fashioned stubbornness) and zest for life. I will miss you greatly and our visits, but know you are with our Lord now having the time of your life. I love you!
