    Shellie you were my youngest you were funny, caring and loving. I know we haven’t talk in a couple years. There was never a day that went by that I wish you would call me.

    Shelley will be deeply missed by so many because of the love and kindness she shared in her smile. It is so hard to express my feelings because of the pain in my heart. I feel so bad for her family and friends that are in her daily life. All I can say is she is free from her pain and anguish, and I can’t wait to see her again so we can laugh and cry out about the old times. God bless all that knew her, I will be praying for all.
