We will be up there on Thursday and Friday to celebrate her great life. My favorite memory of Shelley was when I was in HS…after meeting her for the first time when her future husband, Ollie (my brother), brought her to our home. I was peaking outside of my bedroom window as they were leaving after dinner…seeing Ollie and Shelley kissing/giggling…a vision I will always have in my head. So happy.
My condolences go out to Shelly’s family. She was a beautiful person.
So sorry for your loss. She was an excellent woman so kind and beautiful.
Dear Lizzie and family, We send our sincere condolences~ We are so sorry for your loss. Sherry and Bill Levitt, Lawyers North neighbors
She was one of the sweetest people on earth. A true friend of mine back in the “My Sharona” days. My condolences to the family.
Marlene and Rob – so sorry to hear of your loss.
Dearest Marlene, I am in shock and sad to read of Shelly. Condolences to you, Rob, and Shelly’s children. I did not know Shelly was ill or your concerns of her health. I would have been there for you but I just saw it on facebook today. Many prayers for you and the family; my heart goes out to you and the children. May God give you extra strength and grace sufficient to endure your lost. Shelly was a beautiful and wondrous person. Oct 11 is when I lost my Ray. Thinking of you and your family.
