    Shellie was such a sweetheart. I loved all our visits and will miss her so much. I have never known anyone like her before who was so kindhearted while living through such tough times. She never complained. Even after surgery and complications she just said she was glad they could do what they did to help her. I hope she’s flying with the angels now for she deserves it.

    To Shellie’s Family,
    Shellie babysat my girls when she was in high school. Then we got to visit daily when I had the Far West Cafe and she worked in the Hometown Video/Rental store. We also for a time lived on the same block in town. Though we will miss her, it is good to know the suffering for her is past. We will all hold tight to our memories of Shellie and her laughter!
