cannot even wrap my head around shelly passing forward.. i dont know.. are there words?... maybe.. as i remember so many many great and stupid memories whether it be playing with barbies..birthday parties in the drive way.. donna telling us to knock it off... to singing at the top of lungs to the robin hood sound track with kevin kostner.. this is surreal.. it personally makes my stomach ache thinking that someone like you has passed forward... today is the day of my mother's passing and wrote this.. hopefully you all find comfort in these words... and you guys know mom and shell are hugging right now.. xoxo
"death is an interesting part of life... some may find it untimely.. some unfair.. and others may even take comfort... what i have learned most recently from this past year is that grief has no stop watch.. it will come and go in waves... and as long as you are gentle and patient with yourself during the process.. you will begin to realize that you never "truly" lose someone when they sit within your heart..." ~ am xoxoxo

I choose to remember Shelly's happy/confidence. I met her one single time at a work event with Jeff. Whoever chose the photo here was successful in capturing her happiness. Most work events always carry a tiny bit of chaos, where everyone is trying to meet all their objectives in a small window of time. Shelly was sitting at our table and I had just sat down next to Jeff. Within a few minutes she changed seats with Jeff to sit next to me. The topic was the Chicago White Sox. Outside of a brief revisit to the remarkable '05 season, we were sharing our current suffering. It was a stimulating conversation. Shelly was on her baseball game. She had confidence for certain. Her questions were a level deeper and she had opinions, but they were hard to argue. Within a few more minutes, there was laughter...

I’ll never forget how you and I became friends:
1st grade-I asked to borrow your crayon-You gave me the crayon-Then I asked if you wanted to be my friend-You said “sure”
And that was it. We were friends for the next 30+ years. My childhood wouldn’t have been the same without you. Some of the best times of my life were spent with you. Of course, as you get older, life happens and you don’t see each other as much as you used to but every time we’d get together we’d pick up right where we left off, like no time had passed. At the end of the night my cheeks and stomach would be aching from laughter. That’s what I’ll remember and that’s what I’ll miss, the laughter. Thank you for saying “sure” and changing my life forever.

There’s not a childhood memory that you’re not in. I keep hearing your laugh and seeing your smile and replaying memories that I’ve stored for posterity. I’ve never laughed as hard or as easily as I did with you, and perhaps, I may never again. You were always so calm and exuded such a gentle leadership that I’ve always admired. Im so proud of the lady you turned out to be, although I never doubted you wouldn’t be just amazing. I’m not ok with you not being here anymore, but I’ll hold onto your smile and positivity in my heart until we meet again my dear friend. Love, Brooke
And to Donna, Joe, Jeff, Joe, Kelly, Kayla, Lexi, Grace, and Jack, I’m praying you find comfort however you can and can always remember that she was loved tremendously by all of you and she loved you that strongly as well. I love you guys.
