Brinda Shelley Obituary

June 4, 1995 - Dec 1, 2010 Brinda Jean Shelley aka Big Pimpin' Brindee Boo, went to join the angels in Heaven on Wednesday, December 1, 2010 in Eureka, CA, where she resided for the past 15 years; which was her whole life. Born June 4, 1995 and raised in Eureka, CA by Connie and Tim. She was loved by all who she came in contact with. She was known for her kind heart, her loving nature, her beautiful smile, and her stubbornness. She had a way of being able to give the shirt off her back for any body in need. She was the most forgiving person in the whole wide world. She was loved by many with her high spirited and cocky attitude towards life. She would let a person know if she didn't like something. She spent many hours with her besties Leslie, Jennifer, Taylor and many more, and her cousin Tyler. She also spent a lot of time with her brothers Ryan and Travis, and cousin Trisha. She loved the outdoors so she could hang out with her best friends to go hang out at the park and mall, or just to hang out with her friends. Though she will be greatly missed our little angel is no longer in pain. She is now flying free with the angels up in the stars. She is survived by her parents Tim and Connie Shelley, her brothers Ryan Burt and Travis Mogg, her uncles Jean Fulton and wife Trisha, Mark Burris, Mike Adams, Brad Shelley, Hal Burris and wife Carol, Aunt Terry Rose, Pam Jelineo, Dawn Burris, Great Grandparents Barbara and Don Wilson, Grand parents Linda Burris and Claude Burris, Elaine Newton, Sue Burris, cousin Trisha Burris, Shayla and Jason Burris, angel little, Tony Burris, friends Leslie, Jennifer, Taylor, Karlie, Bree, Jamie and many more family, and numerous close friends who loved her dearly. The celebration of life will be held at Runeberg Hall located on the corner of Wabash and Union in Eureka, on Sunday December 12, 2010 between 1pm-5pm during the celebration of life we will be having potluck. Please bring a dish if you'd like. Any donations can be sent to Bank of America, Brinda Shelley memorial fund on F St, Eureka. Please sign the guest book at www.Times-Standard.com, click obits.

Tim, Connie, Ryan and Travis
I worked with Brinda in preschool at Winzler. I Loved her spirit and her steadfast stubborness. She was a joy to teach. She was vary bright and curious and kept me on my toes with her questions. She was continuously picking up the worms that would be on the sidewalks after a rain and she would put them in the garden. She loved the garden and helped with every aspect of the planting and harvesting process. I am deeply saddened for your loss. I pray for GOD to send Love and Grace as well as daily strength to you all throughout this time.

December 15, 2010

Dear Tim, Connie and Family,
Although I did not know your precious Brinda, reading your words of honoring her life with such great love really touched me. I can only imagine the pain of losing a beautiful child. I learned today why God allows us to suffer such great loss: that we may help others in their loss, that we may trust in God's help and not our own, and to claim God's promises of His love to us. Tim, you comforted me in my loss of my beloved recently and again I thank you for that. Now, may my simple words of friendship, prayers of comfort and peace to you and your dear family be received as you heal.
Sincerely, Dottie Haukenberry and Ruby-Dog, too

Dear Tim & Connie,
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" 2 Corinthians 5:8. Although she will be dearly missed, she is in a beautiful place free from pain, free from sorrow, crying & tears. She has eternal rest. May God be with you and care for you each and every day of your lives!

Love Alway & Always Love

Life is not a simple thing
It's full of emotions,
Complications to the core.
To live through life, you need peace
No more wars, or fights, or angry people wandering around.
To have peace you need love,
More hugs
More kisses,
More care to spread around.
Now that your circle is completed,
Happiness will be there to protect you
All year long.

Life comes with up and downs,
But the most important part,
Is that you decide what
Life means to you.

My thoughts prayers and heart go to you. Connie I was looking at my MY SPACE and you were 1 of the 1st ones to e-mail me when my daughter Lyndsay died. I still have it. Brinda was always respectful to me and she always smiled and laughed and lit up the room. Now Brinda is an angel and free. She will always be missed. If you need ANYTHING at all my family is here for you. Im blessed to know her and you too.

To feel the greatest pain is to have known the greatest love. Peace and strength to Tim and Connie. Brinda, I remember you in your pink princess gown and white shoes, only four years old, coming over to play with my daughter and your friend, Kelly. I remember how your pink violin stood out at the concerts at Alice Birney making Kelly say "I want a pink cello". I remember how brave you were up on the rocks diving into the water at Richardson Grove. I remember lots of goods things when I think of you Brinda and always will. Your passing has brought great sorrow and many tears but through them I see you shine. Much too young to go..God you were so young! Love, Erika Jack and Kelly Koehn...also Earlene Jack.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was looking at my MY SPACE Connie and realized that when my daughter Lyndsay died you were 1 of the 1st to e-meil me and I still have it. the girls are together with their Aunt & Uncle and many family members. If there is ANYTHING at all I or my family can do for you please let me know. Brinda was always respectful and her smile and bubblieness did light up the room and I always liked to see her and Michaela together and of course when they were all little watching them grow.
