To Shellys' family, I am so very sorry for your loss. You don't know me, as a matter of fact I didn't know Shelly. But I saw this obituary and felt compelled to write. I am 38, and married with 3 young children, and I nearly died the same exact way not to long ago, and knowing that could have been me makes me feel so much for all of you. Please take care of the those poor children, for a mother can never be replaced. God Bless.
