Wally and Barrett family: I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Shelly. I remember all the laughs and good times we had when I was your letter carrier. I am so sorry that I was unable to be there now due to being out of town. May your memories help you get through these difficult times and bring a smile to your faces. May she rest in peace.
