Sean, It is with a broken heart I send my sincere condolences to you and the entire family. Shelley was like a sister to me. She will always have a place in my heart. We had so many wonderful adventures with each other, great memories that I will cherish forever. She always spoke of you with such love and was a mother who was very proud of your accomplishments. She touched so many lives with her unwavering kindness. We are all blessed to have known her and to have had her in our lives.
