Unfortunately my best memories with Sheliah are limited. With that said a lot of times in life it's not the quantity of time spent with a person but the quality of time. I can certainly say the time we spent together was really special for me. She judged me NOT by what people had said about me but from what she saw.
Our last visit, I notice how intensely she listen to every word in our conversation. She listened like I was the only person in the room. This is such a good trait in a person. She will be missed and she will always be loved by me. Her and Jack will always remain in my prayers. You will certainly be missed Aunt Sheliah, I Love You Very Much! William

May God hold you in the palm of his hand during your hours of grief. Both of my parents had birthdays in December, and I still miss drawing close to their wisdom and humor. I know the old adage that it will get easier with time sounds so hollow when your loss is fresh. Try to rest in the knowledge that many people are praying for you.

Kaili and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your grandma was a very sweet person and I enjoyed talking with her whenever I had the chance. MY heart goes out to your family. She will be missed greatly, but she is in good hands now.
