Jean, I believe I met you at Shelli's Salon. She always told me how much of a mentor you were after her own Mom's death . I know Shelli is heartbroken with losing you. She loved you so much.
Shelli is in a happy place now, and I know you gave her the same advice her Mom would have given her. Thank you for that. Sondra Hedberg
