Not sure what to say?

I think about you every day, Shelley. EVery day. I miss you and your smile and your laugh. I wish we could have spent more time together.

Worked with Shelley several years ago at Juvenile Court. She was one of the smartest, most amicable young women I have had the pleasure of knowing. She rose through the ranks very quickly. Know hers was a life well-lived. Sincere condolences to her many friends and family.

I did not personally know Shelly I knew her through Ray I became friends with Ray when I bought a telescope from Ray and became friends with him and Shelly. Although I really never knew her I felt as as though I did through Ray.

I am most commonly known as Referee Warmerdam and I believe that Shelley´s first assignment as a court clerk was in my court room. I was blessed to keep her for a brief period. She was brought, perceptive and hard working. Her talents were so obvious that she was stolen away by a judge downtown.

Obviously, I have a lifetime of memories with Shelley, but some of my favorites were sitting alone with her in the back of our race trailer at the track chatting about work, family, her trips, music, racing, and life in general. Just passing the time between practice, qualifying, or the race. Good stuff.

Just stopping by on one of our bike trips, She always had time for her friends. Janet and I will cherish our memories and always have you in our hearts. Love you girl !!!
