Shelley M. Van Stensel

Jim, we were shocked to hear about Shelley. We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. The photo from Amy's wedding at your beautiful home brought back good memories of that day. May good memories and family help you through this difficult time. THE WISERS - Doug, Judi & Derek

Jim - This is really shock to all and especially you and Dana. Really sorry!! I know that she found real joy in her home and gardens - what a nice memory. We'll be thinking of you and Dana and our hearts go out to you.

Dear Nicki, Erin, Alex, and Dana,

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I am so sorry I wasn't there but I just found out today from Pat Cavalier. You guys were the greatest neighbors and we had so much fun when our kids were young. I have so many amazing memories of all of you growing up and the times we spent together. As so many people have told you, your mom was a true friend and a wonderful mom, and she always inspired me. Please know you are all in our thoughts and...

Dana and Family,

I just loved Shelley. She was a special lady so devoted to family and friends. I always remember her and I talking of Dana during her high school years. We already new one another from my neighbor but talked quite often by phone and in person while Dana was in school. She was always so upbeat and loving. I cherish the memories I have of her and pray for peace for her family. Loosing your spouse and MOM is such a void. Stay strong and hang onto the great memories...

Nicole, Dave, Tyler, and Linde-

We are shocked and saddened by the horrible news of your mom and grandma passing. I hope in time you find peace and joy in good times remembered. Please know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the coming weeks and months...and many hugs are being sent from PA.

Take care...we are so sorry for your loss.

Love, Rob and Steph

Dear Mr. Van Stensel,

We have never met. I work with Bill McDonald. Reading the entries about your wife have been an encouragement to me. A woman who lived life well. You obviously have a close knit family, a gift from God. I am acquainted with loss and grief, the path is not easy but God's grace will be evident. I wanted to express my sympathies and to say that I will pray in the coming year that the peace of God will keep your family's heart and mind staid on Jesus...

Nikki, Dave,Tyler and Linde,
I am so sorry about the shock of losing your mom/grandma. We are only a few blocks away and always available, whatever you need and whenever you need us. We love you and are praying for the whole family.
Love, The Coulter Family

Nik & Family- I will greatly miss your mom. She was such a great person! My thoughts will be with you across the many miles. It is truly a shock to me!

Erin, Dana, and Jim
First of all I am so very sorry about your mom and wife.
I just loved Shelley and am in shock!
I have been off work since Weds. babysitting grandkids, so Sue was kind enough to call and tell me at home. The kids were not picked up by their parents til 6 tonight or I would have been at the funeral home.
If there is anything I can do to help all of you, please let me know. I will miss her so much. Did she ever mentioned that the 2 of us were going to figure...
