So sorry for your loss. We were great friends for many years and lost touch in recent years. She was a bright light is very descriptive of your Mom. May your beautiful memories and the love of your family help ease your grief. Much love. Jane

Shay was truly one of the most caring and trustworthy friends I´ve ever had. She had the beautiful quality of seeing the best in people. In addition to spending time playing golf with our daughters, we´ve had many dinners together catching up and sharing confidences. I am so sorry for your loss, Shelley, and so sad, that I will no longer have her in my life.

Shay and I lived in the same dorm our freshman year at the UO. For Thanksgiving, Shay, another dorm mate and I shared a sleeper roomette on the train to California. Shay got off in Colusa, I got off in Oakland and the third member in Salinas. Thinking back, I can't imagine how all three of us fit in the roomette to sleep but I know we had a great time.
