Lane and family,

I'm so very sorry about Shelly. I can't imagine loosing my husband. You have been together so long. My heart breaks for you and your family. My husband and I lost our two year old daughter 10 years ago. Keep busy and talk about Shelly as much as you can. That helped us. Make new traditions to remember her for holidays etc.

Love, Ada (Scovill) Goodworth
