Shelly was like her mother,just a sweetheart to work with. Her awesome faith in God and wonderful smile was always on display, even after a 10 or 12 hour shift. Tears flowed from my eyes when I got the news but Praise God joy will come again when I embrace you in Heaven.Bernie

I worked with Shelley at the post office many years ago but will never forget the fun nights we had. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She never had a negative thing to say about anyone.

My sympathies go out to her family
