I am happy to have had the opportunity to meet Shelly when I did. Her presence made a difference in the lives of not just staff but the many people she was able to assist in her job. She kept coming in and helping others.

Working with Shelly I remember the love of her joy as she decorated our workplace at Christmas - now she has the stars above to light her beautiful trees

Shelly had a beautiful spirit. I knew Shelly for only 6 months but it felt like I had known her a life time. She loved talking about her children and grandchildren. Shelly was so giving and creative. My last conversation with Shelly was the day before Thanksgiving. She walked up to my desk and made me the most beautiful snowflakes. I placed them on my window and Shelly stated now when you come to work you can see these from the parking lot. She was correct! Every day I look at my snowflakes and think of Shelly. A beautiful angel with a heart of gold.
