Dear Werner, Aunt Claire, Pam, Greg and Judy and the entire Pletscher & Grover families, I send you my deepest sympathy. I was deeply saddened to hear of the demise of our dear Shelley Anne. I adored her. Her sparkling and vivacious personality will never be forgotten, but greatly missed. With much love and deep sympathy, william basinski

Shelley was my husband's assistant at the Pennzoil Products Co. Her cheerful efficiency was invaluable in attaining results and reaching goals. She stayed in touch after we retired and she and Werner visited us in Inverness. CA. while she was in remission. I told her she looked more beautiful than ever. After my husband died, she continued to call me with her loving sympathy. My deepest condolences go to Werner and the families. We have lost a true Angel.

Shelley and Werner are really special people to us.
Soon after my Evelyn was advised in 2005 to consider a stem cells transplant in her battle with multiple myeloma, mutual friend Linda Gist put her in contact with Shelley. From the beginning, Shelley was a cheerleader and became a strong soul sister. Until someone has encountered this sort of problem, you cannot know how much a mentor and confidant can mean.
When Evelyn was getting her transplant at M.D.Anderson Cancer Center, Shelley was there holding her hand. Shelley knew. She had been through two such experiences.
In the months to come, these two talked weekly and we often visited when coming to Houston for MDACC appointments. Shelley, as others have noted, was beautiful inside and out. It was consoling to me to know that Evelyn had someone she could visit like a sister.
Evelyn and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity of this friendship with Shelley and Werner. While it was much too short in time, it had depth.
We feel blessed but are torn by such a deep loss.
To Werner and the families, we express our deepest and sincerest sympathy.

I first met Shelley in late 1962 when we started 7th grade at Duchesne. Following our school years we lost touch but happily reconnected six years ago while she was organizing the reunion for Duchesne's class of 1968. Was I impressed with all that she'd done and who she had become. Fiercely independent, and aggressively interested in learning, understanding and exploring the world around her, she lived energetically and fully. It seemed incredible to me how Multiple myloma was hardly an obstacle to any of this. In addition, she always opened her door when I needed someone to listen or lean on. She sure taught me alot and I will miss her greatly.

To Werner and all of Shelley's family:
I'm so sorry for your lost. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I met Shelly at the IMF Patient and Family Seminar in Houston in 2006. My husband Bob has MM.
Shelly was a wonderful person who will be missed by her myeloma family. I will miss her emails, her wit, her support....I could go on and on.
Please accept my condolences.
