Dearest Shellie, we deeply loved you and your faith. We got to know you through the Hope of Glory bible study at St. John the Divine. After cancer hit, you would walk in every Thursday morning, with or without hair, with or without a head covering, but always with a smile from ear to ear and a big hug. We loved you so. The last time we saw you was in SJD´s chapel where our prayer group meets every Tuesday to pray for those with cancer. You came for hands-on prayer. And boy did we pray over you. After we all prayed you said, now I´m going to pray for you, and boy did you pray. Then you were off to Santa Fe in a private plane, because you had never before, "been in one". You and I texted a few times and then you couldn´t. You are now in heaven where there is no more pain, only perfection in the presence of our God Almighty whom you loved. God bless you sweet friend. We will
spend eternity together. All my love, Nikki
