I was so sorry to hear about Shelley. My mom and her dad were brother and sister. I remember sleepovers at her house when we were all younger. I have fun memories of those years when our two family´s would get together. I´m sorry we lost touch over the years but I had to let her family know how sorry I am. It sounds like she had a beautiful life.
Thinking of you all,
Connie Hobbie

My sympathies to the family of a beautiful lady, who lived her life with zest. Her same loving spirit lives on, and remains in the heart of those her loved her. God's blessings and comfort in this time of sorrow.

I grew up marvelling at Ms. Smith's confidence and calm on Pyramid. Occasionally, I would reacquaint myself on Youtube with her brilliance and poise, happily winning prize money for her partner contestants. She never seemed to take credit herself, always stepping aside as the winners celebrated with Dick Clark and their families. I remember her from "The Associates," too. She was class personified. What an incredible life of giving. Sincerest condolences to her family, especially Her husband. RIP, Ms. Smith. May your legacy last forever. Thanks for the memories.

Our thoughts go out to Michael and Shelley's family, from the folks at Antioch University Los Angeles. We are so sorry to hear about Shelley's passing. We will certainly be thinking of you all as you deal with her loss. So very sorry.
