The family of Shelly have my deepest condolences. I met Shelly in 1999 while working in 5B ICU at Norton Hospital. Our friendship was instant. We remained friends across the distance of time and miles sharing frequently. She adored her Baby Kate, and was an excellent mother to her. She wanted all to be perfect for her baby. Just know, you as the family will all be in my prayers.

There are no words to be able to express my sympathy. I only worked with Shelly for a short time but it was easy to tell that she was a very kind and gentle person. I did not have the pleasure of knowing her daughter but I have no doubt that she was a great Mother. Please know that you are all in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I graduated from Spalding with Shelly in 1998. We met up again later though mutual friends. When I think of her I remember her as being a beautiful girl inside and out. I know how crazy she was about Kate and it saddens me that she will not have the chance to grow up with her mommy. You are in my prayers.

Brenda, Ronny, and Family
I send my thoughts and prayers to you all. Shelly was an awesome lady. I remember all the times we had together in youth group at Maple Grove and will always cherish those. If you need anything please feel free to let me know. My favorite poem is Footprints in the Sand due to the fact it reminds us that we have God to carry us when we need him and now you have a VERY SPECIAL guardian angel. My heart goes out to you all.

Shelly's family & little Kate are in my thoughts and prayers. What a terrible tragedy. Shelly is remembered as such a kind & sweet spirit. May we all keep a little of that in our own hearts in memory of her.

Shelly, I will miss our long talks we have had throughout the years. My heart breaks for young Kate who will not be able to grow up with her wonderful mother. I don't understand why God has taken you from us too early, but I know that you will be watching over Kate as she grows into a wonderful young woman, just like her mommy. I will never forget you.
